Living for the City - Ike & Tina Turner[00:00:00]

Written by：S. Wonder[00:00:05]

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[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 floor for many[00:00:49]

And you'd best she hardly makes a penny[00:00:54]

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

His sister's black but she is sho nuff pretty[00:01:24]

Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy[00:01:29]

And to walk to school she's got to get up early[00:01:34]

Her clothes are old but never never dirty[00:01:39]

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

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many[00:01:54]

His patience's long but soon he won't have any[00:01:59]

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

Cause where he lives they don't use colored people[00:02:08]

The living just enough just enough for the city[00:02:13]

Oh ah[00:02:23]

Ah sh*t it yeah[00:02:28]

Cause living just enough[00:02:38]

Cause they ain't yet enough[00:02:43]

Propable start you ain't get no start[00:02:48]

Give that lode one rode can't get shut[00:02:54]

What is hole they'll hold you every know[00:02:58]

One day somebody gonna come on[00:03:03]

Gonna take their children speel their hole[00:03:07]

Oh yeah holy just you just know[00:03:12]

Some just even know[00:03:19]

They can living enough[00:03:21]

Living I may just probablily back[00:03:25]
