[Verse 1]
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
A boy is born, in hard time Missis - sippi,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
Surrounded by, four walls that ain't so pretty,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
His parents give, him love and af - fection,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
To keep him strong, moving in the right di - rection,
A6 A B6 F#m/B E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
Living just e -nough, just e -nough, for the city----------! Yah!
[Verse 2]
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
His father works, some days for fourteen hours,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
And you can bet, he barely makes a dollar,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
His mother goes, to scrub the floors for many,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
And you'd best believe, she hardly gets a penny,
A6 A B6 F#m/B E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
Living just e -nough, just e -nough, for the city----------! Yeah!

[Verse 3]
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
Woo! His sister's black, but she is sho' nuff pretty,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
Her skirt is short, but, Lord, her legs are sturdy,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
To walk to school, she's got to get up early,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty,
A6 A B6 F#m/B E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
Living just e -nough, just e -nough, for the city----------!
[Verse 4]
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
Hummm! Her brother's smart, he's got more sense than many,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
His patience's long, but soon he won't have any,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
To find a job, is like a haystack needle,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
'Cause where he lives, they don't use coloured people,
A6 A B6 F#m/B
Living just e - nough, just e - nough,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E E F#m/E Em7
For the city-----------------------------! Yeah!

[Verse 5]
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
He spends his life, walking the streets of New York City,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
He's almost dead, from breathing in air pol - lution,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
He tried to vote, but to him there's no so - lution,
A6 A B6 F#m/B E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
Living just e -nough, just e - nough, for the city------------!
[Verse 6]
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
I hope you hear, in - side my voice of sorrow,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
And that it motivates you to make a better to - morrow,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
This place is cruel, no where could be much colder,
E F#m/E Em7 F#m/E
If we don't change, the world will soon be over,
A6 A B6 B6 F#m/B F#m/B E
Living just e -nough, stop giving just e -nough ...for the ci - ty!
