Video Description: Aloe Blacc performs "I Need a Dollar" with The Roots on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last week. (The video should start right at the beginning of the musical segment, but, if not, jump to minute 37.)
Or, watch the music video here. The music video ends with "Life So Hard," the lyrics for which don't seem to be available online, but are:
The key to everything, everybody, here in America is the money / Some say that it's the root of all evil / Brings wars and [can't make this out] / These families in the street, with nothing to eat / These baby boys and girls with no shoes on their feet / All the men who leave or die in a war zone / And the women do it all on they own / It reminds me of the ghettoes right here and the hoods that I see / Everywhere that I've been in this country / Stop bailing out the banks and give the [?] to me / I guess my piece of the pie ain't free.Lyrics to "I Need a Dollar" are available here.
