This can't be life



Broke homeless nowhere to go
Lost hopeless don't know how this goes
The ghost be lurking late at night when you're not looking
Under this bridge all broke down all my life these in here bags
Noone to care
All the people that I helped loaned money opened my door lent my car where are they now
Nowhere in sight it's all one long bad night just sitting here crying looking back at my life
They plotted they plan I'll never understand how i became the one to loose it all in life
Time to move one become better become strong
It's something better for me in this life
One to live best to get busy don't know how long this life I'll be living
I'll stand I'll struggle rough and easy imma come out on top in this life
