HARD OUT HERE FOR A KID  

My father left home long ago;My drunk of a mother Told me so.You can’t believe nuthin She says.She takes the side Of whoever pays.

 

I have no food,And no bed.Not calling it quits;She’ll be happy If I’m dead.

 

On the streets,I make my living.Robbing, dog fighting,And a little drug dealing.

 

I wish things were different But the world I was born into I can’t change.I am a product of what my father did;It’s hard out here for a kid.
