Barrington Levy – Poor Man Style Lyrics

Artist: Barrington Levy
Song: Poor Man Style

I open my business place
To make living for my wife and my child
But every time I open the shop
It’s always break down

My granny eat it out, my momma eat it out
Due to the sufferation
I’ve got to make life some other way
My granny is crying, my brother is crying

That’s the poor man style, that’s the poor man life
That’s the poor man style, poor man style
Vince Staples “When Sparks Fly’ Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified
Hear me brother, sit down in my home, I roast a breadfruit

I hear di news flash say they killed two youth
That’s the poor man style, that’s the poor man style
Couldn’t get no sugar, but Jah Jah give me power
That’s the poor man style

Couldn’t get no flour but Jah Jah give me power
But, Jah, poor man style
Couldn’t get no oil, me have fi walk couple mile
That’s the poor man style

Couldn’t get no sugar, what a great booga-wooga
It’s the poor man style
Don’t know why
That’s the poor man style

But Jah gonna open a way for me
No man don’t get too jumpy
Every man got their time
No matter what the price is, matter what the cost

We’ve got to make it
No matter what they say, we’ve gotta make it today
No matter what they say, got to make it
Sit down in my home, me a roast a breadfruit

I hear di news flash say they kill
Dem kill, I said, dem kill, I said, dem kill two youths
Oh Jah, take a little peek through my fence, see dem lie down
It’s, it’s the poor man style, oh, no, oh, no

Couldn’t get no sugar, what a great booga-wooga
In the poor man style
Couldn’t get no flour, but Jah Jah give me power
In the poor man style

Couldn’t get no oil, me have to walk couple mile
In the poor man style
Girl want these shoes in the poor man style
Jah knows i’ve got some of faith
