Lyrics

Material comes first in this society You can't afford a car or a house No one knows you A man who don't work is a drag to society But he can't get a job to buy his food What can he do? Poor man I know what you go through You can't buy a pants or a shoe No one knows you Poor man I know what you go through But don't let your heart get carried away into vanity A black man's pride Is to live a good life Material things is the first thing he see A black man's pride Is to live a good life Material things is the first thing he see And the more he achieves Is the farther he's gone From Jah into vanity Poor man I know what you go through You can't buy a pants or a shoe No one knows you Poor man I know what you go through But don't let your heart get carried away into vanity
