Locked In Jail

I've been locked in jail for poverty
Condemned by those who corrupt society
To be poor ain't right

Mr. Jailor, man, beg you a cup of tea
And my one phone call don't forget it please
Even though inside I've got my family
And my kids haven't eaten this morning

To be poor ain't nice at all
For the saddest mess to be poor is a crime
Now it's time for us to change this concept of life
And give poor people the chance for a better life

Mr. Jailor man beg you a cup of tea
And my one phone call don't forget it please
Even though inside I've got my family
And my kids haven't eaten this morning

I've been locked away, I've been locked away for poverty
And my family haven't seen me, yes, I've been locked away
Give poor people the chance to live their life in the right way
(I've been locked in jail for poverty)
And make a better way for the youths today
'Cause I know, I know, I know there must be a better way
(Condemned by those who corrupt society)
To be poor ain't right

Give the people the chance for a better life
Yes they work so hard and still they get no bly
I'm really asking why, and which is man's to blame
