Forgotten Man by We the people Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you gonna realize money is the king of the land
The color of your skin doesn't matter when you got it in your hand
You're out of mind when you don't make some change
And when you're forgotten they bury your remains
I'm gonna kick, I'm gonna bite, I'm gonna go upside the old man's head and fight
I've been a POW all my life and nobody knew I was
They listed me missing in action
Then they wrote me off dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
(POW, forgotten man)
[Verse 2]
Dealing on the corner won't clear up your head
Being a cold turkey won't win ya bread
The violent side is not for you to use
No big deal, you can make your side too
You gotta kick, you gotta bite, you gotta go upside the old man's head and fight
I've been a POW all my life and nobody knew I was
They listed me missing in action
Then they wrote me off dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
(POW, forgotten woman)
Just a little understanding
That's what it's all about
Yeah, yeah
Can you dig it, can you dig it
Yeah, yeah
When you gonna realize money is the king of the land
The color of your skin doesn't matter when you got it in your hand
You're out of mind when you don't make some change
And when you're forgotten they bury your remains
I'm gonna kick, I'm gonna bite, I'm gonna go upside the old man's head and fight
I've been a POW all my life and nobody knew I was
They listed me missing in action
Then they wrote me off dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
(POW, forgotten man)
[Verse 2]
Dealing on the corner won't clear up your head
Being a cold turkey won't win ya bread
The violent side is not for you to use
No big deal, you can make your side too
You gotta kick, you gotta bite, you gotta go upside the old man's head and fight
I've been a POW all my life and nobody knew I was
They listed me missing in action
Then they wrote me off dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
(POW, forgotten woman)
Just a little understanding
That's what it's all about
Yeah, yeah
Can you dig it, can you dig it
Yeah, yeah
