Tell me, how can we fill the gap between rich and poor How can you tell me; there’s no different between sweet and sour Put on my shoes and walk through my sea and shore Then you would feel my pain and see all the things I’ve saw Go through my head and hack inside my deeper thought Look in my heart and see the war I fought Those born to poor family are forsaken by the gods And if they wish to be rich, they must fight the odds Life is hard and never easy for those born into slums Poor children, they wish they were never born In the slum part of the world, you will only see decay Homes and gardens looking shabby; their sky is old and gray The poor walk on the ground with their barefoot on mud And the rich walk on the ground like their shoes ain’t meant for dirt And they will treat the poor like a slave; like they’re one of em property Don’t count yourself a failure if you’re born into poverty
