Use to be like you

                     Hi, i'm a female with dirty hair, torn clothes and smell like garbage

                     But did you know i use to be like you

                     I have three kids, two boys and one girl

                    My life was going good until the storm came rolling in

                    Now i stand on the highway, can you help me friend

                     I was a single mother like you, but you don't know how it feel now

                   Begging for money to feed my dead child

                    She passed away when she was only one

                   Now look at me,would you help me if  i was your son

                   Hi, i'm a male only twenty two years old

                    Yes i look and smell like a swamp toad

                  "Do you have some money", do you even care

                   Of course not beacuse i see you drive off without giving me a peice of your pear

                  We all  have different backgrounds, but we all are the same

                  I use to be like you, until my whole life change

 

 

  • When will we help the ones that are homeless, You can say it's their fault but think about it, What if it was you, on that street with your kids, You can say you will make sure it will never happen but it can happen anyday, so please help the homeless because they are still somebody, What happen to working together, The government or the president can't do it alone, Give a penny that penny can change into a $1000, Show that you care
