It's a shame when somebody shows,
It's a shame that people flaunt their wealth and status.

Diamonds and pearls to those you don't,
They display expensive objects to those who cannot afford them.

This goes out to the wealthy homes,
This message is directed at the wealthy.

That under the moonlight there's a road,
That there's a path in the dark for those struggling.

To a place for the struggling,
A place where people in need are treated humanely.

Where people treat you like a human being,
Where you are treated with dignity.

Free of racism and other things,
Without any prejudice or other discrimination.

Free from money and the imagery,
Without any focus on wealth and materialism.

Why oh why has it come to be?
Why has society come to value materialism over human empathy?

People look up to celebrities,
People idolize celebrities.

They do nothing for you and me,
Celebrities do not contribute to the well-being of society.

They should be giving it up to the community,
Celebrities should give back to the community.

And this ain't just domestic man,
This is not just a problem in one country.

This is a world wide problem and,
This is a problem that exists globally.

Still people kill for the oil ya,
People are willing to kill for oil.

Why you ask?
Because there is a demand for oil.

But stay on top says the businessman,
Businessmen are driven to maintain their position of power and wealth.

And let the world be left to strand,
They are willing to let the rest of the world suffer.

Hey next month I'll make twice the grand,
Businessmen are focused on accumulating wealth.

Things they are going just as planned,
Their plan is succeeding.

And he'll spend most of it on what he sees,
They spend their wealth on needless luxury goods.

Maybe buy something he may never need,
They indulge in purchasing unnecessary items.

See now this is the mentality,
This is the way of thinking that has led to societal issues.

Wake up call this is reality
This is a warning to society to change their way of thinking.

Yesterday I saw a man explain,
A man explained to me yesterday.

why he bought his seventh car to date,
Why he bought his seventh car.

How does it feel to live the life you like,
What does it feel like to have a life of luxury?

with millions of us left without a ride?
When so many people don't even have basic transportation.

And yet we look up to the stars and dream,
Despite our struggles, we still idealize the wealthy elite.

What's it's like to live among elite,
What it's like to live as one of the elite.

I see the future in a rut,
The future looks grim.

with the poorest of the people in the mud
With the most vulnerable members of society in dire straits.

Well here's a message Mr. Business man,
This is a message to the wealthy businessmen.

The more you make the more the gap expands,
The wealth gap widens with their accumulation of wealth.

The more you give the more the love you land,
By giving back, they can earn respect and affection.

The more you take the more we suffer man,
Their accumulation of wealth leads to the suffering of others.

But he'll spend most of it on what he sees,
They prioritize luxury goods over community support.

Maybe buy something he may never need,
They indulge in needless consumption.

See now this is the mentality,
This is the way of thinking that has led to societal issues.

Wake up call this is reality
This is a warning to society to change their way of thinking.
