BEN BOSTICK

PO NO MO

I ain’t tryna be rich and have a high price phone

Or have a picket fence round my perfect lawn

I don’t need no hired help to run my home

I just don’t wanna be po no mo

I don’t need to play golf at the country club

I don’t need to show off, don’t care to one up

I ain’t keeping up with no one, I don’t know the Jones

I just don’t wanna be po no mo

Oh I don’t know what I did wrong

To be oh so po for oh so long

The bible told just how it goes

God only bless the child who got his own

I don’t know what sin I’m paying fo

But I sho know what I’m praying fo

Lord I don’t wanna be po no mo

I don’t need my own scent or a clothing line

I just wanna make rent and have a Natty Light

Don’t even need no respect when I get home

I just don’t wanna be po no mo

Oh I don’t know what I did wrong

To be oh so po for oh so long

The bible told just how it goes

God only bless the child who got his own

I don’t know what sin I’m paying fo

But I sho know what I’m praying fo

Lord I don’t wanna be po no mo

I just wanna be paid right for my hard work

That’s all I’m praying fo, oh Lord oh Lord

I just don’t wanna be po no mo
