★ Verse 1 ★
Third world country, sunny skies
Colors bright like butterflies

There is no hope, can't satisfy
Read the Bible, no time to play
Cure the sick, gotta find a way
❲?❳
They have the fortune, us no control

Yeah, yeah
★ Verse 2 ★
Minimum wage ❲?❳ that's the price
Workin' in the sun all my got dang life
Fifty a year, that's mighty sweet
When I'm workin' in the sun all the got dang week
Standin' at the bottom of the totem pole
Carrying the weight for every got dang soul
Figure how the reaper gonna get on time (yes, God)
Reapin' all the honey, every got dang drop

★ Verse 3 ★
Saw you from the shadow when you shot the gun
Through the ghetto jungle, away you run (oh)
Livin' in the city, ain't going nowhere (ooh)
Few folks share and ain't nothin' fair (oh)
Could there be a conspiracy? (talk to me, brother, now)

Some folks say to suck it up, hey (come on, come on, come on)
Ain't got no straw, ain't got no cup (ooh)
