My momma worked hard She worked hard for herself Cleaning up big houses Keeping dust up off the shelf She never made much more Than enough to keep afloat She kept our heads above the water With a hole in our boat I got me a job The only job that I could find At a cabin rental business Way out in the pines Five dollars an hour All the money that I earned And the rich get rich By stepping on the poor was what I learned [Chorus] Well, maybe Im dirt It hurts to get stepped on Spit in the face Drug to the ground And as much as it hurts Ive always kept on Strong as a rock When Im getting kicked around I come from a family That was full of mountain men And I went in to the city And I got robbed with a pen He was a smooth talking snake Slithered out of New York Town If I had known that he was rotten I would had cut him down He worked my fingers to the bone And I never saw a cent And now Ive got nothing to show For all the time I spent And evil rules the world And soon we all get burnd And the rich get rich By stepping on the poor was what I learned [Chorus] Ive made it over that mountain I have crossed the deep blue sea And I stepped out of the wilderness When Jesus set me free And I would not make it out of life If it wasnt for the Lord And the rich keep getting rich By stepping on the poor [Chorus 2x]
rich, stepping, worked, poor, stepped
