๐ Lyrics
A boy is born in Hot Sun, 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
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes and scrubs the floor for many
And you best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough
Just enough for the city
His sister's black, but she, she's not for pretty
Her skirt is short, but Lord, her legs are sturdy
To walk to school, she has to get up early
Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty
Her brother's small, he's got more sense than many
His day is long, but soon he won't have any
Living just enough
Just enough for the city
Living just enough
Just enough
Just enough
Just enough for the city
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
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes and scrubs the floor for many
And you best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough
Just enough for the city
His sister's black, but she, she's not for pretty
Her skirt is short, but Lord, her legs are sturdy
To walk to school, she has to get up early
Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty
Her brother's small, he's got more sense than many
His day is long, but soon he won't have any
Living just enough
Just enough for the city
Living just enough
Just enough
Just enough
Just enough for the city
