A boy is born in hardtime mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that aint so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong, movin in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city, yeah
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
His sisters black, but she is sho nuff 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 coloured people
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Living just enough for the city
