Oh, what a thing (Oh, what a thing, yeah)
Ease up, mister big shot
Lawdy sprat, I beg you
Ease up, mister big shot
Don't watch that
Now the poor man can do it, yeah
Just because of the system
ย
But they keep on struggling
'Cause the poor don't really give in
Lord knows
To be poor it is a crime
Living on nickels and dimes
ย
'Cause a living really gets to I
And the rich man still get with I
Give the poor man a black eye
Ease up, mister big shot
Lawdy sprat, I beg you
Ease up, mister big shot
Lawdy sprat, mi say fi
Ease up, mister big shot
Don't watch that (Lord knows)
Poor people feel it every day in every way
Can't see clearly through the pain
Now the aged should be protected and the blind misled
And the hungry be fed
Woah
I beg you fi ease up, mister big shot
Lawdy sprat, mi say fi
Ease up, mister big shot
Won't you, lawdy sprat (Lord)
Now you work me night and day
All I receive is a small payday (Lord)
Though my salary so skinny
Poor man just won't give in
Man, a shout to the system
So, ease up, mister big shot
Lawdy sprat, I beg you
Ease up, mister big shot
Won't you, lawdy sprat (Lord)
ย
We should all know by now
That we are all one family
No matter what color, class, race, or creed
Necessities in life we all need
Poor people feel it every day, woah
Can't see clearly along the way (Lord)
Ease up, mister big shot
