lyrics

Hard Time Dignity
by Israel Joseph I

Living on the streets there ain't no work today
Nobody wants to hire, and they don't want to pay
I lay down to rest they, say be on your way
Or will kick you and we'll beat you on the ground where you lay

I don't want to be another tale
Some homeless person living in jail
I am still a human being with my dignity, my dignity

"Remain where you are and face the ground"
I don't want to be here, let me go right now
Who made you the judge and the jury and the executioner?
I don't think I care for you
So next time you see me; try to help me instead; of opening my skull with these blows to my head
I don't want to know you and I don't even care
So next time you see me; remember "what's fair is fair"

Can we build on what we had before?
Can we turn it into so much more?

Make a decision
We need a brighter vision

Living on the streets there ain't no work today
Nobody wants to hire, and they don't want to pay
I lay down to rest they say be on your way
Or will kick you and we will beat you on the ground where you lay
