| [Verse 1] | |
| I open my business place | |
| To make living for my wife and my child | |
| But every time I open the shop | |
| It's always break down | |
| My granny eat it out, my momma eat it out | |
| Due to the sufferation | |
| I've got to make life some other way | |
| My granny is crying, my brother is crying | |
| That's the poor man style, that's the poor man life | |
| That's the poor man style, poor man style | |
| [Verse 2] | |
| Hear me brother, sit down in my home, I roast a breadfruit | |
| I hear di news flash say they killed two youth | |
| That's the poor man style, that's the poor man style | |
| Couldn't get no sugar, but Jah Jah give me power | |
| That's the poor man style | |
| Couldn't get no flour but Jah Jah give me power | |
| But, Jah, poor man style | |
| Couldn't get no oil, me have fi walk couple mile | |
| That's the poor man style | |
| Couldn't get no sugar, what a great booga-wooga | |
| It's the poor man style | |
| Don't know why | |
| That's the poor man style | |
| [Verse 3] | |
| But Jah gonna open a way for me | |
| No man don't get too jumpy | |
| Every man got their time | |
| No matter what the price is, matter what the cost | |
| We've got to make it | |
| No matter what they say, we've gotta make it today | |
| No matter what they say, got to make it | |
| Sit down in my home, me a roast a breadfruit | |
| I hear di news flash say they kill | |
| Dem kill, I said, dem kill, I said, dem kill two youths | |
| Oh Jah, take a little peek through my fence, see dem lie down | |
| It's, it's the poor man style, oh, no, oh, no | |
| [Bridge] | |
| Couldn't get no sugar, what a great booga-wooga | |
| In the poor man style | |
| Couldn't get no flour, but Jah Jah give me power | |
| In the poor man style | |
| Couldn't get no oil, me have to walk couple mile | |
| In the poor man style | |
| [Outro] | |
| Girl want these shoes in the poor man style | |
| Jah knows i've got some of faith |
