I open my business place
To make living for my wife and my child
For evertyime I open the shop
It's always

My granny eat it out my momma eat it out due to the sufferation
I've got to make life some other way
My granny is crying my brother is crying

That's a poor man style
That's a poor man life
That's the poor man style
Poor man style

Any problem sitting in my home I roast up food
I hear news flash saying they killed two youths
That's the poor man style
That's the poor man style

Couldn't get no shoes I wish jah jah give me more
That's the poor man style
Couldn't get no flow I wish jah jah give me more
Such a poor man style
Couldn't get no, a few walk couple miles

That's the poor man style
Couldn't get no,.
That's the poor man style
Don't know why whoo

That's the poor man style
But jah gonna open a way for me
No man don't get two,
Every man got their chance
No matter what the price is,
No matter what the cost
We got make it
No matter what they say we gotta make it today
No matter what they say we've got make it
Sitting in my home

I hear the news flash say they kill...
Oh jah, take a little picture my friends see them lie down
It's it's the poor man style
Oh no oh no
In the poor man style
But jah jah give me more
Couldn't get no walk a couple miles
Girl wants these shoes in the poor man style
