Lyrics Living for the City

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough just enough for the city hey ha
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floor for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough just enough for the city yeah
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
Yeah
Ooh
His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough just enough for the city yeah hmm
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
'Cos where he lives they don't use colored people
Living just enough just enough for the city yeah
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
Aoh
Ooh
Whoa
Livin' for the city yeah
Hey nothing' for the city
Hee
For nothing' for the city hee
For nothing' for the city ah ah
For nothing but the city
Ooh
Everybody clap your hand and come on now
Mmm hmm
For the city now
