Living For The City[00:00:00]

A boy is born in hard time mississippi[00:00:10]

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 ee ha [00:00:29]

His father works some days for fourteen hours[00:00:39]

And you can bet he barely makes a dollar[00:00:44]

His mother goes to scrub the floors for many[00:00:49]

And you’d best believe she hardly gets a penny[00:00:53]

Living just enough just enough for the city yeah [00:00:58]

His sister’s black but she is sho’nuff pretty[00:01:26]

Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy[00:01:30]

To walk to school she’s got to get up early[00:01:35]

Her clothes are old but never are they dirty[00:01:40]

Living just enough just enough for the city um hum[00:01:44]

Her brother’s smart he’s got more sense than many[00:01:55]

His patience’s long but soon he won’t have any[00:02:00]

To find a job is like a haystack needle[00:02:04]

Cause where he lives they don’t use colored people[00:02:09]

Living just enough just enough for the city [00:02:13]

Living just enough For the city[00:02:51]
