It really doesn't help..
No matter how you holler..
They still keep adding
More taxes to the dollar...
They tax it before you get it..
They tax it when you spend it..
The man that's got it
Don't really wanna lend it...

Come on y'all...

I don't know how..
I'm gonna make it.. but I am..
Lord have mercy...

I don't know how I'm all
I'm gonna make it..
Woah.. but I am... Oh Yeah!
I'm gonna pick myself...
Up off of the ground
Started looking up
I'm tired of looking down..
I don't know how...
I'm going to do it.. but I am...
Ooh Lord somebody somebody, Listen...

Birth control pills...
Is a bad thing.. I used to think..
Ooh... Yeah...
But it's better
than a whole lot of homeless babies..
Crying for milk to drink..
Oh yeah..
I may give out..
But before I give up..
I'd rather try yesterday's fortune
with a coffee cup...
And I don't know how in the World
I'm going to do it but I am...
Woah Yeah...

Somebody said.. where there's a will
You know.. there's a way...
And I keep looking
Tryin' to find one ev'ry day...
They raise the tax
Then the Landlord he raises the rent..
How in the World am I ever gonna save one cent?...

My Woman is.. still wearing uh..
Last year's vest..
And every day my dollar
seems to buy less and less
And don't know how
I'm gonna make it but I am
Somebody listen...

It really doesn't help..
No matter how you holler..
They still keep adding
More taxes to the dollar...
I've been working..
Just like a dog...
Seven days a week..
Woah Yeah...

And I'm tired... eating beans..
Lord, I want some meat..
Somebody help me now..
The Rich gets richer..
The Poor gets poor..
Food goes up
And all prices say lower..
And I don't know how in the World..
I'm gonna make it
Woah Lord knows I am...
Somebody help me now..

I gotta... got..
I gotta...
Woah.. hey hey hey hey..
Somebody...
I don't know how in the World..
I'm gonna make it but I am...

Woah.. yeah.. listen...

I got babies..
Babies..
I got babies..
Lord have mercy
But no food to eat
And uh.. And my own baby.. huh..
Ain't got no shoes on her feet..
But I got to keep on keep
keep on keep on keepin' on..
I got to keep on
hey hey hey
Some kinda way..
I got to make it...
