Mindless ... moonshots
Spend it on ... the have-nots
Money ... we make it
Before we see it ... you take it
Oh, makes me wanna holla: the way they do my life
Oh, makes me wanna holla: the way they do my life
This ain't living. This ain't living

Inflation ... no chance
To increase ... finance
Bills pile up ... sky high
Send that boy off ... to die
Oh, makes me wanna holla, the way they do my life
Oh, makes me wanna holla, the way they do my life
This ain't living

Hang-up ... and let downs
Bad breaks ... set backs
Natural ... fact is
Oh honey that I can't pay my ... taxеs
Oh, makes me wanna holla and throw up both my hands
Oh, makes mе wanna holla, and throw up both my hands

Crime is ... increasing
Trigger happy ... policing
Panic ... is spreading
God knows where we're ... heading
Oh, makes me wanna holla, and throw up both my hands
Oh, makes me wanna holla, the way they do my life
This ain't living
(Rap)
I've been working all night, and I've been working all week and I don't know how I'm gonna make ends meet
But the people I meet on these London streets, they say you gotta get hip with a brand new beat
It's a moonshine it's a hard time, it's a rhythm in resistance, with a story line, of a better time, that's coming soon, if you face the fact, that you've gotta fight back, with a smile on your face and hope in your soul, it's the inner city blues
