A boy is born in hard time mississippi[00:00:12]

Surrounded by four walls that ain’t so pretty[00:00:16]

His parents give him love and affection[00:00:21]

To keep him strong moving in the right direction[00:00:26]

Living just enough just enough for the city ee ha [00:00:30]

His father works some days for fourteen hours[00:00:41]

And you can bet he barely makes a dollar[00:00:45]

His mother goes to scrub the floors for many[00:00:48]

And you’d best believe she hardly gets a penny[00:00:55]

Living just enough just enough for the city yeah [00:00:59]

His sister’s black but she is sho’nuff pretty[00:01:27]

Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy[00:01:32]

To walk to school she’s got to get up early[00:01:37]

Her clothes are old but never are they dirty[00:01:41]

Living just enough just enough for the city um hum[00:01:45]

Her brother’s smart he’s got more sense than many[00:01:56]

His patience’s long but soon he won’t have any[00:02:01]

To find a job is like a haystack needle[00:02:06]

Cause where he lives they don’t use colored people[00:02:11]

Living just enough just enough for the city [00:02:15]

Living just enough For the city [00:02:52]

His hair is long his feet are hard and gritty[00:03:00]

He spends his life walking the streets of new york city[00:03:03]

He’s almost dead from breathing in air pollution[00:03:08]

He tried to vote but to him there’s no solution[00:03:13]

Living just enough just enough for the city [00:03:19]

Yeah yeah yeah [00:03:22]

I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow[00:03:23]

And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow[00:03:25]

This place is cruel no where could be much colder[00:03:30]

If we don’t change the world will soon be over[00:03:35]

Living just enough stop giving just enough for the city[00:03:39]
