The Loser’s Song

Written by C Hues

I pick up a pen to stick up men
This is my weapon, I been up since
10 A.M., and sleep by 4, it rains it pours
I lost my job, my household chores
Are getting old, and it’s outta control
The 30-year-old with a teenager’s soul
I mean I feel like Peter Parker but black
I’m runnin’ out of money and it’s funny in fact
I got some dates comin’ up, and I’m hatin’ the sun
My reflection’s messin’ with me sayin’ I’m done
When’s the last time you won? One of a kind—
A loner by name, you were just a rebound
But she was the same, or a backup, young black pup
Keep your head up, usin’ that woman to make another mad
You got three at a time and another first day next week
Yet nothin’ in your pockets but your phone and your keys.
