Jack of All Trades

Jack of all trades,

Master of survival,

In this world, there’s no rival,

Wake up and hustle with every fibre.

Unlike Jezebel and Delilah,

Who would call a hustler a liar?

Up at dawn, searching for ways of survival.

Caterer needed? I’m here,

Vacancy nearby? I’m there,

I can do anything? Yes, I dare,

If it’s to survive? Yes, i care.

I’m a chameleon? I agree,

I’m a lowlife? I disagree,

Different day, different job and uniform,

Against your insults, I’m as strong as a tree.

You open your mouths,

but nothing you have given me for free,

I’m a hustler to a tee,

I can proudly say,

my jobs are more than three,

And I’ll excel and survive,

in more ways than you could see.

I’m a bee, i agree,

It’s who I am, it’s me,

I rest but you can’t see,

I know everything comes at a fee,

And from poverty, I must flee.
