My Other Half

A baby girl and her mother...
Through the love in my heart
My daughter will live
She only knows my normal half
The other half
The side of drug dealing
And hookering
And suicide
She knows nothing about
I love her and she loves me
The father doesn't matter
Because he is in prison for drug dealing
But that don't matter
My sister tells me I need to quit
But then the income stops
My bills don't get paid
And we lose are house
Which is what I tell her
But I can't quit
Not today
Not for awhile
