My Man Rich Lyrics

[Verse One]

This is a different type of dedication

To a guy that was
a different kind of inspiration

Only people that knew him, know what I'm
talkin about

And at the end of the story, you will say without a doubt

This wasn't your typical case, of fast livin

Anything he was makin, he
was givin

To his moms, pops, his brother and his girl

Cause they,
meant, the most to him in the world

Around Suffolk he wasn't known

But in Eastern Long Island, he did have a home

Called L.I., is where
he stayed

Where there was no need for D-Con or Raid

He was cool
with everybody, he had no enemies

I'm makin this record, cause he's a
friend of me

Cause he's a hard workin kid, I've just stated

That's
why this record, is dedicated

To my man Rich



Yo yo, this is
for you my man

God bless you



[Verse Two]

Let me tell
you what happened in the early 80's

When we wasn't thinkin about gettin
all the ladies

Me and Rich was thinkin about survival of the fittest

You can ask Keith or Kevin, cause both of them were with us

We'd try
to get a job everyplace that it takes

We was even at the factory they
call {?}

Everywhere we went they said they'd call us back

Or even
said they're not hirin to throw us off track

But Richie Rich said, forget
that stuff

Even though, times was rough

We kept searchin searchin
lookin and lookin

It seems everywhere we went, the jobs was tooken

Still Rich didn't give up the faith

He found a job that wasn't safe

Even though it was dangerous, it wouldn't switch

That's why this is
dedicated to my man Rich



Yo this is to you my man Rich

Cause
you know you go way back, you go way back

Word up, God bless you
