Story Behind The Song

We wanted to do something different as a hip hop camp. We don't have any friends with all the diamonds and fancy cars that permeate the hip hop game now. We know more people who are close to being homeless than we do people who are riding in Mercedes

Song Description

The sond gives a description of a man who is shocked that he has found himself in a situation that has him homeless. He interacts with others who then realize they are 2 checks away from being homeless themselves.

Lyrics

VERSE 1-Standing on this corner watching time go by/, my eyes are heavy didn't get no sleep last night/let me tell yall what's been plaguing my mind/it's a combination of missed dreams and wasted time/tried to sell this weed until i got knocked/standing on the corner 6 dollars in my pocket/looking down the street aint got no place to go/anywhere my feet stops just has to be home.
HOOK- Now I'm standing on this corner/yall know yall don't wanna/go thru everything that happened to me
VERSE 2-Aint got no chance to ask no reasons why/where are my nigga's that said they'd be by my side/hunger pains in my stomach can't take it no more/the chinese food place just threw a bag outside the door/by myself so alone/and let me tell it sometimes it get so cold/but I am man and I have a little pride/ so I use the rain to hide the tears in my eyes
HOOK Repeat 2x's
(Mechel Rich)
VERSE 3- Walk the streets all day just looking for food/got 2 kids to feed and none of us have decent shoes/it's starting to rain got to get us all to a covered spot/i stand under here for now, it's the only choice I've got/when I go for help they always want to take my baby's/hey somebody give me a chance I'm a real smart lady/dropped out of school to help raise my sister's and brothers/look at me now, sharing this corner with millions of others
HOOK and PSA
