Lyrics Quincy Jones – Takin’ It To The Streets
Text:
Luther Vandross:
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
Oh, you, keep telling me the things you’re gonna do for me
I ain’t blind, I ain’t blind and I don’t like what I think I see, and I’m…
Takin’ it to the streets (Taking it to the streets)
Takin’ it to the streets (Taking it there, yeah)
Takin’ it to the streets (Taking it to the streets)
Takin’ it to the streets
Gwen Guthrie:
Take this message to my sisters and my brothers
You will find them most everywhere
Wherever people are living together
You see they’re all tied in poverty’s despair
Oh, you, oh you, you, you, keep telling me the things you’re gonna do for me
I’m not blind and I really don’t like what I think I see, so I’m…
Takin’ it to the streets (Oh, I’m taking it to the streets, yeah)
Takin’ it to the streets (Oh, follow my lead)
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Luther Vandross & Gwen Guthrie:
You, oh you, keep telling me the things you’re gonna do for me
I ain’t blind, I ain’t blind and I don’t like what I think I see…
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets (Yes, I am; yes, I am)
Takin’ it to the streets (I wanna go; I wanna go)
Takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it
Takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it
Takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it
Takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it, takin’ it
Takin’ it to the streets (Repeat until end)
