Poverty

Listen up! For everybody out there with no money struggling to survive This song's for you Everyday you're praying for a change You're tired of living life this way (Please God) You feel like you're in misery you can't explain You're praying you'll get out someday Poverty You just can't take it tired of being broke Poverty is real best believe it's not a joke You try to move forward, feel you're about to lose hope Hard to live positive when your back's against the ropes Even though you're praying nothing goes your way Anything you do never makes it go away You work a nine to five on a job underpaid Bill collectors on the phone always calling every day You got to keep moving got to stay strong Got to keep your head up know that you belong Don't listen to the haters they don't know what's going on They don't know the misery you feel you wish it was gone Don't know if you can make it worried deep inside Need another car can't afford another ride Your look is so bad that it makes you want to cry You cannot escape the pain and it makes you wonder why Everyday you're praying for a change You're tired of living life this way (Please God) You feel like you're in misery you can't explain You're praying you'll get out someday Poverty The world that you live in tries to bring you down All you do is wish you could turn it all around It's hard to get ahead living in a small town You cannot produce a smile all you can do is frown Everyday you're wishing for the curse to break You try to take control 'cause it's all that you can take You won't a good life can't afford no mistakes Got to make the right decisions with the choices that you make You know you're not dreaming it's like a nightmare This world is really cruel think they never treat you fair You're living hand-to-mouth, but nobody seems to care Doing all that you can do to buy the clothes that you wear You got to do something gotta ease the pain Poverty has got you down driving you insane The sun never shines all it ever does is rain Yeah, you got nothing to lose and you've got a lot to gain Everyday you're praying for a change You're tired of living life this way (Please God) You feel like you're in misery you can't explain You're praying you'll get out someday Poverty All you want to do is live a good life Get rid of all the stress, so you can fall asleep at night No matter how you try, nothing's ever going right Going down with the count, but you can't give up the fight You're tired of always losing trying to understand All your money's gone and you're doing all you can Bills are piling up taking money from your hand Tired of dealing with the pressure and it's all that you can stand You hope your life is changing hope it won't be long Through all the pain you've lived life has really made you strong Every day's a struggle trying to stay where you belong Trying to really make a difference do it before your life is gone You don't know where you're going tired of where you've been It's been a hard life and it's hard to comprehend It is a true story because these words are not pretend Poverty will knock you down beat you time and time again Everyday you're praying for a change You're tired of living life this way (Please God) You feel like you're in misery you can't explain You're praying you'll get out someday Poverty I know it's hard You wake up everyday not knowing how the bills are going to get paid Just be strong and believe That someday everything will change I'm praying for you
