Everyday I come to the soup kitchen
I come to meet different people
And see different people’s reactions
And I come to get help
And I come to further my education and learning
And to understand things I can’t comprehend
But I feel that the soup kitchen is a place
For everyone to come and eat and talk about
Their problems and get help with different tutors from different schools
And I think that whoever got talent can come into the Share group
Or the FunkTASKics and give they talent that they’re feeling.
Because I feel like some people at the soup kitchen
Don’t feel they got talent because they haven’t been pushed
Or taught or got any help and I also think that it feels
Good to get off your talent around people that give you
Their attention and who want to help
But I like to do poems, and I like to rap
But I’m lookin’ forward to going to college
Because I really do want to see how it feels
To be somewhere where I thought I couldn’t accomplish
But being here at the soup kitchen has helped me
With reading and my talking things out, and working things out
The way that I feel comfortable because I wouldn’t feel comfortable
Around people that want to see me miserable
My whole life I feel like how old I can get I can still learn
Or I can still teach somebody that want my attention
Because everybody has they set-backs in they life
Because they feel like nobody want to help them
But the soup kitchen is a good place to be
Because we all are the same and have the same problems
I like it here and I want to continue on coming here
Because some of the tutors here help me
Jaime helps me, and Jay helps me when I ask him
And Jay and Jaime have support for whoever want
To take part in the FunkTASKics
Everything we do, we got to be good at it
The soup kitchen has good food and they got good people
So when you talk to people there you will get what you looking for
If you give yourself a chance
And I also feel safe here at the soup kitchen because there is a lot
To offer me and there’s a lot to offer everyone else
I wouldn’t doubt nobody
I wouldn’t doubt myself
Everybody goals are here if they want to come and get it.
