Poor Boy Down
He's a poor boy in his pocke
he's a poor boy in his shoes
he's done his tim
he's stood in lin
that boy has paid his dues
He ain't looking for a handou
he's just looking for a star
he don't hate anyon
he don't carry a gu
you can tell that kid is smart
So you can
t keep that poor boy dow
you can be unkin
you can rob him blin
but you can't keep that poor boy down
you can lie and chea
you can chain his fee
but you can't keep that poor boy down
And all down throughout the age
the kid's been treated roug
just take a loo
in any history boo
you can see that times were tough
Now we move up to the ninetie
up to the 21s
one day he'll stan
a full grown ma
and be the same as all of us
So you can't keep that poor boy dow
you can lock him u
you can break his cu
but you can't keep that poor boy down
You can fight and stea
you can drag your heel
but you can't keep that poor boy dow
You can kick his as
if the kid's got clas
you can't keep that poor boy down
Let's stop the truc
go back and pick him u
you can't keep that poor boy down
Let him go!!
