How Can A Poor Boy?
Had my congregation, had my flock
When I was a shepherd of men
Chased the wild goose, chased the pot of gold
Chased the rainbows end
How can a poor boy deliver this message to you?
How can a poor boy? You dont believe anything thats true
Had my rise, had my downfall
Now Im gonna rise up again
Had my degrees, my initiations
Not speaking to the profane
How can a poor boy get this message to you?
How can a poor boy when you dont believe a thing thats true?
Ive been anointed, been appointed
Even been magnified
Spied a chapel all of gold
The priest was laying down with the swine
How can a poor boy get a little message to you?
How can a poor boy when you dont believe anything is true?
How can a poor boy get this message through to you?
How can a poor boy when you dont believe a single thing is true?
Watch the illusion of false security
Play of the shadows that move
Tell me what evil lurks in the hearts of men
Only the shadow knows
How can a poor boy get this message to you?
How can a poor boy when you dont believe a thing thats true, for you
When you dont believe a thing, nothing thats true for you
How can a poor boy ever get next to you?
