The Poor | Jesse Welles (Song)
Content Source/Owner: Jesse Welles
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 from 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 capitals
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 only worked a little harder
If you worked a little harder, haha
If you worked a little harder, HAHA
If you worked a little harder
And you would have alot more
So the shame and the blame’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
