WAITING ON PAYDAY

Breaking news at the top of the hour 

Today I got pay there is no need to borrow 

I know at times I look a wreck 

But it's rough as heck 

Living form paycheck to paycheck.

Some of my friends become dumb 

As soon as I come around 

They know I have little mouths to feed 

Yet my so called friends would not sow a seed.

Give and it shall be given to you 

But only for a few this is true 

The ones that has little are always first to share 

But those with much, well they easily disappear.

Today I will pay a few bills 

I don't have much to spend 

I couldn't say how the other will be taken care of 

And only God knows when.

Living this life makes me mad as heck 

Especially when I think of how 

I am going to make it 

From paycheck to paycheck.
