Living your life trying to fight the pole Speaking of rights you're a piece of the toll Taxing her body like a terrorist attack Momma's in the front, daddy's in the back Slave of an ignorant economy When you're down and out you better lean on me Daddy's going to take you out to church Speaking of life you're making matters worse 'Cause when he comes home and he's calling your name
You're running away 'cause he's laying the blame Take it all off and throw it all out Well you're down and out you better lean on me now Get on top, get on board This little lady is not a who*e She's my friend was once my pal Now she's down and out and what can she do now Take it all off and throw it all out Well you're down and out you're gonna lean on me now
