Living For The City

A boy is born in hard time mississippi

Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
被四面简陋的墙围着
His parents give him love and affection

To keep him strong moving in the right direction
让他坚强,走向正确的方向
Living just enough just enough for the city ee ha
在这城市生存下去就已足够,呃,哈
His father works some days for fourteen hours
他的爸爸有一段时间每天工作14个小时
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
你可以打赌他有没有挣到钱
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
他的妈妈帮有钱人擦地板
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
你最好相信她几乎没有挣到一便士
Living just enough just enough for the city yeah
只要能生存在这个城市就足够了,耶
His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty

Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy
她的裙子很短,但是她的腿很健康
To walk to school she's got to get up early

Her clothes are old but never are they dirty

Living just enough just enough for the city um hum

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
她的弟弟很聪明,比别的孩子都懂事
His patience's long but soon he won't have any

To find a job is like a haystack needle
找到一份工作就如大海捞针
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
