    The genius of this song is overwhelming. I’m not sure if it’s Crystal Waters’s haunting vocals that bring awareness to the less fortunate or it’s that incredible crawling bass line. The way the song balances lyrics with singable melody and the way the drop offs round out the composition is perfection.

      Crystal waters said in her live interview she remembers an older homeless lady singing .
      She remembers when she was a kid , that it was a homeless lady always singing while asking for change in New Jersey .
      That's why says constantly repeats the chorus .
      she remembers her everyday life in New Jersey.
      It's a timeless classic from.my high years back in year : 1991.
      Crystal water is the daughter of Legendary: jazz musician Junior waters .

      Except it was truly appreciated - but in it's own time, especially at clubs. The fact that it's so old now (came out in 1990) means that most younger people don't know about it. Which is why later musicians like some rappers tried to take advantage of this fact and shamelessly tried to incorporate bits of the song in to their own.

    It’s inspired by a true life story, homeless lady in DC. Found this in an article
    “I was in Washington, D.C. and she used to stand in front of the Mayflower Hotel on Connecticut Avenue. She was dressed all in black and a full face of makeup, singing gospel songs, and I used to walk by her like once a week. I'd be like, 'There's nothing wrong with her, she needs to go get a job.' I had a really bad attitude about her. And then the local city paper did an article on her and she said she had just lost her job in retail and she feels like if she was going to ask someone for money she could at least be presentable and look presentable.
    The story changed my whole attitude about homelessness, how it could have been anybody. Last week she had a job, this week she didn't. She was just like you and me - like what I said in the song. So, that whole incident really changed my attitude about homelessness and that's what I wrote the song about."

      @Peter Huang Even 'druggie, lazy, homeless bums' also at one point still had their dignity and decent clothes, but a long time spent living rough on the streets will be hard on anyone, even you or me. How long will it take for our spirit to be damaged, or our clothes to get disheveled and dirty, or to turn to drugs to self-medicate for pains; mental or physical? It's not always just a matter of "just get a job" but also to deal with trauma or mental health or medical reasons that put the person out of work. It's laughable to believe that a majority of people simply WANT to sleep on cardboard exposed to the elements, with the constant risk of being violently assaulted or harassed by police. Please reconsider your "lazy" / "don't care" narrative, if you actually believe we shouldn't judge others based on their current situations... you only know one story because it was reported, but talking to people who are or who have been homeless inevitably reveals a series of tough circumstances that are not a product of 'laziness'.

Theres a whole system that pushes poor people (especially those who live in favelas) into drugs. Some start dealing since jobs are REALLY hard to get when you're a black "favelado" ( people who live in favelas) and many times thats the only way to buy food for their family. Many end up killed by the police or other gangs.
      Also, saying addicted persons are weak minded is wrong, you should study more. Some don't even need to do actual drugs to become addicted.

      @@LeeDfined I think this song is an interesting mix of edm and folk music. Idk if this is what the artist was going for, this is the first time ive ever listened to them, but I think her voice sorta gives off that folk music vibe. It's an interesting sound.
