I Still #2



                          I Still #2

         I'm on the street
         And forced to eat
         I Still #2
         But they say" What's wrong with you"
         Nothing. I repeat.
         I'm doing what I'm not use to
         Ask my Dietitian.
         I'm not malnutrition.
         I use apple jam
         & PAM
         All they have is butter.
         That's not the other.
         Nanny has fruit.
         & I Still #2.
         Why can't they see,
         Nothing's wrong with me,
         Til I got all that stuff,
         But it's too much?
         Now all I want to do is sleep,
         Not overeat.
         They're so demanding.
         Not understanding.
         Just juice
         & I Still #2.
