Marvin Gaye
Inner City Blues
[Intro: Guy Theisen]
Dah-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah-dah-dah
Dah-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah-dah-dah
Dah-dah
[Verse 1: Guy Theisen]
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have-nots
Money, we make it
'Fore we see it, you take it
[Chorus: Guy Theisen]
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make 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
[Verse 2: Guy Theisen]
Inflation, no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky-high
Send that boy off to die
[Chorus: Guy Theisen]
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Oh
[Scatting]
[Verse 3: Guy Theisen]
Hang-ups, let downs
Bad breaks, setbacks
Natural fact is
Oh honey that I can't pay my taxes
[Chorus: Guy Theisen]
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yeah, makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
[Verse 4: Guy Theisen]
Crime is increasing
Trigger-happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where we're heading
[Chorus: Guy Theisen]
Oh, makes me wanna holler
They don't understand
Make me wanna holler
They don't understand
[Scatting]
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro: Guy Theisen]
Mother, mother
Everybody things we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause we wear our hair long
Ooh
[Instrumental]
