Scared and cold,
First night on the streets
Your body hurts
From your head to your feet
You miss school,
Not the work-its the friends
Thinking what you'll say
When they ask
Where you been
Gotta dollar-fifty,
Every penny gotta spend
Make a wrong move...boom
Your life comes to an end.
that is wat kids will think in there heads as life goes on and they try to fight to stay alive
