"Glamour Of A Food Stamp"

Glamour of a food stamp
(Glamour of a food stamp)
That's just where I come from
(Shit that's where I come from)
Three words like I love you
(Three words like I love you)
Scare me more than any one
(Scare me more than anyone)

Six kids
Welfare
No lights
No fun
Dad's dead
No he's not
He just
On the run
I'm brown but I'm not
I'm white but I'm not
I'm woke but I'm not
I'm broke but I'm not
I'm out here with you and my life's surreal
I was only 14 I wasn't ready to deal

Switch...
Maybe I deserved it
The truth is in between my lies
Tell me have I earned it?

Six kids
Welfare
No lights
No fun
Dad's dead
No he's not
He's just
On the run
I'm brown but I'm not
I'm white but I'm not
I'm dead but I'm not
Alive but I'm not
I'm out here with you and my life's surreal
I was only 14 I wasn't ready to deal
Momma, momma can't say
Daddy, da-daddy gonna run
Fuck me up for life

To tell you the truth I don't always feel sad
But I must get over this childhood I had
I must come face-to-face with my fate
I must go blow for blow with my hate
I must embrace all the things that I had
Get over the things I can't change in my past
I must come face-to-face with my fate
I must go blow for blow with my hate

Switch...
Maybe I deserved it
The truth is in between my lies
Tell me have I earned it?

Glamour of a food stamp
That's just where I come from
Three words like I love you
Scare me more than any one
If I would control you
Will you then control me?
Three words like I love you
Scare me more than any one

Six kids
Welfare
No lights
No fun
Dad's dead
No he's not
He's just
On the run
I'm brown but I'm not
I'm white but I'm not
I'm dead but I'm not
Alive but I'm not
I'm out here with you and my life's surreal
I was only 14 I wasn't ready to deal
Momma, momma can't say
Daddy, da-daddy gonna run
Fuck me up for life
