[00:00:00] Living for the City - Ike & Tina Turner

[00:00:02] Written by：S. Wonder

[00:00:10] A boy is born in hard time Mississippi

[00:00:15] Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty

[00:00:20] His parents give him love and affection

[00:00:25] To keep him strong moving in the right direction

[00:00:29] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:00:39] His father works some days for fourteen hours

[00:00:44] And you can bet he barely makes a dollar

[00:00:49] His mother goes to scrub the floor for many

[00:00:54] And you'd best she hardly makes a penny

[00:00:58] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:01:24] His sister's black but she is sho nuff pretty

[00:01:28] Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy

[00:01:34] And to walk to school she's got to get up early

[00:01:39] Her clothes are old but never never dirty

[00:01:44] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:01:54] Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many

[00:01:59] His patience's long but soon he won't have any

[00:02:04] To find a job is like a haystack needle

[00:02:08] Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
