I GOT KIDS TO FEED

 
Ooh that chronograph would look good on my wrist
Though I like it, it’s really a want and not a need
I know I could walk around the office and flaunt it
I have the money for it but dang it I got kids to feed!

I’ve been a hankering to go on a long vacation
Go to Pamplona and run with the bulls in the stampede
But I’m getting a little too old for these shenanigans
I’ve been dreaming of skydiving but I got kids to feed!

Though I’m in a good place as far as income is concerned
There was a point when my family had some tough times
I had to skip a meal or two to have enough to go around
We did ok, even if we had to count nickels and dimes

But I appreciate those hard times because now I feel blessed
We tightened up our budgets and eventually pulled through
And though I live in one of the richest nations in the world
In my town
Hunger and homelessness has become an even bigger issue

I try to live within my means and still enjoy the nice things
Understanding the difference between want and need
I can afford the chronograph but family time is important too
I work hard and laugh a lot even when l got them kids to feed
