“Po’ Folks” from the album Watermelon, Chicken, & Gritz, released in 2002
R. Prophet, who wrote “Po’ Folks,” said this about the song:
“It’s a state of mind. It’s not so bad being poor when you’ve got your family and God in your life and you have different values that, when it comes down to it, matter. A lot of other things really don’t matter when God is knocking at your door.”
So this song isn’t only about your economic status, but your mindset. And with a great beat and solid hook, “Po’ Folks” helps that mindset.
