Strangers voice

I want to change the world
Feed the hungry
Shelter the homeless
Help out by lending a hand
I wanna give kids new shoes
Help pay for their school
Be a big brother
Show them better ways
Push them to achieve
Heal the sick
Love those who need it  
 
I want to buy a wine-o wine
Weed for a pothead
To be able to afford freedom
To save lives of soldiers
Pay for a single mothers groceries
Help everyone in December by paying January's rent
You know how stressing that can get
Provide jackets before winter hits
Hand out food when schools out
I want to spread love
Be a friend and give everyone everything I have
Damn I want to change the world

But how can I do that when my own home is barely holding on
Foundation is cracked
Roof about to cave
We stay ready to run
To avoid the trap
Being forced to live how we been
Back and forth disrespect
Dying before our death
Who wants that life to live
It's been so long we forgot how to communicate
Hate has forced us to yell ,scream and cuss

Ran out of rugs to sweep our problems under
Neither one quite remembers why we fell in love
Hard to feel those feelings from the beginning
Our marriage become a second priority to the iPhone
We kept those protected and up to date
We went from the 4s to the 8
Replaced 5 screens ,2 charging ports and 98 charging cords
While only going on 1 date

And that was to the Apple Store

Outperformed by a strangers voice
We don't need marriage counseling
We need mental help
Siri 1 -me and you 0

Damn I want my life back
Let's turn time back
Work past this and never look back
I'll do anything to go back
Bring the love back
God I need my wife back
