Intro: A lot of folks think if you got a few dollars you got it made They think that's all there is They don't see everything that happened before that They just see you right now, there's more to it, a lot more Chorus: They say a rich man, he aint got no problems He's got all he's wanted, never has to borrow but he'll never see tomorrow If everydays the same he works so much he never leaves his office most days They say a poor man, he's got all the problems Everything is borrowed and he's gotta work tommorow But you'll never see the sorrow or tears upon his face He's always got a family and a dream he'll always chase They say a rich man, a poor man, together they are one in the same We got one full life and we better go live it like we're livin like we're dying today Verse 1: I guess they gotta divide us so we get conquered and fall But we could stand among each other and not bicker at all Imagine that, imagine life without a system that's against us Designed to make us hate each other more than the resistance They mask up and they ask if we've finally had enough We stand up to fight back and they turn the pressure up An attack on independence if you choose to press your luck So don't be wise, believe the lies and you can have another cup I'm askin why's there's upper class and lower class and middle And why's a credit score the answer to the social riddle See rich or poor it aint no more different for the sides We're all inside this hamster wheel just fightin to survive See I wake up the same as you and you the same as I So why's all this fightin for position in the line We'll finish all the same when the shovel hits the dirt Cuz one thing God will never ask is what the fucks your net worth Chorus: They say a rich man, he aint got no problems He's got all he's wanted, never has to borrow but he'll never see tomorrow If everydays the same he works so much he never leaves his office most days They say a poor man, he's got all the problems Everything is borrowed and he's gotta work tommorow But you'll never see the sorrow or tears upon his face He's always got a family and a dream he'll always chase They say a rich man, a poor man, together they are one in the same We got one full life and we better go live it like we're livin like we're dying today Verse 2: It’s been a while since I looked at a price tag I Must admit How far We came from paint shipping off the walls I wont forget How I begged, prayed cried and even grinded until it hurt So I could never let these shiney things determine my worth Not long ago There was a time That I believed if only I got my hands on 100grand none of my problems Could hold me But I’ve long since cleared that hurdle the trophy’s bologna Pull up a chair and let me tell u the story homie. The very day I left treatment see I went straight to the rooms I asked for phone numbers and help 90 days flew by soon I showed up every day I was the hardest worker in sight took months & every cent I made to cover the checks I used to write. I undid all that I could do but the stigma remained I held my head up in disgrace I marched straight through the Pain Came out the other side shiny brother please don’t forget That Most rich men are poor men that were just too stubborn to quit Chorus They say a rich man, he aint got no problems He's got all he's wanted, never has to borrow but he'll never see tomorrow If everydays the same he works so much he never leaves his office most days They say a poor man, he's got all the problems Everything is borrowed and he's gotta work tommorow But you'll never see the sorrow or tears upon his face He's always got a family and a dream he'll always chase They say a rich man, a poor man, together they are one in the same
