Inner City Blues

Mindless ... moonshots Spend it on ... the have-nots Money ... we make it Before we see it ... you take it Oh, makes me wanna holla: the way they do my life Oh, makes me wanna holla: the way they do my life This ain't living. This ain't living Inflation ... no chance To increase ... finance Bills pile up ... sky high Send that boy off ... to die Oh, makes me wanna holla, the way they do my life Oh, makes me wanna holla, the way they do my life This ain't living Hang-up ... and let downs Bad breaks ... set backs Natural ... fact is Oh honey that I can't pay my ... taxеs Oh, makes me wanna holla and throw up both my hands Oh, makes mе wanna holla, and throw up both my hands Crime is ... increasing Trigger happy ... policing Panic ... is spreading God knows where we're ... heading Oh, makes me wanna holla, and throw up both my hands Oh, makes me wanna holla, the way they do my life This ain't living (Rap) I've been working all night, and I've been working all week and I don't know how I'm gonna make ends meet But the people I meet on these London streets, they say you gotta get hip with a brand new beat It's a moonshine it's a hard time, it's a rhythm in resistance, with a story line, of a better time, that's coming soon, if you face the fact, that you've gotta fight back, with a smile on your face and hope in your soul, it's the inner city blues
