A man reflects on growing up poor, shaped by his father's toughness and his mother's escape plan. He remembers playing Uno with missing cards, watching the Bradys, and Hurricane Hugo hitting the Carolina coast, and promises to lift his family out of poverty someday.
Miracle obsession caught in a recession mind caught in a depression you think I learned my lesson I don't, I won't, I can't I try to stop myself from going crazy it might be the way my father raised me remember fighting the neighbor kid cuz my daddy made me don't recall if I want to fight cause my mind is hazy but one thing I'll never forget is that my mama saved me took me out the trailer park and brought my ass to safety and I will be forever grateful for that lady and I'm so glad I got your jeans cause that man was lazy and I promise you mama that if I ever make it I'll move the whole family to one block like the Bradys went from sleeping on the floor to sleeping in some new clothes hit the Carolina coast like Hugo most fun I had as a kid was uno but half the cards are missing so we play and who knows.
