Housework

I feel like I go to work everyday

But where I work I don't get paid

Work in school learnin' the supposed rule

But in the street I make my own rules

Mama just wanted me to do my homework

But when I get home Ma left a note

Do the housework

So when I'm done with the chores

I go outside and learnsamore

Out in the street I got friends just like me

Pops is gone and mom's workin' 5 and 6 days a week

Me and my partners tryin' things just to see what it means

A drink here a smoke there what was dirty is now clean

Mama tryin' but we got to survive

So now I got to get a 9 to 5
