A few dollars to here name is all she had,
No near grocery store without two bus rides, but she doesn't have fare,
Had her feeling like life just isn't fair,
As mother Hubert finds pantry bare,
Middle of the months no assistance for weeks it hard here,
Poverty level outnumber jobs here,
Understand why they rob, hoe, and drug deal,
Its like factoring in humidity of life, to understand the real feel,
Kids stomach growling and the only help here is the cornerstone and backbone of poverty sad not pathetic,
Cornerstore would say I am giving to much credit,
But thanks for giving my beautiful queen the credit,
Chicken box, Chop cheese, and Patty with Coco bread kept a young boy fed,
Momma came home with the black plastic bag,
