A boy is born in hard time Mississippi

Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
四面斑驳墙壁围困着他的童年
His parents give him love and affection

To keep him strong moving in the right direction
让他在正道上坚强前行
Living just enough just enough for the city
勉强糊口的日子 仅够在这城市生存
His father works some days for fourteen hours
父亲日日劳作十四小时
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
挣得的微薄薪水令人心酸
His mother goes to scrub the floor for many
母亲跪擦无数人家地板
And you'd best she hardly makes a penny
她辛苦劳作却收入微薄
Living just enough just enough for the city
勉强糊口的日子 仅够在这城市生存
His sister's black but she is sho nuff pretty
妹妹肤色黝黑却美丽动人
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
短裙下是结实有力的双腿
And to walk to school she's got to get up early
为了上学她必须早早起床
Her clothes are old but never never dirty
衣衫虽旧却永远整洁干净
Living just enough just enough for the city

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many

His patience's long but soon he won't have any

To find a job is like a haystack needle
求职如同大海捞针般艰难
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
只因他的肤色 在这里不被接纳
The living just enough just enough for the city

Cause they ain't yet enough

或许你从未有过机会
Give that lode one rode can't get shut
