So Hard

We live in a world so cold
where family's are torn apart
the money shortage is destroying us
we might lose this apartment

I must think of a way to get cash
I'll do whatever it takes to make our family last
Should I sell drugs, should I try desperately for a decent job?
What options are there when almost all the jobs are gone
What is a kid at 16 to do when he sees his mother crying
Saying she's trying her best,but the goverment took our money

My little brothers are crying, they don't wanna live on the street
They are 13,12 and 6, and they all look up to me
I'm living in a world so cold, and I wish we could warm it up
What's a kid at 16 to do, when theres not enough..
