Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yo, I'm posted on the corner with my hand out wide
Ain't nobody got money, man, I swallowed my pride
Used to have dreams, now I'm counting spare change
Life flipped the script, everything done rearranged
Cardboard sign, "anything helps" in black marker
Days getting colder, nights getting darker
People walk past like I'm invisible, ghost
The ones who had less always give the most
[Hook]
Ain't nobody got money, no money (no money!)
Begging on the street, trying to get something from somebody
Ain't nobody got money, no money (no money!)
Empty pockets, empty plates, this life ain't funny
Ain't nobody got money, no money
Ain't nobody got money, no money
[Verse 2]
Remember when I had a job, had a place to stay?
One bad break and it all slipped away
Now I'm out here hustling for a dollar or two
Wondering if tomorrow I'ma make it through
See the suits pass by in their fancy clothes
They don't know my struggle, don't know where it goes
Every quarter counts when you're living this way
Just trying to survive another day
[Bridge]
Rain or shine, I'm grinding on this pavement
Medical bills turned into enslavement
Lost my family, lost my home, lost my way
But I'm still breathing, fighting for another day
Society forgot about the ones like me
Fallen through the cracks of the American dream
But my story ain't over, I'm writing new chapters
Even when the world treats me like I don't matter
[Verse 3]
Met a brother yesterday, same situation
We shared stories 'bout our desperation
He said "keep your faith, homie, things gon' change"
But when your stomach's empty, hope feels strange
I see the shelters full, no room at the inn
Winter's coming fast, cold seeping through my skin
But I keep pushing forward, what else can I do?
If you walked in my shoes, you'd be begging too
[Hook]
Ain't nobody got money, no money (no money!)
Begging on the street, trying to get something from somebody
Ain't nobody got money, no money (no money!)
Empty pockets, empty plates, this life ain't funny
Ain't nobody got money, no money
Ain't nobody got money, no money
[Verse 4]
Some days I get lucky, someone stops and talks
Treats me like a human, not just sidewalk props
They share their sandwich, maybe buy me coffee
Those small acts of kindness mean the world to me
I ain't asking for a mansion or a fancy ride
Just enough to eat and somewhere warm inside
This concrete jungle's rough when you're on your own
Every street corner becomes your temporary home
[Final Hook]
Ain't nobody got money, no money (no money!)
But we still got heart, still got our story
Ain't nobody got money, no money (no money!)
One day we'll rise up, reclaim our glory
Ain't nobody got money, no money
But we ain't giving up, no money
[Outro]
Yeah, I keep my head up, still got my dignity
One day I'ma rise up from this misery
To everyone struggling out here on these streets
Keep fighting, keep hoping, don't accept defeat
We're more than our circumstances, more than what they see
Ain't nobody got money, but we got our humanity.
