2 hours you make a g

Jeremy and his mother now live in San Jose with her mother.  Jeremy’s father was given three strikes and sentenced to life behind bars.  Fourteen year old Jeremy wrote this poem himself.

 

you have 2 children

wanna give them everything

you can’t afford it

2 jobs is not enough

you sell some weed

damn  2 hours you make a g

kids got nice clothes

hot running water

selling weed is illegal

caught

first time offender

house arrest

now who pays the bills

you sell some weed

damn  2 hours you make a g

kids got nice clothes

hot running water

selling weed is illegal

caught

freedom

nobody hires ex cons

you sell some weed

damn 2 hours you make a g

kids got nice clothes

hot running water

selling weed is illegal

caught

strike 3

 

dad could have tried harder

to find a job

stop selling drugs

he had to sell weed

2 hours make a g

so we could have nice clothes

hot running water

and no dad
