[Powfu, Johnny Dukane - Letter to the Rich lyrics]
Lemonade to the Brim, Key
Sippin’ out the glass
Listening to people talk
Watching people pass, I
Never understood, why we act the way we do
Talkin bout our riches and watches
And new shoes like no one really cares
Maybe first world citizens
While other children in the world
Keep on shivering we stand and watch
Only give em what we littering
Sin inside our hearts slowly
Burning us to smithereens
Yeah, I want to move out of this country
Stuffin’ out my mouth
While these other people hungry
Sick of this me (uh) , sick and in a sea
When the kingdom finally come we
The villians on the scene, and
I don’t want to be, and neither do you
Cause we ain't doing’ our best
And you know that it’s the truth
So let's stop, and give praise to the Lord
Yesterday is in the past, and tomorrow
We’ll move forward
You Say, i'm rich and wealthy But
Surely you're unhealthy
Your pitiful, blind, poor
All of your treasures are melting
Come buy my gold and, become rich
I'll dress you in white clothes to
Cover all of your sins, cause
Godliness with Contentment is great gain
Never could accumulatin' wealth give
You a great name, the
Envy and greed, when you feel that you need
More you fall love with the Money, the
Root of all evil, our
Material desires are those of
The wanting mind
So even with more, we never feel Satisfied
The Things we buy, to pacify
The empty feelin’ inside
As if, man made things
Will help us feel alive
I realized, my religion was materialism
Not realizing God gave, so I could be a giver
It’s Not for me to live in luxury
But to live more Brotherly
To be able to give Cheerfully
When my brother Need, ain't it
Envy and greed that makes a man bust guns?
We worry bout trust funds
But we can't trust funds
Put your trust in God above
Cause it’s him who loves
Your true worth is not defined by
Dollar signs that you touch"
Now I ain’t jokin’, everybody’s broken
It can get dark
With the sin that we soaked in
So we gotta reach out, find the right path
If a brother’s falling down, then
We gotta lend a hand, uh
God is good, and we are not
Soon enough all our bodies gonna Rot
Yeah this life on earth is, not what we want
So give all you got to get
To heaven when you gone
Sippin’ out the glass
Listening to people talk
Watching people pass, I
Never understood, why we act the way we do
Talkin bout our riches and watches
And new shoes like no one really cares
Maybe first world citizens
While other children in the world
Keep on shivering we stand and watch
Only give em what we littering
Sin inside our hearts slowly
Burning us to smithereens
Yeah, I want to move out of this country
Stuffin’ out my mouth

Sick of this me (uh) , sick and in a sea
