Rich Man Upstairs Lyrics

Yo, a dude tryna get a loan, hustlin' on the grind,

Went to the moneylender, said, "I need that shine."

He pulled up with two guarantors to back him,

One broke, one rich, you know who got the stackin'.

Told the lender, "If I default, it's cool,

Either one can pay, it's up to you."

But the lender knew the game, knew how it rolls,

Don't chase the broke man, go where the money flows.

Rich man upstairs, He got what you need,

Don't stress the poor man, just plant that seed.

When you do right, the blessings come fast,

Put your faith in the One who's got the stash.

See, the poor man can't pay, that's just facts,

Why chase the broke when the rich got stacks?

You mess with the small fry, you lose your shot,

The rich man sees it, he thinks you forgot.

He'll step back like, "Yo, that's not my biz,

If you chasin' him, then it is what it is."

But if you play smart, go to the big dawg,

You get that payback, won't take too long.

Rich man upstairs, He got what you need,

Don't stress the poor man, just plant that seed.

When you do right, the blessings come fast,

Put your faith in the One who's got the stash.

Life's a loan, we all got debts,

But it's G up top who covers the checks.

When you trust in man, you might get burned,

But trust in the Rich One, tables get turned.

He holds the fortune, He's got the plan,

When you treat folks right, He'll lend you a hand.

So when you help out someone down on their luck,

Don't come back beggin' like, "Yo, where's my buck?"

Gotta trust in the One who's got that power,

He'll come through when it's the right hour.

Keep it kind, keep it real, keep it true,

The Rich Man sees what you do.

Fortune ain't from the poor, that's a fact,

G's the one who'll pay it all back.

Rich man upstairs, He got what you need,

Don't stress the poor man, just plant that seed.

When you do right, the blessings come fast,

Put your faith in the One who's got the stash.

So next time you lend, don't trip, don't sweat,

The Rich Man's watching, He'll cover that debt.

It's all about trust, that's how we roll,

With the Rich Man upstairs, we're always whole.
