I’m just a poor boy x4

I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me
Poor family the only ones thinking of me
Other motherfuckers looking down on me smugly
Life in the gutter wasn’t fun cuz I’m ugly

Even snugly tucked in the best bed I’ve ever owned
Existence on a pittance always kicks me in the shin bone
Even with a job, family and a big home
Never gonna get away from poor kid syndrome

Got no money, can’t afford lunch meat
Stomach gets flummoxed hear it grumble when you’re hungry
Hand-me-down jeans with holes in the knees
Stop mistreating poverty as a disease pretty please

Anxiety rises, lord of flies over prizes
With prices too high for us to buy without disguises
One surmises a society that prioritizes profits over lives
Would realize surprised it’s become what it despises

Huh, yeah it feels real rough
When you can’t afford the groceries so you gotta sell your stuff
But you finish at the checkout and your credit’s not enough
Where the tough get going when the going gets tough

So the cuff puffs up while your plasma gets sucked
Spending Saturday morning at the blood lab’s fucked
Take the twenty dollars and you go get drunk
Cuz it’s cheaper than drinking skunk from the trunk who’da thunk

Uh, it’s difficult to fit in
With the other kids picking on the one who didn’t win
Discarded discount yard sale fashion seen as a sin
Still envision the derision no matter how many years it’s been

It’s a thin green line between haves and have nots
The poor get forgotten while the rich call shots
I’ve been so many dots on that spectrum in spots
Seems a little like life has taught us cherish what we’ve got

There’s a lotta lovely things in this world I can’t afford
And the haughty call of constant commerce cannot be ignored
Fallin toward observations that will leave you floored
It’s always on the poor one to die by the sword

While the rich one hoards all the treasure for himself
Investing into intergenerational wealth
When that capitalist manual stands haphazard on the shelf
Goes to show that constant loans are more important than your health

…Yeah I spent my adolescence
Upset about the quality and frequency of presents
Never seemed to have those nice possessions like my friends
So the emptiness inside became obsession with the trends

Fun never ends with these heroes from Hasbro
He-Man holds a glory that a poor kid rarely knows
Mistletoe jangling over paper wrapped GI Joes
Goes to show you never know how far a loving parent goes

Couldn’t imagine how expensive life was at the time
Parents scratched and climbed for every nickel and dime
comin’ home to find me and my siblings gonna whine
How we couldn’t afford to buy the latest action figure line

Head fulla thoughts that can not be bought
I now perceive the poisons in the products that I sought
I’m not trying to profit off of those that have not
Saying poverty leaves a mark that is not easily forgot
Come on

Never drop the trauma when you’re plopped into thunderdome
Resource panic tops every topic everywhere you roam
Born poor die poor life’s just a palindrome
Never gonna get away from poor kid syndrome

Couldn’t be more unlike Doug Dimmadome
Never gonna get away from poor kid syndrome
Yeah, doesn’t matter what your skin tone
Never gonna get away from poor kid syndrome
