That's why my poor black brothers
Now we need to get to where
All I can see is pure rumors of war
Mama and daddy ain't got no money
Tell you sometimes we can
Still me nah gon' make me say
That's why my poor black brothers
Still me nah gon' make me say
that's why my poor black brother
Down in the kettle of aggravation,
poor man a suffer from starvation
I tell you when the hungry take their belly,
I know them will take politician money
Cause poverty is a crime,
still me nah gon' make me say no
that's why my poor black brother
still me nah gon make me say no
that's why my poor black brothers
Down in the ghetto that's where I grow,
with education that's what I do
Used to go to school and play teet -a -toe
Still me nah go make me say
That's why my poor black brothers
Still me nah go make me say
That's why my poor black brothers
I see children on the street
To beg in their daily pray
To learn the gold and the rule
I wonder who's to be blamed
Still me nah gon' make me say no
That's why my poor black brothers
Down in the ghettos of aggravation
Poor man a suffer from starvation
I tell you when the hungry take their belly,
I know them will take politician money
Cause poverty is a crime,
still me nah gon' make me say no
I saw my poor black brother
We just can't get the black
Oh, yes, but the tea is a crime
