If You're On Hand-Outs You Ain't Nothin'

Poem

By Canuck Scriber Lisa LachapellePublished 4 years ago • Updated 4 years ago • 1 min read
Me

If you're on handouts you ain't nothin'?

I know what I'm not

Some forget where they come from

I don't need a snot who comes from downtown tell me how to throw wicked to the ground either

I have experience and never be down for long

I can out write you, out sing you, plus draw your future

My path is quite different, we're not even in the same room

Let alone station in life

So keep what you got to yourself

I have stuff to do

I'm a strong woman what's it to you

Strength doesn't come in numbers in comes in essence

Bet you can barely sense my presence

If you're on hand outs you ain't nothin'?

...that was the plan

So why don't you get behind the man

That's sarcasm

We'll see how your own fortune is heading not my hand

I got my own to find

Give me a second to breathe

I'll be up in a second
