Forever Welfare

Been standing in this line so long,

Each month I feel despair,

Riding the systems coaster,

I'm forever welfare.

My daddy did it before me,

My granddaddy too,

Been in this situation,

Don't know what to do.

I don't have an education,Just cant get no where.

The only title I have kept,

Is Mr forever welfare.

Now I have a family,Can I break this spell,

And have a better life for them,

Knowing more than hell.

I want them to have more,

Than I could ever dare,

Not growing up in a lifetime,

Of forever welfare
