I tried to transcribe Tina Turner's ad-lib at the end of Living For The City (Stevie Wonder wrote it and sang it first), but I can't make out some words. I want to know her words from minute 3:25 on. youtube.com / watch?v=I9yfkGRlE_c (I can't post a link. Please delete the blank spaces.) They ain't hardly got no ... They know ... Hardly a roof over their head
