Money is tight; I would do anything
Just to know what tomorrow will bring
All I ask is have a good life to know it'll be alright
I sit up for hours upon hours studing at night
Is all of this going to waste? what can I do?
I want to go to college and become something too!
I know it's asking a lot, I just want you understand
In two years, I'll be on my own without your hand
To get the money needed, it's going to be rough
But I can't run away from this, I have to be tough
I need something, a grant or maybe a loan
Please help me, before I'm grown.
I just need a little push to try to do something good
I want to live the life that I think I should
You always said if I set my mind to something
I could do it. I think it's time for it to have meaning
Maybe I can become real smart in the next two years
Just failing you is my only worst fear.
