[03:59.56][00:07.80]  活在当下 制作
[00:12.15]
[00:12.34]A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
[00:16.99]Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
[00:22.04]His parents give him love and affection
[00:26.79]To keep him strong moving in the right direction
[00:30.93]Living just enough, just enough for the city...
[00:40.24]
[00:41.55]His father works some days for fourteen hours
[00:46.49]And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
[00:51.41]His mother goes to scrub the floor for many
[00:56.35]And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
[01:00.37]Living just enough, just enough for the city...
[01:09.66]
[01:28.11]His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty
[01:33.01]Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
[01:37.84]To walk to school she's got to get up early
[01:42.95]Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
[01:46.86]Living just enough, just enough for the city...
[01:56.06]
[01:57.40]Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
[02:02.47]His patience's long but soon he won't have any
[02:07.19]To find a job is like a haystack needle
[02:12.21]Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
[02:16.21]Living just enough, just enough for the city...
[02:48.97]
[02:49.26]His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
[02:54.01]He spends his love walking the streets of New York City
[02:58.71]He's almost dead from breathing on air pollution
[03:03.63]He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
[03:07.80]Living just enough, just enough for the city...
[03:15.85]
[03:18.28]I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
[03:23.11]And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
[03:28.12]This place is cruel no where could be much colder
[03:32.99]If we don't change the world will soon be over
[03:37.77]Living just enough, just enough for the city!
