Sex, Money and Problems

Everyone has all three
Sex is an adventerous thing
Fun, without a doubt
Money is what you need
When that doubt
Turns into a how?
How did this happen
Living off of
Three jobs, welfare, and child support
Problems are what you have 
When you had all of that adventurous sex
That led up to all that money, you need
To take care of the kids
Who's father is giving you problems
Girl, do what you have to do
Women struggle
If you want to get somewhere
Sometimes you need to hustle
It's far from a bad thing
Bad things turn out good
I was raised in the streets
So what if your hood
I'm going to change my attitude
I'll do good
Something's aren't fair
Just don't let your kids stare
Stare at what they need
The food you feed them
The blood you bleed for them
You are still human
So hustle if you have to
They'll remember it
They'll love you for it
When you struggle for your kids
And get past the sex, money and problems
That is the best thing, you can do
So don't be a fool
Do what you have to do
and KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!!!

I know my mother struggled for us....we may have been poor but there was no hunger to discuss....we didn't have the finer things but I was rich beyond compare....she'd whip my ass cook my food and kiss my booboos just to show she cared....;)
