I want everybody to listen I want
to talk about the rich and the super rich
The poor and the super poor
Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on
Let's talk about it,
talk about it, talk about it, talk about it
You said, you said, you tell 'em,
you tell 'em
The people who live on the hill
Don't have time for the ghetto, no
No they don't, wait, listen
But they make money
From the people who live
In the ghetto, yeah
Yes they do, you see them
You see them, you see them
And every time you see them
They're stylin' and profilin'
Always tryin' to get more
Hold that little man down
Why don't they,
why don't they let him live?
Ooh, let him live,
let him live I just wanna
There's a rich kid with job,
and for fun
He ain't too proud to follow
where I'm going
Yes they do
There's only 16 families
that control the whole world
I read that in a book y 'all
I said it's sixteen families that
control this whole world
People like the
Mellons, the
Gettys, the
DuPonts, the
Rockefellers,
Howard
Hughes
They've always been on the world,
can they lose?
They never lose, never lose
Just because the rich get richer
and the poor get weaker
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Talk about it, talk about it,
do you understand?
Ain't nothing wrong with being rich
Just be rich through and through
Don't get caught up in that spotlight
Please don't let money change you
There's an old friend of mine
He's doing good, real good,
matter of fact
He don't know me now
But I can take him way,
way, way, way back
Now, now,
don't forget where you come from
Don't forget where you come from
You've got to know that ain't right
For some people to have
more than enough
When you've got, you've got,
you've got
People starving, babies crying
People living just for a dollar
That's tough, tough luck
That's what they say now
I know there's got to be a better way
People living in one -room shacks
We've been on top of each
other back then
that's top, well, top love
Oh
Lord, that's what they say
I know, I know, that's gotta be
The rich, well, gotta be
The poor, well, yeah, su per well
Don't forget where you come from
Don't forget where you come from
you
