Mother
A mother working four jobs
 Just to get her daughter through college
 Works double shifts
 Just to have a place to live
 She doesn’t care
 About how the heiresses wear their hair
 Diamonds and platinum don’t faze her
 Cause she’s gonna have to work later
 Paris Hilton in jail
 Easily making bail
 While she gets to worry ‘bout the bills
 A princess driving a Porshe
 She’s at her worst
 Waiting for the day when the letter says:
 Congratulations, you have been chosen
 To live your life to the fullest
 Just thank your Mom
 So she knows her hard work
 Made a life for you
 You never knew
 How much she gave for you
 You don’t know that her only hopes for you
 Were to live the life she never knew
 And grow to be the best you ever could
 She worshiped that floor to help
 You explore your wildest wonders
 Do you see  this life she wanted for her baby
 People struggling to make ends meet
 While others are jumping to the beat
 We must help each other
 To help ourselves
 When we work together
 To lift one and other
 To stand up on our feet again
 Help our friends
 Live the way they need
 So that they won’t ever see
 That underpass home ever again
 And they can get some rest
 Before they go before the jury
 For living their life in a hurry
 Only try to succeed
 And satisfy their need
 Our names held high
 As we say goodbye
 To the world we once knew
 Together we stand
 But divided we fall
 Like a domino effect
 The world will change for all
 And become a place
 For people to be
 Forever happy
 Forever free
 People living on the street
 Living life like rats
 People starving
 People beaten like cats
 But yet all we hear is raps
 About how it’s so hard
 Carrying hundred pound bling
 With that ring
 He could buy a country
 He has his own clothing line
 But the homeless
 Have no clue who he is
 They’re too busy worrying
 Where their next meal is
 Hurrying to gather their things
 ‘Cause it’s about to rain
 Got to get under that bridge
 Their new concrete bed
 Welcoming their head
 Another nights rest
 For the homeless
 While he is rollin’ in his Benz
 With 48 inch rims
 10,000 grand on hand
 Bet he doesn’t know how it feels
 To not know when
 You’re gonna get to eat again
