Yes I Know

Yes I know people are talking
But as for me
I'm just going to keep on walking
Girl gotta do what she needs to do
To survive these streets
Heck and nightmares
Exactly what this lady is living through

Have two
Carrying one
She a pregnant mommy left on her own
All alone
Now what is she gonna do?

Working two jobs
But a few others on the side
A Latina girl with high expectations for her money and herself
When in her small apartment
There's no room for a shelf
To place her achievements
Yeah you better believe it

A wealthy woman with a nice house
And a fresh ride
But she husslin' to make that extra money on the side
Over 100 grand is how much debt she is in
On top of it all
Her husband just died
He commited suicide
Now what is she gonna do?
Now what would you do?
If the federals were coming after you..

What You Say and What I Claim

You see the words that you speak
Aren't the words that I will greet
In my head

The difference is that I claim my victory
No, I'm not trying to tell someone else's story
This is my own

I'm a poet, yes indeed
I might make fresh rhymes but that doesn't mean that I have to take a puff of this 
weed
I'm me

Drugs and violence, that's what the record labels are sellin'
But trust me they ain't really tellin'
The after affects of their decisions

And as I start to come to a conclusion on this poem
I just want to let you know that you're never alone
So why worry?
