This is my new song for our stuggle. If you worked a little harder,,,
If you worked a little harder
Then youd have a lot more
So the blame and the shames on you
For being so damn poor
[Post-Chorus]
It aint the price gouging
And it aint the inflation
It aint everyone above ya tryna make a buck from ya
And screwin' the whole congregation
[Verse 1]
I had that reduced lunch
I had the benefit cards
It never occurred to me to blame my family
For life being so damn hard
I should've paid attention
Back when I was in school
Then I could figure up the tax
I would know a lot of facts
I missed thе class where they taught thе rules
[Verse 2]
I was memorizing capitols
I was in the spelling bee
I must've missed the part
Where they taught the art
Of private equity
I was selling chocolate bars
I had a disorder
I was cuttin' up a frog
Got lost in the fog
Learnin' how to play a recorder
[Chorus]
If you only worked a little harder
If you worked a little harder, ah-ah
If you worked a little harder, ah, ah-ah
If you worked a little harder
Then you'd have a lot more
So the blame and the shames on you
For being so damn poor
&t=14s
[Post-Chorus]
It aint the banks
And it aint the taxes
It aint the pay day loans and the high rent homes
And predatory fees and practices
[Verse 3]
Wave your dumb flag
Whatever it means
But you should ask yourself
When it comes to health
Are the poor really all that free?
[Chorus]
If you worked a little harder
If you worked a little harder, ah-ah
If you worked a little harder, ah, ah-ah
If you worked a little harder
Then youd have a lot more
So the blame and the shames on you
For being so damn poor, yeah
