Help
He's just a kid, his name is Freddie
Mom financially unsteady
Barely any food in his belly
The way he's living it is deadly
The weight on his shoulders, it is heavy
He's ready to give up already
Instead he
Finds a way to make it work
Wants to cry but instead he smirks
Got a job as a gas station clerk
All his co-workers are jerks
To God, he begged
"please give me bread my mama getting sick and she needs some meds"
He's on the edge
Has so much stress
There's no progress
He don't possess
The things he needs
He wasn't blessed
He's been reading a lot of MacArthur
and he's only getting smarter
Uses lyrics as an armor
Wants to grow to be a doctor
Mama was r*ped, they tried to harm her
He don't even know his father
So he grew without that figure
And it's only made him stronger
This is just to show that there's more to life
Than riding bikes or flying kites
you must realize
the pain you see in others eyes
it is a sign, that they need help
so don't ignore it
put your head and heart toward it
report it
do everything you can to support him
the more people that help is more people that your helping
there's thousands of people out there just waiting for a blessing
so just start checking
just ask if they're okay
'cause the smallest little thing
could really make somebodies day
