The Rich Get Ahead - Gregory Porter
Lyrics by：Gregory L Porter
Composed by：Gregory L Porter
Ain't it ain't it
Ain't it funny how it go
Some get doors some get walls
Some get more than they can hold
Some get nothing at all
But what goes around
Oh
Comes back around
Oh
Tonight we open the door
And pass the blessing down
Turn it around
Turn it around
Uh
Uh
Turn it around
Yeah
Uh
She had the voice
They hid the mic
Broke down dream
Still drove all night
Bills on the table
Faith in her cup
She touched the ladder
They moved it up
They said come back
When you got fame
Then passed the crown
To the same old names
Ain't that cold
Ain't that strange
Same locked doors
Different gatekeepers change
Why do full cups overflow
While empty hands get turned away
Why do they water plastic flowers
And let real roses fade
Somebody needs one open door
Somebody needs one sign
Somebody's miracle is waiting
On somebody to be kind
The rich get ahead
While the hungry wait outside
Hey
The rich get ahead
While the gifted get denied
But we gon' turn this table
We gon' make this right
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs a light
The rich get ahead
But the hungry got soul
The rich get ahead
But the hungry won't fold
Hands up if you ever been denied
Hands up if you still got fire inside
The rich get ahead
But tonight we rise
Turn it around
Turn it around
Open the door
Let the love come down
Turn it around
Turn it around
Everybody eats
When the love comes down
Share that money
Share that shine
Share that kindness
Share that time
Turn it around
Turn it around
Everybody eats
When the love comes down
Kindness wore diamonds
And walked on by
Attention chased fame
While the faithful cried
Money ran to money
Like rivers to sea
The ones with answers
Got ignored for needs
But don't call her quiet
She carries a storm
Some fire burns hotter
Before it gets warm
When she gets a table
She won't build a wall
She'll pull up a chair
For the never called
Why do full rooms get invited
While empty hearts get left alone
Why do they praise the house on the hill
And forget who laid the stone
Somebody needs one open door
Somebody needs one sign
Somebody's miracle is waiting
On somebody to be kind
The rich get ahead
While the hungry wait outside
The rich get ahead
While the gifted get denied
But we gon' turn this table
We gon' make this right
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs a light
The rich get ahead
But the hungry got soul
The rich get ahead
But the hungry won't fold
Hands up if you ever been denied
Hands up if you still got fire inside
The rich get ahead
But tonight we rise
Don't feed the crown
And starve the seed
Don't praise the want
And miss the need
Don't bless the noise
And doubt the true
The one outside
Might carry you
One hand can turn a life around
One word can pull hope from the ground
One door can change a family line
One light can make the hidden shine
Shine
So when you get there
Reach back low
That's how real blessings grow
No silver spoon
No easy ride
Just faith in her chest
And fire inside
They told her wait
She made a lane
They gave her shade
She made it rain
They said not yet
She said watch me
They tried to lock doors
But couldn't stop keys
Now when she eats
She reaches back
Real love don't rise
And leave folks trapped
The rich get ahead
While the hungry wait outside
The rich get ahead
While the gifted get denied
But we gon' turn this table
We gon' make this right
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs a light
The rich get ahead
But the hungry got soul
The rich get ahead
But the hungry won't fold
Hands up if you ever been denied
Hands up if you still got fire inside
The rich get ahead
But tonight we rise
Turn it around
Turn it around
Open the door
Let the love come down
Turn it around
Turn it around
Everybody eats
When the love comes down
Share that money
Share that shine
Share that kindness
Share that time
Turn it around
Turn it around
Everybody eats
When the love comes down
No more dreams outside
No more gifts denied
No more waiting on the world
Tonight we rise
What goes around
Oh
Comes back around
Oh
Open the door
And pass the blessing down
Tonight we rise
Tonight we rise
Tonight we rise
