Spare Change Lyrics by Psyche Origami

The Standard

2005

[Intro]
"Eh, eh baby, eh, eh, eh baby please, you got a dollar or somethin?
I ain't eaten in like four days man, Anything you know I mean?"
"Get from out in front of the store man; These people don't have any change for you. Get from outta- Quit harassin all of my customers man;
Go to the other store down the block"
[Hook]
Please allow us to help you to change today
It's the kinda change that pays
In a lot of ways we're all one in the same
We all hustle for change, and the concept of this
Shouldn't come out strange
I'm talkin bout real coins, Jewels if you will
The type of change that you can't refuse if you will
The change comes from within and that's real
(That's realer than real, realer than real)
(Change, Change, Change, change)
[Verse I]
Ya, They be outside the store lookin for them handouts
You can hear the jinglin when they got the cans out
Most of them are boys who couldn't go the man route
So when I walk among 'em I become a standout
The verdicts out, I got no room for all you vagrants
Steadily accosting me when I walk the pavement
Everyday hawkin me, askin me for payment
But if I gave you 20 right now, would you save it?
That's all rhetoric though, no need for comment
But I can see your brain work cause I'm a street shaman
I talked to shelly and she broke it down easy
Hit me with the term that she calls street breezy
Believe me, it don't take much to go from being on
Top of the world to scramblin for a buck (Top of the world, bwah!)
And it's a shame people gotta live their life this way
Submersed in a beautiful decay, but hey
Please allow me to help you to change today
[Breakdown]
(I'm- I'm uh, Can you give me my-)
(Brandi what's the deal, I need to get you-)
(These guys love- love me)
(Need something- here- here you go)
[Hook]
Please allow us to help you to change today
It's the kinda change that pays
In a lot of ways we're all one in the same
We all hustle for change, and the concept of this
Shouldn't come out strange
I'm talkin bout real coins, Jewels if you will
The type of change that you can't refuse if you will
The change comes from within and that's real
(That's realer than real, that's realer than real)
(Change, Change, Change, change)
[Verse II]
Yea, But there's only so much I can spare
It's like I wanna support but sometimes it's not there
I work hard for mine, and I'm not workin for you
Do me a favor, sweep the lot while you're searchin for clues
On how to treat your vehicle right by gettin new shoes
Switch your radio to jazz cause it's stuck on blues
Get some higher grade gas and your plight could improve
And when you come up again, get some vitamins too
Usually I'm left waitin for the guilt trip
When I tell a bum I've got my own things to deal with
And I can only spare a bit of advice: If you use shampoo
You won't develop head lice
Newspaper makes a better blanket than napkins
And if your foundations built out of cardboard, then expect
One day it'll all start collapsing with no rhyme or reason
Function, form or fashion
But hey, I've got a job for you
Not sure what the commission is, but tell me what the sign
Says:
NO LOITERING
NO SOLICITING
Now get outta here
