SKID ROW

Can a girl of twenty one feel safe on Skid Row ?
The answer all too easy and is definitely no
Drugs, prostitution, homicide all occur here
So much to worry about so much to fearĀ 

What's it like to be a resident on Skid Row ?
Your world in carrier bags is not just for show
Getting through each day is the ultimate aim
Survival of the fittest is a most difficult gameĀ 

Tourists and locals avoid people on Skid Row
Don't venture a nod, smile or even a hello
Skid Row home to people known as deadbeats
Choosing to live life on these well worn streets
