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 fairDepression 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 townIt'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 feetGhetto 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 backI'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 fairDepression 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 townOh baby, it's hard to do right, you know
On the other side of town
Depression really got a hold on me
On the other side of town

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

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.
