Yah said
Don't oppress
The widow, nor the poor
Nor the fatherless
Have mercy on the stranger
And don't neglect
Think no evil gainst ya brother
Please don't forget

I know it's a
Elder lady lost her husband
Now she struggling
A single mother raising kids
Who gon comfort them
The poor oppressing the poor
Is what she up against
Plus the bills due
And the rent going up again
You know the poor man
Is separated from his friend
But when you give to him
You lend to Yah
And He'll repay again
That's why I always
Keep some change
In the ride
Cause when you drive past an exit
Someone always got a sign
Don't close ya hand to the poor man
Just open wide
Undo the heavy burdens
The only way we can rise
Ain't no way
To love ya brother
And hate at the same time
Just judge true
Show compassion and mercy
And stay kind
We refused to hear
The cry of the poor
We turned aside
Closed our ears
From the prophets
That warned us in former times
So Yah turned His ears from us
And didn't hear when we cried
Scattered us through all the nations
Now our land in desolation
Like maaaaan
