Survival

She moves her body with a sexual tempo, slow and easy does it She’s on the corner every night, dressed in next to nothing; skimpily clad Alluring men in her seductress trap a web of pleasure mixed with dishonesty She’s exchanging pleasure for cash its a means to an end, survival that's all it is She doesn’t care who is her partner She just needs to pay her bills She makes no plans for tomorrow, time takes care of its self Her body is worn out from all the late-night adventures A car stops to pick her up She walks up, negotiates her price and jump in the front seat She has no care if she lives or die, all that matters are the bills to pay and the kids to feed She gives pleasure for cash …the money is all that matters, that's all she needs She cares zero about her safety, she's just living from day to day She has no education so the streets is all she knows She just survives every night, selling herself just to pay the bills and feed her kids…survival, that's all it is
