The Poor

If you worked a little harder Then you’d have alot more So the blame and the shame’s on you For being so damn poor

It ain’t the price gouging And it ain’t the inflation It ain’t everyone above ya tryna make a buck off ya And screwin the whole congregation

I had that reduced lunch I had the benefit cards It never occurred to me to blame my family For life being so damn hard

I shoulda payed attention Back when I was in school Then I could figure up the tax I would know alotta facts I missed the class where they taught the rules

I was memorizing capitols I was in the spelling bee I musta skipped the part where they taught the art Of private equity

I was selling chocolate bars I had a disorder I was cuttin up a frog, got lost in the fog Learnin how to play recorder

If you worked a little harder

If you worked a little harder, haha If you worked a little harder, HAHA

If you worked a little harder You would have alot more So the blame and the shame’s on you For being so damn poor

It ain’t the banks And it ain’t the taxes It ain’t the pay day loans and the high rent homes And predatory fees and practices

Wave yer dumb flag Whatever it means But you should ask yourself: when it comes to health Are the poor really all that free?

If you worked a little harder, haha If you worked a little harder, haha

If you worked a little harder You’d have alot more So the blame and the shame’s on you For being so damn poor
