Description neato:

and they ask me, how can they just walk on by
look me in my eye, can't tell em the reason why - Hi.
ain't even in the vocabulary when they speak, to the weak
they only speak of em tragically - magically,
money ain't a thang if that means you on the street hagglin.
once upon a time, used to wish for better days
watchin as the dreams crumble, gotta pave my own way
i know i gotta good life, but don't think i be strayin from the truth,
ruth- less is sometimes more, open the door,
stranger lookin at me.. did i seen you before?
beggin for a dollar cause he couldn't be a scholar
daddy never gave a damn, mama tryna make ammends
but she can't so she live up, give up,
"son you're on your own, betta pack your shit up"
you askin for a dollar, it ain't right, so i holla to my God,
how can this be? my brother, he- he ain't never seen..
the green, they say the other side is so i tell him,
"my brother you, i know you never meant to choose to lose
in the eyes of the society,
let me spend a day in ya shoes cause you deserve it,
take my clothes and my shoes because you worth it-
Just as much as i do, you do too, let me fix you proper
because you worth far more than dollar,
let me fix you a meal, one from my heart,
ain't gotta make a deal, take the clothes off my back
because i love you, can't just walk on by
because it ain't right to think that im above you"
always say how the poor is a nuissance, but -
the rich man ain't always gon be rich
when the judgment day comes let em walk the bridge,
but don't you worry bout a thing when you cross, i won't let you fall,
because ill tell em that i dont walk on by,
i dedicate my life to making them the apple of my eye.

you reply:

T.I keeps tellin himself, he's livin the good life,
wit fifty hood wives, T-Pain and kanye gon go switch the style up,
but who they hatin are they slated to sit and watch the money pile up?
is we possibly actin through snobbery
our lives is the dream lottery to those livin in poverty
to us its just a novelty and we improperly
treat other's lives without somberly regarding
that the pavement is their shared ownership of public property
there's no humanity
just commodity
the poor is gettin poorer while the rich commit fraud and robbery
the economy it suffers from moral sodomy and a lobotomy from humanity
its insanity
we replace the cost of life with vanity
we pay the cost to save the manatees
when we can't even save the man on the street.
homeless in the first-world and can't even get five dollars
while the upper middle class keeps whitening collars
modern-day cinderellas come from rags to ballers,
generation blind to knowledge,
they look up and they follow,
no apology to the masses, we go chasin that dollar,
fast forward to the top, we don't press rewind,
we say "its your own damn fault you got left behind"
