lirik lagu poor man’s place – turbulence
[intro]
no more sufferation
pains my heart, see my mother cry
it really pains my heart
oh yeah, oh yeah
[verse 1]
joy for them when christmas comes around
but on the poor man’s face wears a frown
system designed to make the poor man drown
every single t’ing we try we still going down
eh, to be poor is a crime
even when we try to shine
work everyday and we nuh get a dime
[chorus]
tell me what about the poor man’s place?
there’s no laughter on the poor man’s face
what about the poor man’s place?
there’s no laughter on the poor man’s face
[verse 2]
just look at them
only the poor man bears the pain
they tek poor people for clown
like we not a part of the human race, yeah
food a’ share but we nuh get a taste
and them tie we foot so we can’t win di race

them promise we prosperity we can’t find the trace
but remember they need our votes

[chorus]

[verse 3]
justice for them but there’s no justice for us
