Neneh Cherry - Inna City Mamma Lyrics
New York - Just like I pictured it - skyscrapers and everything
Inna city love, you crushed me into a pulp - I trusted you
When I loved you from a distance
And your skyline made me a promise
In your city to own your streets
Where I'd strut covered in money
Shattered dreams. It ain't funny
Now I look at you with tears in my eyes
The good the bad the ugly
As I start to cry I search for the sky
Taste the breeze and watch a block of docking clouds, they're coming.
Inna City Mamma
Your cold blooded ways
Inna city love
From the gutter
So destructive when you sing your blues
I want to love you baby
I don't mean maybe baby, but I need everything you got
You can't break your promise
I'm inna city hunger, you think you're tough I'm stronger
If you're weak I'll eat you up
I'm gonna touch you where you've never been touched before
And by your spine I'll bruise your veins and touch your very core
Let my concrete be your red carpet
My shooting galleries your personal starship
Give me all your dreams, this city loves you
Use my roots to deliver your body
Under my skies where you make your money
You rejected love, but this city loves you
Inna City Mamma
You bore another child to be victim of
Your cold blooded ways
Inna city love
From the gutter
So destructive when you sing your blues
Inna city love, inna city mamma, inna city love
You hurt me - real bad - inna city love
You meant to love me and you cut me up into too many little pieces
But I wanna love you
I trusted you and you crushed me into a pulp
Inna city mamma

The music world needs nowadays strong women again. Neneh Cherry excelled in transforming the suffering and wounds of the past of black woman into a force to hope and look forward always with pride. She contributed so much to the way rapper, black woman are now treated respectfully.
KRS1 I'm Still#1
Awesome!
History in the making ...Neneh Cherry everytime ...xX
the 90s started so hopefully with songs like this one and then gradually it all turned to crap.

Still such a brilliant chewn
Just counts as an 80s hit, released in December 1989.
My favorite song and singer from my childhood......so much memories
Winning Youth Force
So soulful, so sexy, SO BADADSSSSS
Toen waren vrouwen echte artiesten
I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day after 25 odd years. Forgot how heavy the bass was
I was 19 and still love this song !
16 year old,summertime,the good days😊
So talented! She should have been a much bigger star! I love all her stuff
1:33 lol rip right earbud
She's got thé most beautiful brown eyes and sexy mouth. 3:06 ..3:09 omg.
killer video.
yo i m ashamed never heard this tune before this is fiyah
underrated song! Still love it after almost 28 years....
Love the song (and Neneh) but she needed a choreographer or the one she had needed to be fired.
That why I love priceless MUSIC, it last a LIFETIME TIME. I was in the 5th grade and Now 37, time dose not exist
HOY NENEH JE BENT NOG INGESCHREVE MAAR NIET NEER BIJ DE 12 VROUWEN I NOG DORGAAN MET HET AFSPELLEN VAN JE VIDEO DANK JE VOOR JESPONENE INSCHRIJVING DANKJEWEL WOUTER JOANNES VEEL LIEFDE
lieve Neneh ik vind dat in ons huis ook kinderen van mij een plaats verdienen al ken ik hun moeder niet wil ik ze plaats geven dit lijkt mij allen meer vreugde geven daar er ook nog kinderen gaan geboren worden wau ik jouw vragen als queen dank je wel wouter joannes
1989 was an awesome year
immortal woman, irmortal neh neh musics - great funk volume bassss
Neneh chery heerlijk om jouw liefde vor muziek te ervaren jij bent echt een heel leker gevoel gevende muziek ina ccity love
i feel it babe dank jewel wouter joannes
In this vid she kind of looks half Swedish lol - beautiful woman-beautiful voice
I saw her on the street, like, 2 years ago, and the fist thought that came to my mind was "Inna City Love"....
I love mama!!!
take notes everyone...oh wait everyone did
And they say,Eazy E, Tupac and Biggie were great lyricists, she's better than all of them, she can write and perform songs without saying "fuck" every 10 seconds.
you know it....nenehs lyrics are raw and real....so underrated and this song is more true today than ever
alain frigon she cool & speaks from the heat
Good old Neneh Cherry. She's the nest. 1989 lives on forever and ever!!!
How I wanted that hair of hers!!! Back then so popular, and those earrings...
.....now I look at you with tears in my eyes....
je l'aime trop!!!
I couldn't really take her seriously... being an Afrocentric mixed race negro... and then she went off and had white kids lol... That's not black pride.
@2PaCaLypSe157
Who? i call it how i see it.
well your black pride may have an other definition then.
@2PaCaLypSe157
You aren't proud of your race if you run off having kids that look nothing like you. It's called self hate. Dont be stupid. A majority of these mixed breeds hate their black side anyways.
Oh shut the fuck up already. You're probably low key racist. I think I've heard enough of your fake "i dont care about skin color" BS. Everybody does. Especially you whites. Oh and guess what? People do choose who they fall in love with. @*****
kek, laqueesha detected
"Raw Like Sushi" is a masterpiece but this version of "Inna City Mamma" was always way way better than the LP version.
+antunivanovic I'm with you on the masterpiece part. I like this version but I like the layering in the original too.
I agree I have the original copy of the vhs The rise of Neneh Cherry!
shit man in 3 years this song is going to be 30 years old
tough... cool.... sexy... classic...
I think
Ridiculously beautiful.
Ridiculously indeed
CoOl la MEUF

greatest 90s funk time forever last's generations 2 generations
Gaaf he! Neneh Cherry ♥
Neneh knew she was fine, too. So many close up face shots. Nice song.

@osaro runner Me too. It's just punchier or something.
oh, those were times.. yesterday, when i was young..**
When I loved you....

1989 was a good year, i wanna live that year all over again please give me a de lorean (Back to the future car) we need you Emmet Brown :)
1989? fuk iam old
1989 wasn't that long ago..lol
Way better than the album version - although Raw like sushi is a masterpiece.
Great song, I like this version better than the cd version.
Also, how did get such high video quality from an almost 20 year old VHS tape!?
Neneh, still better than all the rest
Urban art rap at its finest.
Maybe so but Neneh Cherry is no All American girl, she's part Sierra-Leone and part Swedish.
@RastaSaiyaman Correct..
+RastaSaiyaman Doesn't matter, her style is ALL AMERICAN.
a good dancing song-she really jams
I am listener 101.270
i love Neneh's dancing moves from 3:00 till the end...
i always loved her hair...those curls n that skin tone...man, she was a sexy thang!!
This is a timeless classic! Period
Back in the day I use to play the brakes off of my Raw Like Sushi cassette to the point where I had to get another one. Looks like I'll digging it out again tonight.
EAT THIS-beounce,rehanna....
ThanX Neneh Cherry for BEST entertainmant back in the 80s
CLassic Shit
Geil-100% MUSIC
very much emotion in this song .......!
good for you son dont mind the sulky people down here i care !
Excuse me if i do care. Nowadays most of the teenagers don't care or like this line if music, they prefer rap or pretending being a hard rock and metal fan just to get on the nerves of their parents. So I'm proud of being 16 and have hears good enough to appreciate this incredible singer.
I'm only 16 and prefer that sound than anything the "artists" can make.
so beautiful and such a good song.. love to everyone who likes this
@696BabyDoll Good for you! I love all kinds of music but the late 80's and the 90's were awesome! I love the album too! She was ahead of her time and so misunderstood!
@MoRobi0515 Rip it and share it, mate!
I still have my VHS and it's intact!!!
Can't believe this is now well over 20 years old...and yet it overshadows virtually anything that the UK urban music scene can produce today.
long time since iv heard this!
love her moves loool
nenah still rocks after all this time,im almost 39,still love her sounds
this lady rocks what a g8 album
Don't care about age, still good song and good for the future.
@696BabyDoll i totally agree with you! as a teenager back then and as i 36yo now!
Simply beautiful.
@marselus88 Neneh is low key these days. She is a band called Cirkus that does not do tours in the US (as far as I know) ... very indie ... she hangs with the Massive Attack crew and her band ...
x
she is SO sexy!!!
I LOVE NENEH CHERRY
simply...
p.s and im 44
I LOVE NENEH CHERRY
simply...
@Andyontherocks yeah neneh must get a great come back,don´t she?
@raztata a share same opinion as you
@696BabyDoll i am 47 but have the same opinion to the text as you gr. su
damn, so fuckin dope, she's hot also, straight bomb jams coming from her, anybody knows what happened with her?
what's the name of this version of the song and where did it came out? this one's not on the album, if i'm right.
this has dated SO SO well. and yeah - i love this album so so much!
classic track that still holds up today! her music was way ahead! and people give are saying urban/black music is top of the charts...this was years ago and still sounfs ace! neneh come back!
It is hereby proven. If your dad is African and your mum is Swedish you become very beautiful
heh heh 2:48
Nice quality.
