Two Cents to My NameA poem from the novel "The Essence of Poetry II:Gerald's Sophomore Yet Grown Poetrybook" Written by: Gerald L. Ingraham ------------------------------------ All I got now is Two cents to name, And right now, I don't feel ashamed… All I got now is Two cents to my name, My life is hard, ‘Cause I don't got you to claim… All I got now is Two cents to my name, And a man gotta man What a man gotta man… All I got now is Two cents to my name, I may work hard, I'd work harder if I had you… You may be used to the finery and stuff, And you might get so much, that it aint enough; Whatever you see you want, it's from your man, But I know I can't afford you like he can. I've been up all night thinking of what to say, And I never had to come out this way; I hope I do not hurt you at all Because this is why I did not return your call. All I got now is Two cents to name, And right now, I don't feel ashamed… All I got now is Two cents to my name, My life is hard, ‘Cause I don't got you to claim… All I got now is Two cents to my name, And a man gotta man What a man gotta man… All I got now is Two cents to my name, I may work hard, I'd work harder if I had you… How could I take you out and provide, That bothered me so bad that I almost cried; All I can give is my time and attention, I don't need money to understand and listen. Making ends meet, ‘cause no one else's there, If I lost the car, place, and job, would you care? Me, personally, I would stick and around, ‘Cause good friends hold each other down. I want to make you smile and laugh, A joy that you won't get with things you have; My goal is to beckon your call when you cry, I refuse to rest until you are happy til I die.
