Curtis Mayfield - The Other Side Of Town lyrics

I'm from the other side of town Out of bounds To anybody who don't live around I never learned to share Or how to care I never had no teachings About being fair Depression is part of my mind The sun never shines On the other side of town The need here is always for more There's nothing good in store On the other side of town It's hard to do right In this filthy night Just plain simple comfort Is completely out of sight My little sister she hungry For bread to eat My brother's hand me down shoes Are now showing his feet Ghetto blues showed on the news All is aware But what the hell do they care You across the track Completely relaxed You take a warning fact Don't you never come back I'm from the other side of town Out of bounds To anybody who don't live around I never learned to share Or how to care I never had no teachings About being fair Depression is part of my mind The sun never shines On the other side of town The need here is always for more There's nothing good in store On the other side of town O baby it's hard to do right On the other side of town
