Materialist Lyrics by Horace Andy

Midnight Rocker

0

Material comes first in this society
You can't afford a car or a house
No one knows you

A man who don't work is a drag to society
But he can't get a job to buy his food
What can he do?

Poor man
I know what you go through
You can't buy a pants or a shoe
No one knows you

Poor man
I know what you go through
But don't let your heart get carried away into vanity

A black man's pride
Is to live a good life
Material things is the first thing he see
A black man's pride
Is to live a good life
Material things is the first thing he see

And the more he achieves
Is the farther he's gone
From Jah into vanity

Poor man
I know what you go through
You can't buy a pants or a shoe
No one knows you

Poor man
I know what you go through
But don't let your heart get carried away into vanity
