Why must a poor man
Steal from the poor man
Hate on the poor man while he
Hexes the poor man, is killing the poor man

Like he ain't a poor man
Poor man
Keeps the poor man down
All of these problems, I see no solution
Without your love, poor man

Who is the real poor man?
Where has your love gone man?
Who is the real poor man?
Where has your love gone man?

Why must a poor man
Come to feel like a poor man?
Long to be a rich man, rid himself of desperation
In this material world

Who is the real poor man?
Is it the man who shows his success with objects
Or the man that thinks moneys the only objective?
Trying to raise the vibe for the whole collective

I've been a poor man and a rich man
I'm a poor man and a rich man
I'm a poor man that's a rich man

Who is the real poor man?
Where has your love gone man?
Can you not see young man
All of this devastation?

Why must a poor man
Why must a poor man
Why must a poor man
Poor man, poor man

(Poor man)
