"Life for me" (Mother to son imitation)

Life for Me

Well Mya, I'll tell you

Life for me ain't been no mansion

It had old paint

and stinks

and has moss growing up the sides

and cracked up windows

Cold

But at the same time

I've been working on it

and patching up holes

and fixing ceilings

I sometimes don't even sleep

when I want to pass out

So dont you stop now

Don't you give up

Just cause you can't do it

For I'm still movin

For I'm still adjusting

And life for me ain't been no mansion
