The meaning is: a poor person survives from hand to mouth and have no food or income savings of their own. They can't afford to rest (tire); for that will mean lack of food to put on 'table'. In short they have to lay hands on anything that brings food.

An honest counter-proverb from the Yoruba tribe (NGR) says "kira kita kod'ola, ori lomo'se asela" meaning, running helter skelter tirelessly doesn't necessarily make you rich, your destiny had made a choice for your breakthrough. Implication - work hard at discovering purpose.
