Its a difference that is plain to see

You had it all handed to you on a platter

How much it cost, it simply didnt matter

You had the expensive clothes and shiny rings

Everything I wished I had, you owned those things

You woke in the morning in you in your 5000 dollar suite

You placed those expensive slippers on your feet

Your butler hurried in to do your make up and hair

As you sit in your Ethan Allen blow up chair

Looking in the mirror, practicing your "im better than you" glares

As your butler brings the finest breakfast for you up stairs

You ride to school in your fancy limousine

You arrive at school, making your usual scene

At the same time, I wake in the room which I share

Getting up in my bare feet, I brush my own hair

I dont eat breakfast at home because there is no food for me

I have to go to school and eat it there, because I get it for free

My mom drives me to school in our 86 Buick Pariseen

I get out of the car and see you making your grand entrance scene

You think I dont know that im poor?

You think I dress the way I do because I want to?

I see the clothes you have

My whole outfit costs less than your shoes

But there is one think that I know for sure

You might have it all

And I just might be poor

But I will grow up

Living my life as im going through hell

But I will have the knowledge

That theres more to life than fancy clothes

Cars and CD`s

And I will fight harder

Which will make me stronger

And I wil end up having more to give
