Homeless and Afraid Video (MV)

Nobody ever told me it would be this way
Sleeping on a concrete highway
I be waiting for another dry day
And a generous person to look my way
Nobody ever told me body ever told
Nobody ever told me it would be this way
Nobody ever told me body ever told me
Nobody ever told me I would that I would

Sleeping up under the over pass my bed is made on greener grass
Hating myself when I gotta ask if you got change or any cash
Lemme stay on your couch but I'll only crash a day or two what I made of you
Is somebody who never could pay they dues
That's why I be hating you
But Ill never say it cuz I'm f*cking desperate
I'm hungry as f*ck and Im counting my blessing
I'm praying to Jesus to gimme a message
To pull me up outta my beautiful wreckage
It's coming in seconds or minutes or hours
I'm counting on miracles out of the blue
How could I gain more faith when Im in this shit but somehow I still do
It's you my God so odd no mirage no facade
See no lodge no garage I can stay
Any day pay it forward going toward gimme a reason to live
And when I make it to the top it'll trickle down when I give
These kids these women and these men you forget
When your trends take your moral compass and push it in
You men you women on the streets
Ain't nobody gonna help you change ya life to no degree so be free

Homeless and afraid they don't know my name
Homeless and afraid while they throw me shade
Homeless and afraid with this life I made
I'm a ticking time bomb I am a grenade boom

Sleeping up under the over pass my bed is made on greener grass
Hating myself when I gotta ask if you got change or any cash
Lemme stay on your couch but I'll only crash a day or two what I made of you
Somebody who never could pay they due
That's why I be hating you
Waking from that like a bad dream
All clean on my mattress it's half lit my cigarette
Where the pack is right next too where the cash it
I stack it I'm active not like back then
When I used to beg for compassion
And a ration of food in the ashes I'm asking
You to try and put yo self in these shoes
When you don't when the next meal is coming for you to consume
Darkness it looms like a room full of sulfur & doom
Or a bride at the alter unable to find a groom
I assume you can manage to listen if you don't relate
Your debate isn't helping us at all to escape
You just take and never give and it's bout to make me break
Cuz when you look inside your hands all you see is our fate
It aint fake

Homeless and afraid they don't know my name
Homeless and afraid while they throw me shade
Homeless and afraid with this life I made
I'm a ticking time bomb I am a grenade boom
