To be poor

Thu, 02/04/2016 - 10:06 -- muns14

Yes I'm poor

but rich at heart

i work 2 jobs to take home a little dough

and enough to feed my dog

he's all I got and all I want 

Yes I got my siblings working the same jobs

but we all do that to make my parents able to go to sleep

We don't care 

We don't  want to be known 

We just want to go 

and be college bound

so the people on the other side of the screen 

you can give anyone of the writers an amount of cash 

but just know that it is not the money that's rich

but that a kid is going to go home from work 

and see he has enough to be college bound
