[Verse 1] Honesty is the best policy But they weren't referring to people like me Honesty is the best policy But they wasn't referring to people like me Rich people could say anything Because they living like queen and king Whenever your neighbour living in luxury The first man to tell you to be honest is he [Chorus] Honesty is for the rich, they can all live above board But it's onе virtue us poor people can't afford Tеmptation always knocking at your door Where the next meal coming from, you never sure That is always the case when you're poor So necessity knows no law [Verse 2] It's good to be honest, I wouldn't deny But through dishonesty plenty people get by To cheat and to lie is very, very wrong But that's the way politicians get along The amount of lie politicians tell When they dead all of them going straight to hell Before election they talking honesty But after election they practising rachifee [Chorus] Honesty is for the rich, they can all live above board But it's one virtue politicians can't afford Temptation always knocking at their door Where the next meal coming from, they never sure That is always the case when you're poor 'Cause necessity knows no law [Verse 3] Rich people who don't invest their money Is crippling the nation's economy They can assist things like good employment By simply making a small investment So whenever a poor man break open a shop The government should lock a rich man up Magistrates always penalising we But these blasted misers create dishonesty [Chorus] Honesty is for the rich, they can all live above board But it's one virtue us poor people can't afford Temptation always knocking at your door Where the next meal coming from, you never sure That is always the case when you're poor So necessity knows no law [Verse 4] All honest people catching hell While rich dishonest folks doing well All rich people does be wrong and strong But when a poor man right, he always wrong So if a poor man want to find happiness He got to learn to be dishonest Lie like hell, do some thiefing too And when you get rich, nobody honest like you [Chorus] Honesty is for the rich, they can all live above board But it's one virtue us poor people can't afford Temptation always knocking at your door Where the next meal coming from, you never sure That is always the case when you're poor So necessity knows no law
