Lyrics
Haves and have nots
As long as someone's winning
that'll never stop
Haves and have nots
For all your hard work
Show me what you got
If you come from nothing
You know nothing is free
Can't shake a dollar
From a hollow tree me
Haves and have nots
To play the game
you gotta cut the heart
Haves and have nots
Imagine if money
never played a part
Lend a dollar give a dime
After all what is yours
And really is mine?
To the poets and the philosophers
Who shed the tears
To the mothers who raised us
In our tender years
To the farmer who plants the seed
Then prays for rain
To the silence of the monks
watching the world go round
Haves and have nots
When you find your purpose
Will it pay a lot
Haves and have nots
Seems everyone is looking
For their own jackpot
