a) INNER CITY BLUES (MAKE ME WANNA HOLLER)
Rockets, moon shots
I wanna spend it on the have-nots
Money, we make it
Before we see it you take it
Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', No, no, no, no, no
No, no, baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no, no, no
Inflation no chance
To increase our finance
Bills pile up sky high
It'll send that poor boy off to die
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yea, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Somebody say na-na-na-na-na-na
(Na, na-na-na, na-na)
Say na-na-na-na-na-na-na
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
It's gettin' so tough on the street
That I can't stand outside my door
Without someone standin' in front of me
Ask before I die, I'm gettin' somethin' to eat
Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
I said the natural fact is
Honey, I can't even pay my taxes
Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
No, no, no, no, no baby
This can't be livin', livin' over me
I said, crime increasing, increasing
We got trigger happy policing
Panic, panic is spreading
But God knows where, God knows
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yea, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Somebody say na-na-na-na-na-na
(Na, na-na-na, na-na)
Say na-na-na-na-na-na-na
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Politicians, crooked preachers
Gettin' rich off the lies they teach us
Brothers unemployed and homeless state
For those who got and they'll kill for more
Baby can't you see what's goin' on?
We'd been lied to or far too long
Together we can right the wrongs
Before our time here is all gone
Yeah, somebody
