Cinnamon Toast

Growing up we didn't have much Ate at school a homemade lunch Peanut butter jelly with A side of humble pie Mama taught me don't be jelly Daddy taught me not to cry Be thankful for what you got The love we have can't be bought Driving home we played Ramsey Dreaming of eating with Ramsay Only money on necessities Water, heat, food, electricity Credit card debt a deadly pit You dig and you dig till you split Parents talking how we gonna make this work Hardwork is the real work That throw dirt That turn hurt Leaving you In the desert Through through it was all good Blessed to have my childhood Simple serving simple life A moment away from all the strife Two pieces of toast I was living the most We were dead broke Savings a ghost Life stayed afloat Had cinnamon toast I got dirt on my new shoes I got shorts on that been used I got mom cookin' up stew I got no sources of revenue At Lewis Avenue Rent due Felt screwed To who knew Few view With the new through a lens I was blue, I knew I did Count my blessings I'm just a kid with no dream in sight Mama said it will be alright God kept me calm through the night All night we prayed keep the lights on Please restore my right hand Doubts not what I need School shirts not what I need Full belly not what I need Praying hands got two of these Tuition on both my knees AC at 2 degrees None in the family I changed my family Tree was broke, but now I'm free Was blind but now I see We were dead broke Savings a ghost Life stayed afloat Had cinnamon toast
