Childhood part of my life,

it wasn't very pretty

You see, I was born and raised

in the slums of the city

It was a one room shack that slept ten

other children besides me

Needed something to ease

my troubled mind

Listen! my father didn't know

the meaning of work

He disrespected mama,

and treated us like dirt

I left home, seekin' a job that

I never did find

Depressed and downhearted
