Inner City Blues (Poem: ”The Siege of New Orleans”) Gil Scott-Heron

[Verse 1]
Rockets and moon shots
And blame it on the have-nots
Money, we made it
Yeah but before we see it, they take it

[Chorus]
Yes, make you wanna holler, right on
The way they do your life
Make you wanna holler, right on
The way they do your life

[Verse 2]
Inflation means there ain't no chance
To increase a little bit of finance
Bills they gonna pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die

[Chorus]
Yes, make you wanna holler, right on
The way they do your life
Make you wanna holler, right on
The way they do your life

[Verse 3]
Hang ups and let downs
And bad breaks and setbacks
The natural, the natural fact is
Ah baby, I can't pay no taxes
