Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Concrete castle king, won't you give us a helping hand?
Concrete castle king, I hope you will understand
We're suffering
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Living in your concrete castle on the hill
You don't know what life is like in the ghetto
Living in a two-by-four with no place to walk around, no, no
While you're in a castle all alone
[Verse 3]
I said, concrete castle king, won't you give us a helping hand?
Concrete castle king, I hope you will understand
We're suffering
Yeah
[Verse 4]
Life isn't easy in the ghetto, no
It's hard to keep from getting into trouble
The temptation is great
And you don't have no one to say, "Don't do it"
No, no, no, no
[Verse 5]
Concrete castle king, we do need your help
Whoa, yeah
[Verse 6]
Many days we stand in the rain and sun
Waiting for the bus that never comes
You pass by in your fancy car
Wearing a plastic smile and smoking a big cigar
[Verse 7]
So, concrete caste king, won't you give us a helping hand?
Concrete castle king, I hope you will understand
We're suffering
Whoa, yeah, we're suffering
We do need your help, yeah
