Little Child Runnin' Wild (King Britt Scuba Mix) Lyrics


Little child
Runnin' wild
Watch a while
You see he never smilesBroken home
Father gone
Mama tired
So he's all aloneKind of sad
Kind of mad
Ghetto child
Thinkin' he's been hadIn 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 beOne room shack
On the alley-back
Control, I'm told
From across the trackWhere is the mayor

Who'll make all things fair
He lives outside
Our polluted airAnd 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 beI got a Jones
Runnin' through ma' bones
I'm sorry son
All your money's gonePainful rip
In my upper hip
I guess it's time
To take another tripDon'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 wayCan't reason with the pusher man
Finance is all that he understands
You junkie, mama cries, you know
Would rip her, but I love her so
Love her so, now

Curtis Mayfield (June 3, 1942 – December 26, 1999) was an American soul, funk and rhythm and blues, singer-songwriter and guitarist from Chicago, Illinois. Mayfield is probably best known for his anthemic music with The Impressions and for the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Superfly. Perhaps because he didn't cross over to the pop audience as heavily as Motown's stars, it may be that the scope of Curtis Mayfield's talents and contributions have yet to be fully recognized. Judged merely by his records alone, the man's legacy is enormous.
