[Intro]
Am G
[Chorus]
Am
The rich man, poor man, beggar man thief
Everyone claim that dem are the chief
G
The rich man buy, the poor man's life
The poor man take away the beggar man's wife
Am
Don't cry.. my brothers
Don't cry.. my sisters
G
These tears won't change the situation
It's just a form, a form of reaction
[Verse 1]
Am
If you step on fire, fire burn you
If you play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth
G
So stand up strong, you got to know where you belong
Say the weak ones now, will soon become strong
