[Verse]
Bb D# Bb
I'm looking outside of my window
G#
The view that I see is a child and mama
And the child is begging for money
Bb
Tell me why, tell me why
The woman is blind
Is she so broke the kid's dealing crime

I go to my room to turn on the TV

I sit myself down and I start laughing hard
'Cause this man he's asking for money
Bb
He says if you send me lots of cash
I'll send you stuff to make you rich fast
