Inner City Blues

Rockets, moon shots

Spend it on the have-nots

Money, we make it

'Fore we see it, you take it

Oh, make me wanna holler

The way you do my life

Make me wanna holler

The way you do my life

This ain't livin', this ain't livin'

No, no, baby

This ain't livin'

Inflation, no chance

To increase finance

Bills pile up sky high

Send that boy off to die

Make me wanna holler

The way they do my life

Make me wanna holler

The way they do my life

Well, this ain't livin'

No, no, no, babe

This ain't livin'

Hang ups, let downs

Bad breaks, set backs

Natural fact is

Oh, honey, that I can't pay my taxes

Oh, make me wanna holler

And throw up both my hands

Make me wanna holler

And throw up both my hands, oh

Crime is increasin'

Trigger happy policin'

Panic is spreadin'

God knows where we're headin'

Mmm, make me wanna holler

They just don't understand

They make me wanna holler

They just don't understand

Oh, this ain't livin'

No, no, no, babe

This ain't livin'

They make me wanna holler

Make me wanna holler

They make me wanna holler

Throw up both my hands

'Cause this ain't livin'

No, no, no, babe

This ain't livin'

Trigger happy policin'

Yeah, the crime is increasin'

Trigger happy policin', yeah

Nah, this ain't livin'

No, no, no, no, no, babe

Well, this ain't livin'
