[versus]

Life as a poor man ain't always fun
Every day a struggle just to get some
Waking up stressed, wonder how to get paid
Three kids to feed but the money's fade

Bills overdue, lights might get cut off
Rent's late again, landlord's getting tough
Job don't pay much, barely make it week to week
Can't take a break, no time for rest and sleep

People look down, don't understand my plight
Living in poverty just ain't right
But I'm still standing, can't afford to fall
What choice I got? Gotta work hard for all

The system's stacked, kept poor man down
No help around in this little town
But I'll keep fighting, ain't giving in
My kids come first, I'll get through it again

[chorus]
Universal struggles that the poor go through
Wish it was easier, me and my crew
One day I'll get my family out this mess
Till then just pray we stay blessed
[chorus]
Universal struggles that the poor go through
Wish it was easier, me and my crew
One day I'll get my family out this mess
Till then just pray we stay blessed
