This life I live!
This life I live is not make believe,
Rough surroundings make up like Maybelene,
My ears stay open to what they say to me,
Shells and abandonments fashion creatively,
The streets are greasey,
Sidewalks covered in feces,
Encounter the greedy,
Turn their backs on the needy,
O begged for change wether or not you believe me,
Non-Existant cause they can't see me,
The sidewalk will be my bed tonight,
Tree brushes I rest my head tonight,
I p*ss in a fence sometimes a alley,
My worses state in the streets of Cali,
Cardboard boxes,
Prostituting foxes,
Seeing these visions push me to be prosperous,
After seeing passengers yelling their mocks at us!
