Have you ever been homeless ?
you ever been kicked out
i ain’t been kicked out
but i’ve been homeless
fuck that i am homeless
i’m couch surfing
on my knees praying to the man upstairs for a purpose of this pain i’m going through
a reason for the grief i’m holding onto
truth is
if you had seen what i’ve seen you’d won’t believe
i’m only 19
at 16 had a gun on my hip
every night i was high
i was 16 doing grown shit
16 but in my mind i was 25
asking jehova why i had this kind of life
that day i saw the pain i brought to my mothers eyes
pain in these poetic lines
16 my brother had a different life
i was tryna fuck a prep bitch to see what that life like
16 i had to prep shit skimming the .5’s
16 bronem gave me pills for nickels and dimes
16 life flashed before my eyes once i saw that hollow tip
never had a job in my life till i was 18
dropped out in grade 9
always learned how to come by
for that money
i never knew had to live life
only learned how to survive
everybody got a sad story
just tryna tell mine
not even poetry no more i’m just venting on these lines
so tell me
you ever been homeless
that tent where i used to say home is
so tell me
you ever been homeless
friends kitchen where my lunch is
