Small Talk At 125th & Lenox Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]This is just like listening
to a con[C]versation being held
by the many people [Am]who congreg[C]ate
[Am]on one of the most popular
blocks

[Verse 2]
in the largest area of black America
[Am]Did you ever eat cornbread
and black eye peas
Or watermelon and mustard greens?
Get high as you can on Saturday night
Go to church on Sunday
to set things right

[Verse 3]
Listen
[Am]I seen Miss Blake after Willy
yesterday
She'd've killed anybody
who got in her way
Hey look I got a TV for a pound
on the head
And Jimmy Jean got the best

[Verse 4]
Panamanian Red
[Am]No I ain't g[C]ot on no underclothes
But we all got to get through [Am]this gypsy rose
I think Clay got his very good points

[Verse 5]
You say a trade bag with thirteen joints?
[Am]Who cares if LBJ is in town?
Up with Stokely and H.
Rap Brown
I don't know if the riots is wrong
But whitey's been kickin'

[Verse 6]
my ass for too long
[Am]I was s'posed to baby
but they held my pay
Did you hear what the number
was yesterday?
Junkies is all right when they ain't broke
They leaves you alone when
they high on dope

[Verse 7]
[Am]Damn, but I wish I could get up and move
Shut up. Hell you [Am]know that [C]ain't true[Am]
