Most of you probably won’t experience being this poor
Looking for money, going door to door
There is always a flipside to the downside
Once u hit the point where my family is at,
Things get noticed more
More appreciated
Then when money comes back around
It’ll get spent, it’s just bound.
Buying things becomes all too rare
This is when you really begin to care.
Just having enough to get by
But I always keep smiling and telling everyone “hi!”
I know this is just a simple trial
Since I know this I’ll never hit denial.
Just keep going on the positive side
Although now it’s not as wide.
Still gotta live life by the day
Never stop in any way.
Never thinking of what’s in the past
Avoiding thought of the future.
As the past is gone
And the future is yet to come
So for you who just live day by the day
I stick up my thumb.
Now everything we get has value to me
Almost a feeling of not being free.
In this thing I feel
To me it’s a huge spiritual heal.
Not even having money for gas
People, friends birthdays come up
On getting them gifts I have to pass.
Your probably feeling sorry now
Well don’t.
Cuz you just don’t know how
How much I value each and every day
Asking the Lord if we may
Live through this new kind of way
No it’s not any sort of fun
But not much can be done.
Although we are poor
Jesus had nothing tangible
We still have more.
So I’m thankful for what we already have
Not imagining what I could have
But what I already own.
This is the feeling your parents always told you about
That if you don’t get what you want
DO NOT pout.
Because I assure you that you have more than somebody else
This trial is just a test
To see if our trust and faith is as strong as we proclaim it
Even though in bein poor, there is no fame in it
But what is fame?
Just being a secular idle.
Who cares if it is no fun
This place is earth
Surrounded by hell
I know once or twice you have fell
More than likely even more than that
But do not fret
Just get back up and tip yo hat
