You don't know what it's like
fallen asleep on a cardboard box
on the dirty sidewalk
and waken up to
dirty looks from people
in they suits n ties.
You don't know what it's like
getten beat to the ground
by thugs who want drugs.
You don't know what it's like
asken for money all day
n not getten none
'cause people think you gone use it for crack.
you don't know what it's like
haven no food all day
and eaten from the dumpsters
'cause it's better than nothin at all.
You don't know what it's like
wearen the same clothes
caked in dirt everyday.
You don't know what it's like
havin no one care boutchu
and prayin to god every night
for a place to live.
You don't know what it's like
runnin from the cops
so I don't get arrested
n put in jail.
I ain't do nothin wrong in my life
But some how it seems like such a strife
jus' to get through to tomorrow.
