lyrics

GIVE A POOR MAN A BREAK

Give the poor man a break

Verse 1 (Pavlo Kee):
Here’s a little story I got to tell
About crooked politicians that we know so well
I told y’all once, I told y’all twice,
I’mma keep tellin’ y’all till the end of the night
‘Cuz the whole world is ready to exhale
The whole world’s ready to rebel
Tell your homies on the block, hit the streets from Tunisia to Brazil
‘Cuz the rich just rob and steal (Give the poor man a break)
Most times I chill nonchalant
But it’s time to fight back like my name was Tousaint
I’m just being honest, I’m sick of the nonsense
Who roams this earth to keep up with the Joneses
‘Cuz they corrupt as hell and we know that
It ain’t hard to tell, it don’t take much to show that
Deca said, “it’s like a slap in the face”
Got the whole entire world screaming that’s the breaks

Chorus:
So just give the poor man a break
Can ya give the poor man a break
We gotta give the poor man a break
You gotta give the poor man a break

Verse 2 (Mike Wird):
A few years ago a friend of mine
Told me to fight for my rights if I'm
Gonna free my kind & see why crime
Really exists I gotta keep mind
Sharp, sharper than a gensu knife
Lift u right, up out of the shit you like
Like, baby it's a whole new world
A whole new ball game, I'll show you girl
Can't stop the rock won't stop the rock
Sucka emcees need to get off the jock
Cuz the rich get richer while the poor stay poor
So why you all worried like you Georgie pourgie
Kissed all the girls and make em all cry
In the oldest profession just to get by
While our babies stay stuck in developement stages
Navigatin thru the citys' one hell of a maze ....so just...can you?

Chorus

Verse 3 (Pavlo Kee):
They sitting back laughin’ as we go to war
And don’t care about killin’ if it’s poor on poor
Livin’ in a mansion, makin’ cheddar galore
Too buy tryin’ to be like them to settle the score
I can glamorize it and the bling I got
But when he criticized it Dr. King got shot
In the face, bitter taste that it left in the place
Hit the breaks ‘cuz we sick of the maze

Verse 4 (Mike Wird):
Enough is enough but folks don’t got much
Now the American dream just means get locked up
Perfect example of how to rob and steal
Is fractional banking, it's got us all ill
Even if it goes right over your head,
It's still in the pocket, they got rights over ya bread
Don't believe us check the I-R-S
Get more money and it might start stress

Chorus

(A-L Cuts)
