Stop Being Poor
This one goes out
To all my poors out there
I know you’re down on your luck
But someone once told me
Being poor is a choice, so stop!
Stop being poor
Stop being poor
Let the wealth trickle down
Let the money hit the floor
If you are a poor person
Then just go out
And find a job
If you can’t secure a job
Then go to college
Don’t be a blob
If you can’t afford tuition
Then try to get employed again
And if you still can’t get a job
Go work for your rich uncle then
Just stop being poor!
Stop being poor
Let the wealth trickle down
Let the money hit the floor
If you have no insurance, then get some
You’ll save money
And if you have medical debt
Then call your provider, honey
If you can’t get on a plan
You’ll have to pay out-of-pocket
You shouldn’t have gotten sick at all
If I’m just being honest
Stop being poor
Stop being poor
Let the wealth trickle down
Let the money hit the floor
If you are a homeless guy
Then why not just go find a home?
And if you can’t buy at this time
Then go to the bank and get a loan
If the bank won’t lend you money
Then get a hotel room if need be
And if the Ritz is full, next time
Don’t wait to book your rezzie
Don’t settle for lower class
Please be a tad ambitious
And if you’ve got debt up the ass
Just fill for bankruptcy bitches
You guys don’t want handouts
You want handbags from Chanel
The stock market could not be higher
So liquify and sell!
Being poor is a choice
Inequality is a myth
Cycle of poverty is a myth
The middle class it exists
So stop being poor
Just stop being poor
Stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop being poor
Stop being poor
Stop being poor
Let the wealth trickle down
Let the money hit the floor
Stop being poor
Stop being poor
Let the wealth trickle down
Let the money hit the floor
Stop
My uncle David actually wasn’t born rich
So I don’t feel like he should be criticized here
I feel like there’s some sort of like
Satirical lense to this song
But I don’t think it’s fair
Because even though my Uncle David is...
Stop being poor
