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
