Chester P - The Homeless Song lyrics

I’m from a corner where these
Shadows want to murder ya
With hyperdermics to tackle the hypothermia
I’m trying to make it through the
Winter where the season’s bad
And police officers came and they
Took my sleeping bag

If every king deserves a castle
Then the truth is
My kingdom is out of reach because
This world has left me roofless

I’m losing dignity every time I choose to eat
And now there’s metal spikes where
I used to sleep i used to play guitar and
Busk in the spotlight until I lost a couple
Fingers to the frostbite
And overall it’s like I’m barely even visible
This mental struggle took it's
Toll upon my physical
I sit and watch the street
Devoured by it's owns traps
And people wonder why the hell
I wanna smoke cracks

Every king deserves a kingdom
Then the truth is
My kingdom is out of reach because
This world has left me roofless

They keep on telling us there
Is no second night out
But, I’ve been sleeping rough for more
Than half my life now
It’s kind of hard to find a
Purpose in this pipe smoke
I sit and wonder where did all my life go
This disenchantment is all I have
To call my own
These dirty stairs to the shops are
The place I call home

If every king deserves a castle
Then the truth is
My kingdom is out of reach because
This world has left me roofless

Can you fathom how it feels
To watch the world passing by
While you’re begging for a meal
And no one looks you in your eyes
So can you fathom how it feels
To see the people pass by
While they’re shopping for a deal
And no one looks you in your eyes
