[00:11.270] | A boy is born in hard time mississippi |
[00:15.980] | Surrounded by four walls that ain’t so pretty |
[00:20.930] | His parents give him love and affection |
[00:25.100] | To keep him strong moving in the right direction |
[00:29.910] | Living just enough just enough for the city ee ha |
[00:40.420] | His father works some days for fourteen hours |
[00:45.230] | And you can bet he barely makes a dollar |
[00:50.100] | His mother goes to scrub the floors for many |
[00:54.540] | And you’d best believe she hardly gets a penny |
[00:58.940] | Living just enough just enough for the city yeah |
[01:26.540] | His sister’s black but she is sho’nuff pretty |
[01:31.380] | Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy |
[01:36.290] | To walk to school she’s got to get up early |
[01:41.090] | Her clothes are old but never are they dirty |
[01:45.170] | Living just enough just enough for the city um hum |
[01:56.090] | Her brother’s smart he’s got more sense than many |
[02:00.660] | His patience’s long but soon he won’t have any |
[02:05.610] | To find a job is like a haystack needle |
[02:10.200] | Cause where he lives they don’t use colored people |
[02:14.570] | Living just enough just enough for the city |
[02:51.620] | Living just enough For the city |
[05:17.370] | His hair is long his feet are hard and gritty |
[05:22.140] | He spends his life walking the streets of new york city |
[05:26.880] | He’s almost dead from breathing in air pollution |
[05:31.680] | He tried to vote but to him there’s no solution |
[05:35.570] | Living just enough just enough for the city |
[05:43.330] | Yeah yeah yeah |
[05:46.280] | I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow |
[05:50.750] | And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow |
[05:55.560] | This place is cruel no where could be much colder |
[06:00.280] | If we don’t change the world will soon be over |
[06:04.220] | Living just enough stop giving just enough for the city |
