Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) [Live] Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have-nots
Money, we make it
′Fore we see it, you take it

Oh, makes me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Oh, makes me wanna holler
The way they do my life

This ain't livin′, this ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain′t livin′
No, no, no, no
Ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh)
Ain't livin′ baby, this ain't livin′
No, no, no, no

Crime is increasing
Trigger-happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where, where we're heading, ooh


Oh, makes me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Yeah, makes me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Oh

Sing about it
Inner city blues
Yes, baby
Oh, baby
Singin′ about the
Inner city blues

I'm singin' ′bout the babies
That ain′t got no mama
And in the ghetto
All over the world

Singin' ′bout the children there
The hungry people
The old people, baby
All over the world
Inner city blues


Yes it is, baby
Yes it is, baby
Sing about the fathers, got no job, babe
Sing about the
Inner city blues
I'm singin′ about the times ahead, baby
I think it couldn't be any worse than what it is, baby, ahahah

I′m thinking of the blues
Inner city blues, baby, that's what I'm thinking about
One more time
One more time
What ya say?
Listen

Radiation
Stop the fall
And your lives
In the hands of madness
Yes it is, ooh

No business plan
Ah, all the lies they tell, those ain′t the truth, you know?
They lie to you, baby, eeh
I got the blues that owns
For anybody, baby
Got the blues

I got the blues that owns
Turn off the nuclear juice
Turn off the nuclear juice, baby
Cut it all

Countries, countries all over the world
Country
It′s fallin'
From where it started, baby

Yeah baby, I got the blues, baby
Inner city blues
Lord, have mercy
I got the plain blues

Ooh
Help me baby, ow

Inner city blues
Oh baby
Inner city blues
I feel alright
Yes, baby, ooh
Feel alright
