Living for the City - The Associated Soul Group[00:00:00]

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi[00:00:11]

Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty[00:00:15]

His parents give him love and affection[00:00:20]

To keep him strong moving in the right direction[00:00:25]

Living just enough just enough for the city[00:00:28]

His father works some days for fourteen hours[00:00:38]

And you can bet he barely makes a dollar[00:00:42]

His mother goes to scrub the floors for many[00:00:47]

And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny[00:00:51]

Living just enough just enough for the city yeah[00:00:55]

His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty[00:01:20]

Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy[00:01:24]

To walk to school she's got to get up early[00:01:29]

Her clothes are old but never are they dirty[00:01:33]

Living just enough just enough for the city[00:01:37]

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many[00:01:46]

His patience's long but soon he won't have any[00:01:50]

To find a job is like a haystack needle[00:01:55]

'Cause where he lives they don't use colored people[00:01:59]

Living just enough just enough for the city[00:02:03]

Living just enough[00:02:36]

Living just enough[00:02:39]

Living just enough[00:02:40]

Living just enough for the city[00:02:43]

Living just enough[00:02:46]

Living just enough[00:02:49]

Living just enough[00:02:52]

Living just enough[00:02:53]

Living just enough for the city[00:02:57]

Living just enough[00:02:59]

Living just enough[00:03:02]

Oh is not[00:03:04]

Living just enough[00:03:06]

Living just enough for the city[00:03:09]

Living just enough[00:03:11]
