INNER CITY BLUES | |
(M. Gaye - J. Nyx) | |
MINDLESS MOONSHOTS, | |
SPEND IT ON THE HAVE-NOTS, | |
MONEY, WE MAKE IT, | |
BEFORE WE SEE IT | |
YOU TAKE IT. | |
OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, | |
THE WAY THEY DO MY LIFE, | |
OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, | |
THE WAY THEY DO MY LIFE, | |
THIS AIN´T LIVING. | |
THIS AIN´T LIVING. | |
INFLATION, NO CHANCE | |
TO INCREASE FINANCE, | |
BILLS PILE UP, SKY HIGH. | |
SEND THAT BOY OFF, TO DIE. | |
OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, | |
THE WAY THEY DO MY LIFE, | |
OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, | |
THE WAY THEY DO MY LIFE, | |
THIS AIN´T LIVING. | |
HANG UP, AND LET DOWNS. | |
BAD BREAKS, SET BACKS. | |
NATURAL FACT IS, | |
OH HONEY THAT I | |
CAN´T PAY MY TAXES. | |
OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, | |
AND THROW UP BOTH MY HANDS. | |
OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, | |
AND THROW UP BOTH MY HANDS. | |
CRIME IS INCREASING, | |
TRIGGER HAPPY POLICING, | |
PANIC, IS SPREADING, | |
GOD KNOWS WHERE WE´RE HEADING | |
OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, | |
AND THROW UP BOTH MY HANDS. | |
OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, | |
THE WAY THEY DO MY LIFE, | |
THIS AIN´T LIVING. | |
(RAP:) | |
I´VE BEEN WORKING ALL NIGHT, | |
AND I´VE BEEN WORKING ALL WEEK, | |
AND I DON´T KNOW HOW | |
I´M GONNA MAKE ENDS MEET. | |
BUT THE PEOPLE I MEET | |
ON THESE LONDON STREETS, | |
THEY SAY YOU GOTTA GET HIP | |
WITH A BRAND NEW BEAT. | |
IT´S A MOONSHINE, | |
IT´S A HARD TIME, | |
IT´S A RHYTHM IN RESISTANCE, | |
WITH A STORY LINE, | |
OF A BETTER TIME, | |
THAT´S COMING SOON, | |
IF YOU FACE THE FACT, | |
THAT YOU´VE GOTTA FIGHT BACK, | |
WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE, | |
AND A HOPE IN YOUR SOUL, | |
IT´S THE INNER CITY BLUES. |
INNER CITY BLUES | |
