|
This goes out to the rich and poor |
|
I stand as a broken man |
|
Before we shake |
|
I shoulda let you know |
|
My hand, it's a dirty hand |
|
The place |
|
I live ain't called "Easy Street" |
|
Our house is a weakened sheet |
|
So this goes out to my strugglin' peeps |
|
I have a dream we get out this week |
|
New York, |
|
L.A. say a prayer for me |
|

|

|
Queen's City, |
|

|
I want to give my peace away |
|
To the many that drives the |
|
Escalade Cause he knows that money don't buy a home |
|
It takes a wife and kids where love is grown |
|
I think I'm really tired of these washed up plans |
|
To be the kind of |
|
Thug and all the war-street fam' |
|
It takes a whole lot of guts to hold onto your green |
|
When there are dead banks plus political swing |
|
I think it's 'bout time we get people in the |
|
House Who want to write "game" on the naysayer's mouth |
|
If you got the money then you understand me partly |
|
And if you're plain broke well, then, "Welcome to the party!" |
|
This goes out to the rich and poor |
|
I stand as a broken man |
|
Before we shake |
|
I shoulda let you know |
|
My hand, it's a dirty hand |
|

|
I want to give five-hundred cups |
|
Of karma to the homeless on the block |
|
Next week lets make it half a mil' |
|
But they say my day dreams aren't for real |
|
Can you tell me a better way to make dreams? |
|
I know we got a world full of over-rated schemes |
|
I've watched a lot of people get bit then break |
|
Stuck up in the system with locks on their gate |
|
I know a lot of people who can sing this song |
|
Cause I wrote this for all those who don't belong |
|
I say we form a choir and take it to the streets |
|
And let the world know we gettin out this week (Dream, dream, dream boy, dream) (Dream, dream, dream girl, dream) |
|
If I get down |
|
I'll sing |
|
If I get scared |
|
I'll yell |
|
Well make no mistake about this |
|
I'm comin out of here |
|
This goes out to the rich and poor |
|
I stand as a broken man |
|
Before we shake |
|
I shoulda let you know |
|
My hand, it's a dirty hand |
|
