歌手名 Stevie Wonder

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 eehh eh ha

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 you'd best believe

She hardly gets a penny

Living just enough

Just enough

For the city yeah

His sisters black

But she is shonuff pretty

Her skirt is short

But Lord her legs are sturdy

To walk to school

She's got to get up early

Her clothes are old

But never are they dirty

Living just enough

Just enough

For the city

Um hum

Her brothers smart

Hes got more sense than many

His patiences 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

Oh

Living

Just enough

For the city

For the city yeah

Just enough

And never go city

Just enough

Leaving for the city yeah yeah ah

For the for the city

Just enough

For the city we're leaving

Just enough

Those crazy city

Just enough

For the city we're leaving

Just enough

For the city we're leaving

Just enough

For the city we're leaving

Just enough

For the city we're leaving

Just enough

For the city we're leaving

Just enough

For the city we're leaving

Just enough

For the city

His hair is long

His feet are hard and gritty

He spends his life

walking the streets of New York City

He's almost dead

From breathing in air pollution

He tried to vote but to him there's no solution

Living just enough

Just enough

For the city

Yeah yeah

I hope you hear

Inside my voice of sorrow

And that it motivates you

To make a better tomorrow

This place is cruel

No where could be much colder

If we don't change

The world will soon be over

Living just enough

Stop giving just enough

For city
