Street Raised
He was a father less child
no mother around
community bound
the streets raised him proud
She was a mother less child
No father around
Opportunity found
The streets raised her proud
The Lord knows the best of us
Wasn't blessed with a sliver spoon
Just like a rose can't pick where it blooms
Nor a child from its mother womb
