Next time ya’ll want to tell me
’bout them people
havin’ all them babies
an’ makin’ all that money
bein’ on the government take
with all them benefits you
laugh about as you
ride in the car
Next time you want to tell me
’bout how you were afraid as
you passed the young men on the sidewalk
Next time you want to tell me about their benefits.
Show me
Drive on their street and tell me
so I can hear you better
and we can see the benefits
for ourselves
Next time you want to tell me
how you have noticed
that certain people
don’t work as hard as you
earn their way like you
love God like you
Tell someone else.
I’ve had it with you.
I’ve had it with you.
I’ve had it with me too.
It’s time I had something to say.
