[Arlo Maverick]They say hopeful waste, makes hopeful wantsBut in a world of excess want what you gotLike that single mother with a child that's blindWhose tired of being beat by her man all the timeSo she leaves with her son, in hopes that things willGet better in time, but feels the world's chillWelfare gives a cheque for escaping abuseBut at $1,000 will it really be of useHow do you pay rent or buy your child foodShort of working for a sex line, what work can you do?When there's no daycare for kids with disabilitiesAnd all the women's shelter is filled to capacityImagine the strength, cause momma there must beThe humility that must accompany begging for moneyStripped of all pride, but your baby's hungerGives you the strength to be just another number [Chorus 4X - Janaya Ellis]Wanty Wanty,Nuh Getty, Nuh GettyGetty GettyNuh Wanty (Oy) [Dirt Gritie] They say hopeful waste makes hopeful wantBut in a world of excess they got what you want And flaunt what you needBy making up tails to gain subsidiesLike that college student raising a seed With support from the father and family?Working just enough hours to be considered to be In the government books under poverty Add insult to injury Those with needs become less of a priorityLiving with a boyfriend in government housing A journey man who's always in an out of town when You ask how our tax dollars work At times they go to those who don't need support But feel the need to exploit the system Leaving others out in the cold to claim victim [Chorus 4X - Janaya Ellis] Wanty Wanty,Nuh Getty, Nuh GettyGetty GettyNuh Wanty (Oy)
