Hello?

 I roam the streets

Trying to see what’s going on.

I call out.

The streets don’t answer.


I’m just trying to see the quickest way to make a buck.

I called my mom two days ago,

And she ain’t called me back yet.


The dancers make good money,

But they spend it all on crack cocaine.

That’s the price they have to pay

To be willing to put their make up on again 

And smile.


I called my mom two days ago,

And she ain’t called me back.

I just wanted to tell her happy Mother’s Day.

I got to find something that will answer me,

Something that will make me willing

To put my makeup on again and smile.


I’m done tryin to be philosophical.

I got to put my make up on and smile.
