aktivist (rap) - poor man's thoughts lyrics
[verse 1]
you should listen to a poor man thoughts
while he’s sittin’ in his shirt and shorts
in december and his dog wants warmth
would you listen or just walk on more?
while he’s thinking bout his kids and wife
the one’s who he lost when his car flipped twice
‘cos he swerved on his ice, slid across the m5
you should listen, ‘cos trauma is a poor mans vice
he hasn’t seen the inside of a prison cell
never done drugs, and he’d never sell
cannot go to heaven cos he’s livin’ h+ll
if this was america he would shoot himself
but who could tell this thoughts in his mind
after everything he lost coulda threw him a line
you could choose to realise that your ignorant mind
has cemented a lie between humankind
we were all born equal, but few survive
the truth looks evil to stupid eyes
you chew these lies, you choose these lies
‘cos you’d rather hear that those deprived
you should listen to a poor mans thoughts
what he wants versus what he’s got
just to talk nurses wounds and rots
would you do it when the music stops?
[hook]
you should listen to a poor mans thoughts
would you do it when the music stops?
you should listen to a poor mans thoughts
would you do it when the music stops?
[verse 2]
you don’t listen to the poor men’s thoughts
you cover your ears when they’re near your doors
you fear they’ll stop you when near the shops
and ask you to listen, while they fear you’ll walk
you can shed a tear home while you talk to your wife
about hearing him moan, and you couldn’t do nothing
‘cos you didn’t have cash, looking down on your phone
peering down at your apps
i was raised asked “penny for your thoughts”
you couldn’t even give a penny to his dog
couldn’t even listen when he’s yelling more and more
couldn’t even help him when he’s tellin’ you of wars
that he fought for your safety, he’s more ignored lately
talks of more fear, his thoughts get more flakey
you still don’t listen though, still don’t hear him
still don’t notice when he’s gone next evening
[hook]
you should listen to a poor mans thoughts
would you do it when the music stops?
you should listen to a poor mans thoughts
would you do it when the music stops?
