When You Have It All
You see them on the movie screen
You see them on the stage
Actors, rappers, singers and musicians
All of them making millions
Now you see them on a Rehab Show
Drunk or drugged out
Talking about their problems
Still on the screen
I think about what they have
The problems they talk about
They have NOTHING ON ME
Homeless
Broke
Disabled
But they don't put us on TV
We're arrested and put away
For the smallest of offenses
But the rich get a slap on the wrist and sent away
Whats the difference
Why aren't we all treated the same
If I just had one wish to make the change
No more begging or handouts
To finally make it on my own
To get my family back
Just for once to have it all
You see them on the stage
Actors, rappers, singers and musicians
All of them making millions
Now you see them on a Rehab Show
Drunk or drugged out
Talking about their problems
Still on the screen
I think about what they have
The problems they talk about
They have NOTHING ON ME
Homeless
Broke
Disabled
But they don't put us on TV
We're arrested and put away
For the smallest of offenses
But the rich get a slap on the wrist and sent away
Whats the difference
Why aren't we all treated the same
If I just had one wish to make the change
No more begging or handouts
To finally make it on my own
To get my family back
Just for once to have it all
