_ _ Round and round, for one insult from dad,
Van given, _ love and affection,
_ Keepin' [C] strong, [Dm] livin' in the right direction,
And if [G] he ain't catchin' up,
_ _ Just enough [D] for a sit-down.
_ [A#] _ _ [A] _ _
[Dm] _ _ His father was ex,
Some days for fourteen hours,
And you can bet, he hardly missed a lot,
_ His mama goes, scrubbed the floors for [C] many,
[Dm] And I declare,
No woman hardly makes a penny,

To go to school,
[F#m] She's got to get [D#m] her pretty,

Livin' just enough,

[F#] To find that y'all,
[F#m] Is black and I [B] hate that neither,

Oh, my head's off a century
[Dm] _ [Am] He's kind of [Dm] long
He's sweet at heart and good girl
He's spendin' his life
Walkin' the streets with [A] me
I'm sick of that
[D] He's almost dead
[Dm] A little bit of air pollution
_ He's hard to vote
But to him, there's no solution
[G] He's a gasping dog
_ [A#]
Like [C#] Jesse, [D] make my seat there
[G] I'm sick [Dm] of that
I _ hope [C] you hear [Dm] inside my voice of sorrow
That I'm old and beaten
To make a better tomorrow
This [Am] life is cruel
[Dm] No, I could be much colder
If you don't change, the world will soon be over
[G] I'm feeling nasty enough
[A] I'm feeling [C] nasty enough [Dm] for this [D#] city

I'm gonna sit down
_ Lord, [G] _ _ _
[Dm] _ I'm just living there

_ _ [G] I hope somebody understands what [Dm] I'm talking about
_ _ [G] _ I'm just living for [Dm] the city
