About Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)
Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) stands as a defining song in both Marvin Gaye's career and the history of socially conscious music, released on October 14, 1971, as the final single from his groundbreaking What's Going On. The song, co-written by Gaye and James Nyx Jr. and produced by Gaye himself, emerged during a period of intense social upheaval, drawing inspiration from the economic disparities, racial tensions, and urban decay that characterized America's inner cities in the early 1970s. .
Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) Lyrics
[00:41.29] Rockets, moon shots
[00:46.41] Spend it on the have-nots
[00:51.55] Money, we make it
[00:56.63] 'Fore we see it, you take it
[01:01.02] Oh, make me wanna holler
[01:03.26] The way they do my life, yeah
[01:07.06] Make me wanna holler
[01:08.56] The way they do my life
[01:10.81] This ain't livin', this ain't livin'
[01:14.58] No, no baby, this ain't livin'
[01:18.62] No, no, no, no
[01:22.09] Inflation, no chance
[01:27.43] To increase finance
[01:32.63] Bills pile up, sky high
[01:37.57] Send that boy off to die
[01:41.79] Oh, make me wanna holler
[01:44.40] The way they do my life
[01:47.52] Yeah, make me wanna holler

[02:50.81] And throw up both my hands
[02:53.57] Yeah, it makes me wanna holler
[02:55.92] And throw up both my hands
[02:59.53] Crime is increasing
[03:04.44] Trigger happy policing
[03:09.85] Panic is spreading
[03:14.61] God knows where we're heading
[03:18.45] Oh baby, it make me wanna holler
[03:21.68] Babe, they don't understand
[03:24.84] It make me wanna holler
