[00:10.16]A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
[00:14.83]Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
[00:19.88]His parents give him love and affection
[00:24.43]To keep him strong, moving in the right direction
[00:28.66]Living just enough, just enough for the city
[00:39.40]His father works some days for fourteen hours
[00:44.18]And you can bet, he barely makes a dollar
[00:48.97]His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
[00:53.81]And you'd best believe, she hardly gets a penny
[00:58.12]Living just enough, just enough for the city
[01:25.61]His sister's black, but she is sho'nuff pretty
[01:30.36]Her skirt is short, but Lord her legs are sturdy
[01:35.22]To walk to school, she's got to get up early
[01:40.27]Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty
[01:44.50]Living just enough, just enough for the city
[01:54.98]Her brother's smart, he's got more sense than many
[01:59.77]His patience's long, but soon he won't have any
[02:04.62]To find a job is like a haystack needle
[02:09.45]'Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
[02:13.36]Living just enough, just enough for the city, yeah
[02:51.70](Living just enough for the city, whoa) Everybody, city, yeah
[02:57.48](Living just enough for the city, whoa) Ain't nothin' but the city
[03:01.77](Living just enough for the city, whoa) Everybody, city, yeah
[03:07.86](Living just enough for the city, whoa) Ain't nothin' but the city
[03:11.65](Living just enough for the city, whoa) Living for the city, yeah
[03:15.12](Living just enough, for the city, whoa) The funky, cryin' city
[03:15.61](Living just enough, for the city, whoa) Living for the city
[03:16.90](Living just enough, for the city, whoa) Ain't nothin' but the city
[03:16.87](Living just enough, for the city, whoa) Everybody clap you hand together now
[03:18.32](Living just enough, for the city, whoa) For the city
[03:19.60](Living just enough, for the city, whoa) For the city, yeah, yeah
[03:19.88](Living just enough, for the city, whoa)
[03:20.39](Living just enough, for the city, whoa)
[03:21.19]The bus for New York City!
[03:23.36]Hey bus driver, I'm getting on that, hold it
[03:24.20]Thanks a lot
[03:24.74]Wow, New York, just like I pictured it
[03:25.48]Skyscrapers and everything
[03:26.31]Psst, hey, hey brother, hey come here slick
[03:27.10]Hey you look, you look hip man
[03:27.65]Hey, you wanna make yourself five bucks, man?
[03:28.38]Yeah, brother
[03:29.10]Look here, run this across the street for me right quick
[03:29.83]Okay, run this across the street for me
[03:30.30]What? (Up against that goddamn car!) Huh? (Let's go)
[03:31.11]I didn't know, what?
[03:31.56]Gimme your hands up, you punk
[03:31.93]I'm just going across the street
[03:32.18]Put that leg up, shut your mouth
[03:32.35]Hell no, what did I do?
[03:32.73]Okay, turn around, turn around
[03:33.00]Put your hands behind your back, let's go, lets go
[03:33.17]A jury of your peers having found you guilty, ten years
[03:33.46]What?
[03:33.81]Come on, come on, get in that cell, nigger
[03:33.96]God, Lord
[03:34.32]His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
[03:34.57]He spends the life walking the streets of New York City
[03:34.82]He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution
[03:35.64]He tried and fought, but to him there's no solution
[03:35.95]Living just enough, just enough for the city (yeah, yeah, yeah)
[03:36.22]I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
[03:36.45]And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
[03:36.69]This place is cruel, nowhere could be much colder
[03:36.97]If we don't change, the world will soon be over
[03:37.26]Living just enough, stop giving just enough for the city
