My Man Rich
[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

Mi Hombre Rico
[verso uno]
Esta es una dedicación diferente
A un chico que era una inspiración diferente
Solo las personas que lo conocían saben de qué estoy hablando
Y al final de la historia, dirás sin duda
Que este no era un caso típico de vida rápida
Todo lo que ganaba, lo daba
A su mamá, papá, su hermano y su chica
Porque ellos significaban todo para él en el mundo
En Suffolk no era conocido
Pero en el este de Long Island, tenía un hogar
Llamado L.I., es donde se quedaba
Donde no había necesidad de D-con o raid
Era amigable con todos, no tenía enemigos
Estoy haciendo este disco, porque es un amigo para mí
Porque es un chico trabajador, lo acabo de decir
Por eso este disco está dedicado
A mi hombre rico
Yo yo, esto es para ti mi hombre
Dios te bendiga
[verso dos]
Déjame contarte qué pasó a principios de los 80
Cuando no estábamos pensando en conquistar a todas las chicas
Rich y yo estábamos pensando en la supervivencia del más apto
Puedes preguntarle a Keith o Kevin, porque ambos estaban con nosotros
Intentábamos conseguir un trabajo en todos lados
Incluso estuvimos en la fábrica que llaman {?}
Dondequiera que íbamos, decían que nos llamarían de vuelta
O incluso decían que no estaban contratando para desviarnos del camino
Pero Richie Rich dijo, olvídate de eso
Aunque los tiempos eran difíciles
Seguíamos buscando y buscando
Parecía que en todas partes que íbamos, los trabajos estaban ocupados
Aún así, Rich no perdió la fe
Encontró un trabajo que no era seguro
Aunque era peligroso, no cambiaría
Por eso esto está dedicado a mi hombre rico
Esto es para ti mi hombre rico
Porque sabes que vienes de lejos, vienes de lejos
Palabra, Dios te bendiga
