[Verse 1]
[F]I'm [C]in [F]poverty,
[C]won[F]'t you let me be?
Oh, shame and [C]poverty[F]
Got to [C]find [F]my way, overcome one day I've
just got [C]to be [F]free from shame and poverty
[C]I c[F]an't fight the [C]spir[F]it,
I won't let it get me down
Cause I'm the man of the living,
I will come [C]around[F]
Time, don't you know it's time
[C]We've [F]waited so long,
now it's [C]time[F]
And I won't take no more,
it just can't be like before
I've got to be free,
[C]fro[F]m shade and povert[C]y
[F]Oh yes, in poverty,
what you let me [C]be[F][C][F]
I've got to [C]find [F]my way to over[C]come [F]one day I've
just got to be free from shame and poverty
I'm going to
Marista, I've been waiting
so long now
[C]Marista[F]
I can't [C]stand [F]no more,
and it won't be like [C]before
[F]I have no money,
[C]no [F]shoes on my feet
[C]No [F]shirts on my [C]bed[F],
[C]I m[F]ust be on the wrong trac[C]k[F]
I can't stand poverty,
I've got to be free
I've got to be on the right [C]track[F]
There's [C]no turn[F]ing back,
I'll be on the right [C]track[F]
No shoes on my feet,
not even on my knees
What is wrong with me,
I can't say it's [C]poverty[F]
Yes, poverty, I'm living in misery, [C]yeah
[F]I've got to be free from thi[C]s
[F]shame and boredom
Time, don't you know it's time?
Been here so long now it's time
Set me [C]free[F]
Let me be your [C]man
[F]Let
shame above
[C]Let [F]me be your man
