Ellis Dee
Intro:
2X A / D ///
Verse I
A D G D
Why is he cussin' and calling descusin' the city that's not his home
G D
He never smiles or keeps up with styles he is black and he is all alone
A
And you ask why he's this way, well brother your too blind to see,
D G D
It's cause Ellis Dee ain't free like you and me
Verse II
Get out of the streets, don't get high on my beats go on home the poiceman warned
Just cause your poor why do you declare war I can't help the way that you were born
Why are they holdin' him down, he's spendin' his life on his knees
It's cause Ellis Dee ain't free like you and me

Verse III
Ellis got hooked he got booked and he shook in his cold and shivery cell
While out on the street in that same funky beat mr. pusher was doin' well
