Earn a Living

I be dealing on the side To make ends meet So forgive me if I prefer to hide, It's my end that I don't want to meet Cause I've got many mouths to feed And many faces looking at me So that when I speak they lip read, For what I say goes, life for them is up to me So forgive me if I'm different It's my choice of my life I was always born different That's why at my age I don't have a wife Cause I've got responsibilities on me My priority right now is family and myself And I don't want to pile one more body on me Cause they're days when it gets tough to take care of myself But be grateful I still send money home When you receive just know I'm alive Sorry I'm not able to call home It's cause I don't have a permanent place I live I'm always on the move at times I'm the corner boy So I have to be on the look out at all times But since I've been good I'm the go to boy So my product always gets sold out all times
