Black Caesar Page #6

Synopsis: Tommy Gibbs is a tough kid, raised in the ghetto, who aspires to be a kingpin criminal. As a young boy, his leg is broken by a bad cop on the take, during a payoff gone bad. Nursing his vengeance, he rises to power in New York City's Harlem. Angry at the racist society around him, both criminal and straight, he sees the acquisition of power as the solution to his rage. He performs a free-lance hit on a Mob contract to attract the attention of the head of a Mafia family. Reluctantly accepted into 'The Family,' he grows increasingly autonomous and aggressive, eventually starting a gang war.

I shoulda took better care of you, Joe.

But I wanna go home

Let me tell you

I wanna go home

Is it all right if a man needs to go home

I don't believe you understand me

I wanna go home

Let me be proud of

where I came from when I go home

I know I wanna go home

I know I wanna go home

Oh, let me go home

Let me go home

Let me go home

Joe.

When they go and come

and live in New York City

And the street's no place to be,

but there you are

So you try hard or you die hard

No one really gives a good damn

You try hard and you die hard

Nobody gives a damn

Here's a dime, boy

Give me a shine, boy

Down and out in New York City

Got nowhere to be,

but where can you go

When you're down and out

in New York City

I'm never, never, never

gonna get that way again

Whoo!

Down and out in New York City

Got nowhere to be,

but where can you go

When you're down and out

in New York City

I'm never, never, never

gonna get that way again

Whoo!

No! Lord, no

No, no, not me

When you need a friend

When you want a friend

Gonna get myself together

in the morning

Gonna leave it all on the midnight train

Oh, the fat cats and the bad hats

are doin' me a real big favour

Because the fat cats

and the bad hats play it all real good

Here's a dime, boy

Give me a shine, boy

When they go and come

and live in New York City

And the street's no place to be,

but there you are

So you try hard or you die hard

No one really gives a good damn

You try hard and you die hard

Nobody gives a damn

Here's a dime, boy

Give me a shine, boy

Down and out in New York City

Got nowhere to be,

but where can you go

When you're down and out

in New York City

I'm never, never, never

gonna get that way again

Whoo!

Down and out in New York City

Got nowhere to be,

but where can you go

When you're down and out

in New York City

I'm never, never, never

gonna get that way again

Whoo!

No! Lord, no

No, no, not me
