Just try'n to make it
Just try'n to get by
but it's so hard to do
on just nickles and dimes.
There's no food in the kitchen
but there's shoes on my feet
nothing but a hard ass floor
for me to lay my head down to sleep.
Walk'n and buss'n
and hitch'n rides
Just try'n to get by
on theese nickles and dimes.
So tired of try'n
When all I get is heat
As if it's not bad enough
You want ME to rub Your feet
Ha- Ha!
Boy; Try me one more time, let me tell ya sweet thang
Your starting to make me cry
Your not happy with your dinner, I scraped up with dimes
It's time for me to say Ha-Ha ____- goodbye!
Ha' Ha' Ha' Huh!

One day as getting on the bus I had to pay with nickles and dimes.
Thinking of the night before I took out paper & pen on the bus
& wrote theese lyrics. I'm almost embarrassed to write it
but it is a true moment in time. So the truth shall set us free.
