Lyrics
just enough for the city um hum
His sister s black but she is sho nuff pretty, cause where he lives they don t use colored people, stop giving just enough for the city
to find a job is like a haystack needle
just enough for the city yeah
Living just enough, cause where he lives they don t use colored people
just enough for the city yeah
his hair is long
For the city ooh, he tried to vote but to him there s no solution, her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy
her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy
He spends his life walking the streets of new york city, his patience s long but soon he won t have any
To keep him strong moving in the right direction, just enough for the city ee ha
and that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
He tried to vote but to him there s no solution, a boy is born in hard time mississippi Michael, his patience s long but soon he won t have any
his father works some days for fourteen hours
He tried to vote but to him there s no solution, a boy is born in hard time mississippi
Living just enough, just enough for the city um hum For, living just enough
To find a job is like a haystack needle, surrounded by four walls that ain t so pretty
Just enough for the city, living just enough
Living just enough, his father works some days for fourteen hours, stop giving just enough for the city
He s almost dead from breathing in air pollution, his feet are hard and gritty The, his parents give him love and affection
Repeat several times, to find a job is like a haystack needle, living just enough
his patience s long but soon he won t have any
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty, living just enough
To walk to school she s got to get up early, and you can bet he barely makes a dollar, and that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
His hair is long, da ba da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da City, his feet are hard and gritty
He tried to vote but to him there s no solution, stop giving just enough for the city, stop giving just enough for the city
Repeat several times, repeat to end
Cause where he lives they don t use colored people, his mother goes to scrub the floors for many, he spends his life walking the streets of new york city
His parents give him love and affection, he s almost dead from breathing in air pollution For, he tried to vote but to him there s no solution
His sister s black but she is sho nuff pretty, and you d best believe she hardly gets a penny
This place is cruel no where could be much colder, to walk to school she s got to get up early, living just enough
