Materialist Songtext
von Horace Andy

Material comes first in this society
You can′t afford a car and a house everyone knows you
A man who don't work is a drag to society
But he can′t get a job to buy his food what must he do?
Poor man I know what you go through
You can't buy a pants or a shoe no one knows you
Poor man I know what you go through
But don't let your heart get carried away into vanity
A black man′s pride is to live a good life
Material is the first thing he sees
And the more he achieves is the farther he′s gone
From God into vanity
Poor man I know what you go through
You can't buy a pants or a shoe no one knows you
Poor man I know what you go through
But don′t let your heart get carried away into vanity
A black man's pride is to live a good life
Material is the first thing he sees
And the more he achieves is the farther he′s gone
From God into vanity


Poor man I know what you go through
You can't buy a pants or a shoe no one knows you
Poor man I know what you go through
But don′t let your heart get carried away into vanity
