Her sGon just got convicted, he blew some punk away 
She did her bBbest to raise him, but the world got in the way

Hey God, I'm just a little man got a wife and family

But I almost lost the house

Yeah, I bought into the dream

We're barely holdin' on, when I'm in way to deep

We're two paychecks away from living out on the streets

She's a workin' single mom, like a Saint she doesn't complain

She never says a word, but she thinks that she's to blame

Her son just got convicted, he blew some punk away

She did her best to raise him, but the world got in the way
