Stevie Wonder - Living for the city 1974

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi

Surrounded by four walls that aint so pretty

His parents give him love and affection

To keep him strong moving in the right direction

Living just enough, just enough for the city!

His father works some days for fourteen hours

And you can bet he barely makes a dollar

His mother goes to scrub the floors for many

And youd best believe she hardly gets a penny

Living just enough, just enough for the city!

(Instrumental)

His sisters black but she is shonuff pretty

Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy

To walk to school shes got to get up early

Her clothes are old but never are they dirty

Living just enough, just enough for the city!

Her brothers smart hes got more sense than many

His patiences long but soon he wont have any

To find a job is like a haystack needle

Cause where he lives they dont use colored people

Living just enough, just enough for the city!

(Instrumental)

(Living just enough for the city)

Living for the city yeah

(Living just enough for the city)

Living for the city yeah ...

(Instrumental)

Everybodys singing

La, la, la, la, la, la,

Da ba da da da da da da

Da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da
