I'm a subway singer in New York.

On the "r" train, I sing for

Tips.

Sometimes when I'm on the train,

There's people that don't want

To hear me sing, but, you know,

At the same time, it's making

The money.

I just have to put my pride to

The side and just do it, because

I need to be able to provide for

My children.

I lost my kids' father when they

Were very young.

It was just very devastating,

You know, at the time, so I had

No choice but to...

Me and matthew, and to do what

She has to do as a single mom,

She did it.

Fives.

Children, but now that they're

Grown, I guess it's time for me

To live out my dream.

Are ready for you.

Sing on the subway again, ever.
