Bilingual
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents gave him love and affection
To keep him strong, moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city
ย
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
ย
His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends the life walking the streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing air pollution
He tried and fought, but to him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city
ย
Woah, I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel, nowhere could be much colder
If you don't change, the world will soon be over
Living just enough, just enough for the city, yeah
ย
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Living just enough, for the city, oh
Living just enough, for the city, oh
Living just enough, for the city, oh
Living for
Living just enough
Living just enough
Living just enough
Living just enough
Living just enough
Living just enough
Living just enough
Living just enough
Living just for the city
Living just for the city, yeah
Living just for the city
For the city, for the city (for the city, yeah)
Living just for the city
Living just for the city, yeah
Living just for the city
Living for the city, for the city, for the city
