“Over heard in Flint"

Im a poor
Waiting for my water

I need formula 
for my daughter

Doctor said
Can't take a shower 
Some legionaire in my lung
From the mist it was sprung

I don't under stead 
what that doctor said 
But I can't get it out of
My head

I'm a poor
Waiting for my check
I hope I have enough 
to buy water n stuff

Can't even afford 
the food I need
Now I need to buy water--please

God I swear this is hard
What am I to do
I wish I knew
Do you?

Son get away from there
I told you we gotta drink
Bottle water here

I'm a poor!!
Mister are you there
Did you hear
What I said?

Hello?

Hello?
