Skint

If I was down to my last dollar,- would you try & help me?

If I had to steal food to eat,- would you rat on me?

What if your child wanted something,- you had a dollar to your name

If you & yours had nothing,- would you see it clearer than you think?

So would you, could you, can you,- give me some mercy?

Would you, could you, can you,- grant me some leniency?

I started out with nothing, & still have most of it left

I came from a place you don't want to go,- not even for a sec

Everyone's out looking for deals these days from the grocery giants

It's not your compliments that we need,- but it is a reprieve
