Ellis Dee |
| Why is he cussin and callin disgustin |
| The city that is now his home |
| He never smiles or keeps up with styles |
| He is black and he is all alone |
| And you ask why hes this way |
| Well brother youre too blind to see |
| Its cause ellis dee aint free like you and me Get out of the street dont get high on my beat |
| Go on home the policeman warns |
| Just cause youre poor why do you declare war |
| I cant help the way that you were born |
| Why are they holdin him down |
| Hes spending his life on his knees |
| cause ellis dee aint free like you and me Got to help ellis |
| Got to help ellis |
| You know we got to help ellis ellis dee |
| Try and help ellis you and me Got to get to ellis hear his plea |
| Try and help ellis get free |
| Ellis got hooked, he got booked and he shook |
| In his cold little shivery cell |
| While out on the street in that same funky beat |
| Mister pusher was doing well |
| And ellis junior cries tears his daddy cant see |
| cause ellis dee aint free like you and me Got to help ellis |
| Got to help ellis |
| You know we got to help ellis ellis dee |
| Try and help ellis you and me Got to get to ellis hear his plea |
| Try and help ellis get free |
| cause ellis dee aint fee like you and me No ellis dee aint free like you and me |
