POV

“ Single black parent from Compton raising children of 4
That’s 4 innocent bastards cause Papa, they don’t know
Her day consists of working back and forth with babysitters
Can’t find no one to watch her kids, so she pay her sister
Her baby daddy ain’t ‘bout shit, that nigga ain’t ‘bout shit
Spilt his daughter milk just to cop a new outfit
She pray to God every night hoping that he’ll mature
And maybe one day his kids, something that he’ll live for
Baby wanna go back to school but she need some help
Because it’s hard trying to pay the bills when you by yourself
She thought about credit card scams, until she heard a voice
It said the Devil is a lie, make a better choice
And so it’s back to McDonald’s and every month dealing
With those crazy ass people at the county building
Looked to the heavens and asked them to make a better way
Then got a letter in the mail, lost her section 8
Then lost her faith again
