Marvin Gaye - Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)

Sir, why was it a game changer?

SGT (Join to see) after coming out the 60s into the 70s, with the Vietnam War and social consciousness; the song depicts the ghettos and bleak economic situations of inner-city America, and the emotional effects these have on inhabitants. In my opinion it made the ghetto more aware and take a look within for a better tomorrow.

The lyrics says it all:
Dah, dah, dah
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it you take it
Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', this ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no
Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
I can't pay my taxes
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yea, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God know where we're heading
Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Dah, dah, dah
