Living For The City - Lauri Mikkola

A boy is born in hard time mississippi

Surrounded by four walls that ain't 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

Yeahh his father works some days for fourteen hours

You best believe he barely makes a dollar

His mother goes to scrub the floor for many

And you can believe she hardly makes a penny

Living just enough just enough for the city

Yeah

His sister's black but she is sho nuff pretty

Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy

To walk to school she has to get up early

Her clothes are old but never are they dirty

Living just enough just enough for the city yeah

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many

His patience's long but soon he won't have any

To find a job is like a haystack needle

Cause where he lives they don't use colored people

Living just enough just enough for the city

Living for the city

Living for the city

Living for the city

Living for the city

Yeahaaa

Yeah
