Inner City Blues Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
This ain't livin'
This ain't livin', livin', livin' woo
This ain't livin', nah, no, no, no, woo
This ain't livin', nah, no, no, no
[Verse 1]
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Tell you, before we see it, you take it

Oh, makes me wanna holler the way they do my life, hey-hey-hey
Make me wanna holler the way they do my life, hey-hey-hey, oh
This ain't livin', nah, no, no, no

Inflation, ain't no chance
To increase my finance
Bills piled up sky high
Send my boy off to die

Hang-ups (Hang-ups), letdowns (Letdowns)
Bad breaks (Bad breaks), setbacks (Setbacks)
Natural, fact is
Honey, that I can't pay my taxes

Oh, make me wanna holler, throw up both my hands
Hey, it makes me wanna holler, throw up both my hands, ow

Crime is increasing
Trigger-happy policing
Hey, hey, hey, panic is spreading
Only God knows where we're heading
