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...ee ha! | |
His father works some days for fourteen hours | |
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar | |
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many | |
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny | |
Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeah! | |
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...um hum | |
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 | |
Cause where he lives they don't use black people | |
Living just enough, just enough for the city... | |
Living just enough... | |
For the city... ooh, ooh | |
Living just enough... | |
For the city... ooh, ooh | |
Living just enough... | |
For the city... ooh, ooh | |
Living just enough... | |
For the city... ooh, ooh | |
Living just enough... | |
For the city... ooh, ooh | |
Living just enough... | |
For the city... ooh, ooh | |
