Poor Man Lyrics - Singles - Souljahz

You don't know me, look into my eyes 

You don't trust me, you'd rather die 

Then to take my hand, lead me from this land 

Of destruction and poverty, why don't you understand? 

You don't see me, look into my soul 

Can't believe me, I have nothing to show 

But my legs and my arms and my feet and my ears 

And my eyes and my hands, can't you see, I'm a man? 

I am the poor man on the street and to the rich man 

I'm a sinner, I'm a beggar and I'm a freak 

Everyday you all just pass me by, can't you see me? 

Please don't deny that I'm alive 

Aye, yo, I roam all day and night alone 

This cold pavement is my home away from home 

Where I spend it, don't matter none 

'Cause I'm left stranded but not the only one 

'Cause there's a whole community of them 

And me's that you stare at like we are the enemy and I swear 

I don't mean no harm, I just wanna walk with ya 

Don't mean no harm, I just wanna talk with ya 

Tell me your name, I'll tell you mine 

How you doin' today sir, I'm doin' fine 

Now tell me, how that seem so hard 

Easy to forget about me, when you forgot about God 

So now I lay me down to sleep 

I pray, dear God my soul You keep 

And if I die before I wake 

I pray, dear Lord my soul You take, You take 

I am the poor man on the street and to the rich man 

I'm a sinner, I'm a beggar and I'm a freak 

Everyday you all just pass me by, can't you see me? 

Please don't deny that I'm alive 

Listen, it's a hard road and it's a hard game 

To live the life of the man that has no name 

And you point your fingers and laugh 

Did you ever think where this man takes a bath? 

Did you ever think when you called him a slob? 

That it might be you in a year with no job 

Yeah, he was livin' day to day a normal life just like yours 

A job, house and a normal wife, just like yours 

But never did he think or comprehend what was ahead 

His stock dropped to zero, now he's better off dead 

Then goes the house, back accounts and the Benz 

Just when he needed 'em them the most, there goes his friends 

Suicidal thoughts as the countdown begins 

Puts the nine to his head it all comes to an end 

About to pull the trigger as he takes his last breath 

He remembers when he dies his kids inherit his debt 

There's nothin' left, nowhere to run, 

Puts down the gun, puts out his hand 

Begs you for a dollar and you deny him again 

Look him in the eye and deny him again, his name is poor man 

You say you love God, but God says feed him and He'll feed me 

So why deny me of the very thing I need 

Don't want your money, no, at least have the decency 

To look me in the eyes and not deny that I'm alive 

He is the poor man on the street and to the rich man 

He's a sinner, he's a beggar and he's a freak 

Everyday you all just pass him by, can't you see him? 

Please don't deny that he's alive 

Please don't deny that he's alive 

Please don't deny that he's alive 

Please don't deny that he's alive 

Please don't deny that he's alive
