|
It's a shame when somebody shows, |
|
Diamonds and pearls to those you don't, |
|
This goes out to the wealthy homes, |
|
That under the moonlight there's a road, |
|
To a place for the struggling, |
|
Where people treat you like a human being, |
|
Free of racism and other things, |
|
Free from money and the imagery, |
|
Why oh why has it come to be? |
|
People look up to celebrities, |
|
They do nothing for you and me, |
|
They should be giving it up to the community, |
|
And this ain't just domestic man, |
|
This is a world wide problem and, |
|
Still people kill for the oil ya, |
|
Why you ask? |
|
Well cause there's demand, |
|
But stay on top says the businessman, |
|
And let the world be left to strand, |
|
Hey next month |
|
I'll make twice the grand, |
|
Things they are going just as planned, |
|
And he'll spend most of it on what he sees, |
|
Maybe buy something he may never need, |
|
See now this is the mentality, |
|
Wake up call this is reality |
|
You see now this is the mentality, |
|
Wake up call this is reality |
|
Yesterday |
|
I saw a man explain, |
|
Why he bought his seventh car to date, |
|
How does it feel to live the life you like, |
|
With millions of us left without a ride? |
|
And yet we look up to the stars and dream, |
|
What's it's like to live among elite, |
|
I see the future in a rut, |
|
With the poorest of the people in the mud |
|
Well here's a message |
|
Mr. Business man, |
|
The more you make the more the gap expands, |
|
The more you give the more the love you land, |
|
The more you take the more we suffer man, |
|
But he'll spend most of it on what he sees, |
|
Maybe buy something he may never need, |
|
See now this is the mentality, |
|
Wake up call this is reality |
|
You see now this is the mentality, |
|
Wake up call this is reality |
