Inner City Blues
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Before we see it, you take it
It makes me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Ooh, make me wanna holler
Way they do my life
I said: "Listen, just listen to me"
This ain't livin'
Oh, no
Inflation and no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy out to die
It make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Ooh, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Baby, just hear me
Ain't no good, girl
Hang ups, and let downs
Bad breaks and set backs
Natural fact is
That I can't pay my taxes
It make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Sweet, sweet baby, hear me
Ooh, it make me wanna holler
Way they do my life
Now it make me wanna holler
Way they do my life
Baby, won't you listen, listen on me?
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic keep on spreading
God knows where we're heading
Make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
It make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Just do one more lesson to me good
Is this livin'? Let me know
Let me know
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Before we see it, you take it
It makes me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Ooh, make me wanna holler
Way they do my life
I said: "Listen, just listen to me"
This ain't livin'
Oh, no
Inflation and no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy out to die
It make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Ooh, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Baby, just hear me
Ain't no good, girl
Hang ups, and let downs
Bad breaks and set backs
Natural fact is
That I can't pay my taxes
It make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Sweet, sweet baby, hear me
Ooh, it make me wanna holler
Way they do my life
Now it make me wanna holler
Way they do my life
Baby, won't you listen, listen on me?
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic keep on spreading
God knows where we're heading
Make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
It make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Just do one more lesson to me good
Is this livin'? Let me know
Let me know
