Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) - Detroit MIx lyrics

[Intro]
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah

[Verse 1]
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
'Fore we see it you take it

[Chorus]
Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life, yeah
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

[Verse 2]
Inflation, no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
[Chorus]
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Yeah, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life, ah baby

[Bridge]
Dah dah dah dah dah
Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah dah, dah dah, dah dah, dah dah dah dah dah
Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah dah, dah dah, dah dah, dah dah dah dah dah
Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah dah, dah dah, dah dah, dah dah dah dah dah
Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah dah, dah dah, dah dah, dah dah dah dah dah
Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah dah, dah dah, dah dah, dah dah dah dah dah
Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah dah, dah dah, dah dah, dah dah dah dah dah

[Verse 3]
Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, setbacks
Natural, fact is
Ah, honey that I can't pay my taxes

[Chorus]
Oh, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Yeah now, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands, ow
[Verse 4]
Crime is increasing
Trigger-happy policing
Panic is spreading
God know where we're heading

[Chorus]
Oh baby, it make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Yeah, it make me wanna holler
But they don't understand, oh no no

[Scatting and harmonizing]

[Outro]
Mother, mother (Mother, mother)
Everybody thinks we're wrong (Mother, mother)
Who are they to judge us (Mother, mother)
Simply 'cause we wear our hair long (Mother, mother)
Woo
Ah yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi
Ah yi yi yi
Ah yi yi yi yi yi
Ah yi yi
