Gift Of Gab - Rich Man Poor Man lyrics

Oh baby, Oh baby... Oh baby, Oh baby, Oh baby, Oh baby... [Verse 1] He wanders and roams through the streets and resides in an abandoned home Panhandles for dough standin' in the chow line with a stench on his clothes And he travels in a boxcar Used to dream about livin' like a rock star And he carries no pa** Where he jots art down to a piece time pa**in' as his thoughts form But he smiles as he strolls He appreciates the sunlight shinin' The glow of the moon Every breath that he takes is a gift Takin' in every place that he roams as anew Wait to see where his freedom lies Funny thing you can see freedom in his eyes Give him shelter, food, clothing And he feels like he's rich 'Cause he knows it's a blessing just to be alive [Hook] We are the one to enter light (Oh baby, Oh baby...) Please we all don't argue this life (Oh baby, Oh baby...) [Verse 2] He's got everything in life Any man could want, could buy Anything in sight He takes trips with his wife Far away destinations To cities that he likes He owns buildings and property Expensive cars And he ain't about modesty Designer suits and the diamonds on his watches be Shinin' so bright they be blindin' the eyes if you see 'em But not everything you spot Is as it seems to be Inside there's a dark side When he screams and he shouts And his wife wears her shades To hide away her dark eyes And he hardly ever smiles And he's so cold Read his pupils You would swear he has no soul All his friends Are the dead presidents And he's dead like them 'Cause his spirit is corroding [Hook] We are the one to enter light (Oh baby, Oh baby...) Please we all don't argue this life (Oh baby, Oh baby...) [Verse 3] I guess everyone would ride in a Benz Rather than a bucket Anyone reside In a crib nestled in the hill And just to get by In a studio apartment And live a better live But don't all cars get you there? And don't all shelter keep the rain from in your hair? And ain't lobster and tuna both protein? And is the price of your shoe a protection fee? And ain't it all just for the next man to see And can you take it all with you when your spirit leaves And when you're gone Will the people all remember what you had Rather than who you were when you're mentioned See? [Hook] We are the one to enter light (Oh baby, Oh baby...) Please we all don't argue this life (Oh baby, Oh baby...) (Oh baby... Oh baby...)
