Little Child Runnin'Wild （版）-Curtis Mayfield

Little child

Runnin'wild

Watch a while

You see he never smile

Broken home

Father gone

Mama tired

So he's all alone

Kind of sad

Kind of mad

Little child

Thinkin'he's been had

In the back of his mind he's sayin'

Didn't have to be here

You didn't have to love for me

While I was just a nothin'child

Why couldn't they just let me be

Let me be let me be let me be

One room shack

On the Alley back

Control I'm told

From across the track

Where is the mayor

Who'll make all things fair

He lives outside

Our polluted air

And I didn't have to be here

You didn't have to love for me

While I was just a nothin'child

Why couldn't they just let me be

Let me be let me be let me be

I got a jones

Runnin'through ma'bones

I'm sorry son

All your money's gone

Painful rip

In my upper hip

I guess it's time

To take another trip

Don't care what nobody say

I got to take the pain away

It's getting worser day by day

And all my life has been this way

Can't reason with the pusherman

Finance is all that he understands

'You junkie mama cries you know'

Would rip her but I love her so

Love her so now
