Welfare

The other side seems sunnier
Mom's still waitin on her money, well
Guess we'll have to wait a little while longer

Ask myself how long this will last
Mom talkin bout our future being middle class
My whole life has been bout simpler times

I know,
this aint nothin she chose
And i know
We have it better Than most

...tho i longed for more...

Packed our bags and moved to a Small town
Momma hoped that we would calm
Down
Me and my brother always up to sumthin

Moved from shitty apartments to the next one
Momma Promised things would work out with the next one
But unpaid rent always leads to runnin

what does state of mind have to do with giving birth
nothing, yet you question things that did occur
you deny the fact, with a single word (DEVIL)

thats no way to treat your own flesh and blood
proudly claiming that none of us was lesser loved
this woman never judged

devil made him do it, and the devil kept him going
the devil gave him hate, and the hatred overflowed
devil took it's place, and the devil kept on growing
her belief was ever stoic

now maybe you never knew how to raise a child
but you took it the challenge when day arrived
you bought him clothes and had a name assigned
yet you couldnt control it
