Poor Man Style

(album: Poor Man Style - 1982)

I open my business place
To make living for my wife and my child
But every time I open the shop

My granny eat it out my momma eat it out due to the sufferation
Ive got to make life some other way
My granny is crying my brother is crying
Thats a poor man style
Thats a poor man life

Poor man style
Hear me brother sit down in my home I roast breadfruit
I hear news flash saying they killed two youths
Thats the poor man style
