[Verse 1]
Why must a poor man
Steal from the poor man?
Hate on the poor man?
While he hexes the poor man
Is killin' the poor man
Like he ain't a poor man
Poor man keeps the poor man down
All of these problems, I see no solution
Without your love, poor man

[Chorus]
Who is the real poor man?
Where has your love gone, man?
Who is the real poor man? (Who is the real poor man?)
Where has your love gone, man?

[Verse 2]
Why must a poor man
Come to feel like a poor man?
Long to be a rich man?
Rid himself of desperation
In this material world?
Who is the real poor man?
Is it the man who shows his success with objеcts
Or the man that thinks money's the only objеctive?
Tryna raise the vibe for the whole collective
I've been a poor man and a rich man
I'm a poor man and a rich man
Been a poor man, still a rich man
[Chorus]
Who is the real poor man? (Poor man)
Where has your love gone, man? (Poor man)
Can you not see, young man (Young man)
All of this devastation? (Poor man, poor man)
(Poor man)

[Outro]
Why must a poor man? (Poor man, poor man)
Why must a poor man? (Poor man, poor man)
Why must a poor man? (Poor man, poor man)
(Poor man, poor man)
(Poor man)
