Richman, Poorman Lyrics - Singles - The Gift Of Gab

He wanders and roams through the streets and resides in an abandoned home 

Panhandles for dough standin in the chow line with a stench on his clothes 

And he travels in a boxcar 

Used to dream about livin like a rock star 

And he carries no pass 

Where he jots art down to a piece time passin' as his thoughts form 

But he smiles as he strolls 

He appreciates the sunlight shinin' 

The glow of the moon 

Every breath that he takes is a gift 

Takin' in every place that he roams as anew 

Wait to see where his freedom lies 

Funny thing you can see freedom in his eyes 

Give him shelter, food, clothing 

And he feels like he's rich 

Cause he knows it's a blessing just to be alive

(We are the one to enter light)? 

(Please we all don't argue this life)? 

He's got everything in life 

Any man could want, could buy 

Anything in sight 

He takes trips with his wife 

Far away destinations 

To cities that he likes 

He owns buildings and property 

Expensive cars 

And he ain't about modesty 

Designer suits and the diamonds on his watches be 

Shinin' so bright they be blindin' the eyes if you see 'em 

But not everything you spot 

Is as it seems to be 

Inside there's a dark side 

When he screams and he shouts 

And his wife wears her shades 

To hide away her dark eyes 

And he hardly ever smiles 

And he's so cold 

Read his pupils 

You would swear he has no soul 

All his friends 

Are the dead presidents 

And he's dead like them 

Cause his spirit is corroding

(We are the one to enter light)? 

(Please we all don't argue this life)? 

I guess everyone would ride in a Benz 

Rather than a bucket 

Anyone reside 

In a crib nestled in the hill 

And just to get by 

In a studio apartment 

And live a better live 

But don't all cars get you there? 

And don't all shelter keep the rain from in your hair? 

And ain't lobster and tuna both protein? 

And is the price of your shoe a protection fee? 

And ain't it all just for the next man to see 

And can you take it all with you when your spirit leaves 

And when you're gone 

Will the people all remember what you had 

Rather than who you were when you're mentioned 

See?
