Lyrics
You don't know me but I'm your brother
I was raised here in this living hell
You don't know my kind in your world
Fairly soon, the time will tell
You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the—
Take this message to my brother
You will find him everywhere
Wherever people live together
Tied in poverty's despair
Oh, you, telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
No more need for running, yeah
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
Oh, you, telling me the things you're gonna do for me
Whoa, now
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see
Taking it to the streets
No more need for running
Taking it to the streets
No need for more running, yeah
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets (Taking it, taking it)
Taking it to the streets (No need for more running, yeah)
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets (Oh, there's a party goin' on, yeah)
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets (Taking it, taking it)
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
