verse 1
F#m
Now if I stood on a corner and asked you for two dollars
Bsus4 G# Amaj7
for a Whopper would you let your cynicism stop you?
F#m Bsus4 G# Amaj7
Would it stop you? Would it stop you?
F#m
I mean, I mean we spend nine ninety nine on Spotify
Bsus4 G# Amaj7
but hearing my stomach rumble ain't worth a dime,
F#m Bsus4 G# Amaj7
worth a dime, worth a dime?
F#m
Or if I had suit and tie maybe I'd be worth your time?
Bsus4 G# Amaj7
Only money on your mind. We all selfish
F#m
Ah, Jesus walked with the poor,
Bsus4 G# Amaj7 F#m
Are you too good for that? Kissing up to God in our
F#m
prayers to get a promotion to make more money
Bsus4 G# Amaj7
and buy more things that we don't need
F#m
We just buy to show off for the next guy
Bsus4 G# Amaj7
And still feel poor inside.
F#m
Still homeless as the person
Bsus4
that we just denied. By the way, how have you treated
G# Amaj7 F#m
the least of these? Pride and money are you
F#m
a slave to them? Cause you ain't gotta be black
Bsus4 G# Amaj7
to pick cotton off the shelf of an H&M.
