Stop look down
on me cause
meh poor
By Jacqueline Wetherill
You look down on me because I am poor.
You mock me for the clothing I wore;
Just because I am poor and cant fit in,
You make up names and
call me garbage bin.
Stop look down on me cause meh poor.
I tried so hard to be like you,
Wondering what next I should do.
I changed my talk, I changed my looks,
Yet you still treat me
like I am some crook.
Stop look down on me cause meh poor.
I am going to accept myself for who I am.
Yes, I might be poor, but here is my plan.
You see, with this brain
that God gave to me,
Perseverance to success will be the key.
Stop look down on me cause meh poor.
One day I will move from rags to riches;
There will be more than enough
to share God’s blessings.
Excuse me, no more trying
to fit in to be like you,
For I will be living in posh places too.
Stop look down on me cause meh poor.
