Summertime In The City

Winfred Lovett

If you ever been or lived in the city
Then you know what I'm gonna talk about
Little bitty babies
Trying to sleep
Well
Mommas tryna keep em
Out of the heat
Rush hour traffic, yes
Blocking up the street, well
Juke box playing
A funky beat

(Have you ever be there)
In city
(Have you ever be there)
In city

Garbage in the streets
But nobody cares
Everybody's rushing, well
But ain't going nowhere
Working like a [?]
Well
Ain't getting no pay
You ain't never, seen the summer
In the city, well well well well
You ain't never, na na na
The summer in the city
If you ain't seen the summer in the city

Stock went down
He bought a new car, yeah
He's just riding around, well
Street lady walking, round and round
Tryin' make a dollar while the sun is down

In city

Pregnant little girl
Wishing she was dead
Mmmm
You ain't never
Seen the summer
In the city, well well well well
You ain't never
Seen the summer
If you ain't seen the summer in the city

Taxi's are running
Tryna make a fare
[?]
Ain't getting nowhere
Little boy fell fell down
He started to cry
