The Other Side Of Town Lyrics - Curtis - Curtis Mayfield

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 

Oh 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
