Lyrics Curtis Mayfield

Curtis Mayfield

Homeless

I'm just homeless

Homeless

I'm just homeless

Homeless

Ooh lord

Just a year ago

I was in the go

(?)

And walking on air

Never thought as far

I just hit a bar

Saw the signs of grief

And still would not care

(?)

These words they repeat

(?)

Look out for the need

Of these

I was someone more

Cause I was no one poor

To find that I too was down on my knees

I'm just homeless

Homeless

I'm just homeless

Homeless

And people wonder why

Homeless

Homeless

Ooh lord

I'm just homeless

Homeless

Don't you cry for me

Just out here I see

Babies and families

Don't have a dad

(?)

Crack (?)

Politicians see but won't take the time

Homeless

Homeless

Ooh yeah

Homeless

Homeless

See me walking by

Homeless

Homeless

Homeless

Homeless

Homeless

Homeless

Homeless

Homeless

I'm just homeless

Homeless

I'm just homeless

Homeless

(?) and fat tables

Leaving biscuits and gravy (?)

Men and ladies

In their Mercedes

Passing by me

But no time for the poor

Without some money

Sure 'nuff the money talk

Just try to buy with your pocket unfilled

(No bills)

Become invisible

And indefensible

(?)

Just don't bring a meal

I'm just homeless

Homeless

Homeless

Homeless

See me walking by

People wonderin' why

Tears flow down my eyes

Take it to the street

I feel so incomplete

Worry worry me

Politicians see

Trying to keep my pride

Don't want to die inside
