Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)

(album: A Time In My Life - 1971)

Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it, you take it
Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't living, this ain't living
No, no baby, this ain't living
No, no, no

Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up, sky high
Send that boy off to die
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life

Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
I can't pay my taxes
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yeah, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands

Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God know, where we're heading
Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Make me wanna holler
They don't understand

Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it, you take it
Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
