Coming from where I come from along with a lot of others within the urban community, this just describes some of the everyday hardships that a young male feels sometimes. Very straight to the point.

Man, my damn lanlord is riffin, plus my girlfriend is trippin
I done had it up to here, and now she’s talkin bout skippin
feelin like jus another unemployed cat, wit nada on the rent
pocket full of lint, I ain’t got a red cent!
shit’s real stressful, all thanks to me
stomach on starvin, tank on E!
outside I laugh, inside I cry
food is low, but these bills….sky high!
reclining on these steps, no signs of a check
so broke I can’t even afford to demand my respect
