Happy Poor

Happy poor

Isn't so happy any more

I had money before

I had all my financial needs

Some of my wants

Enough to show off

Enough to flaunt

Enough to feel fancy

Enough to feel good

But the money is gone

And I'm still here

And the money took my style

Yo dat money took my flair

The money took my nails

Dang, the money stole my hair

Did I mention I'm still here

Looking like a bum

The money took my vacations

And all my fun

The money stole the cars

The money took the house

That damn money stole my mahogony bed head

Shoot!the money stole my designer couch

The money took my Jordans

The money took my expensive clothes

The money they worked so hard for

Was gone in a minute

I'm just glad the money didn't take my soul.
