I Don'T Got a Dime

I Don’t Got a Dime
Author Dana Redricks
September 14, 2014

I don’t got a dime to my name
Standing in the rain.
I got problems heavy on the brain,
Going through the motion about
To go insane.
I can’t stand the pain.
I don’t got a dime to my name.
I’m a loss words of fame.
So I’m standing in the rain.
With a pocket pull of lent, and
I got to pay the rent.
Money come, and money goes,
But I can’t watch that cash flow.
I don’t have no place to go, and I don’t  
Feel like putting on a show.
I need money don’t you know.
Trying to hussle, and flow.
I got to get grind on for show.
Baby don’t you know.
It’s all about hussle , and flow.

And yes, how well I remember long ago in my young life saying exactly that and how true it was! Dana Redricks June 30, 2016 at 1:39 AM True life can be a struggle, but with Gods help we survive.
