Back Seat Convo

Back seat convo

I didn't grow up with wishing wells

So I give my money to the homeless and wish them well

Survival is a must when you run out of luck

Have to do what it takes when your mistakes run out of lessons

Mind steady racing

Wondering when You going to catch a blessing

Insides wrestling to keep the food pin

Even though it hurt still have to walk around with a grind

No one trying to listen

So you hold up signs

hope someone pays attention

You asking for change

But change ain't going to make a difference

If it don't create a home

Or make you hurt less

Don't hold your breath

Even though your life is underwater

Still, need room to move forward

Aim for the bushes when you feel like jumping

Playing with concrete won't make you stronger

Suicide don't mean you get to start over

So count living as blessing

You are a soldier to someone that plans on enlisting

Keeping youngsters off the streets

Watching you grief

I know that's sucks

But someone has to muscle up

Least it gives you a FUCK to give

Knowing all that's been taking

It's strange how much you can learn from a naked soul

But remember as long as your alive

You have time to grow

I drove through bunch of lives

Like obesity weighing on people's minds

But I'm still alone without a home

Watch cars go by and nobody

Have time to give me a dime

Didn't know it was a crime

To say hi to the innocent person in the back seat

I know my clothes are beat

But doesn't mean they can throw words at me

Trade shoes with me

Oh wait I have bare feet

Y'all wear slides just to go outside

While I'm sliding cause my feet is stuck to the street

If you watch closely

you will see the tear that does magic to my smile

Yall tell me to get a job

But won't pay me for cleaning your windows

Now you see why I'm poor

I would be making a killing

If the red light lasted for 24 hours

But then Y'all would feel my struggle

For I would never ask anyone

To fight with rats over scraps

Or dig in the trash for a snack

There's Not enough room on this sign to tell my story

But I thank you for listening

For your ears has been a blessing

So go ahead and put your foot on the gas

Don't you dare look back

This life I'm living isn't where it's at.
