only see it on the streets and at the corner stops
these people wants some real money
all they do is beg and plead outside the dollar tree
thinking they're gonna get some big money
I'd like to see them spend a week living life up in a suite
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two walking in Benji or Joel's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall, they would fall (fall)
lifestyles of the poor and the non-famous
their constantly begging, constantly begging
if torn clothes are such a problem
they got no money, I sure can't solve that
did you know if you were poor then you could kill a rat
and just get two sticks and make a big fire
just as long as you can cook that fat rat
did you know if you were caught and you were smoking crack
burger king would just take you back 'cause
they wouldn't even know that you smoked a joint
I'd like to see them spend a week, livin' life up in a suite
I don't think they would survive
if they could spend a day or two livin' in Billy or Paul's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall, they would fall
lifestyles of the poor and the non-famous
their constantly begging, constantly begging
if torn clothes are such a problem
they got no money, I sure can't solve that
(long break...)
**lifestyles of the poor and the non-famous
