Inner City Blues

Rockets, moon shots
Spend it all, on the have nots
Money, we make it
By the time we see it you take it
you take it
Oh, you make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Oh, you Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', This ain't livin'
For sure no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
of to die
Oh, they Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', this ain't livin'
Hang ups and let downs
Bad breaks and set backs
The natural fact is
I can't go on like this, I can't go on
The crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where we're heading
where we're heading
Oh, they make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Oh, they make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
This ain't livin, this ain't livin
