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) No more need for running (Taking it to the streets) 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 (Taking it to the streets) No more need for running (Taking it to the streets) Taking it to the streets (Taking it to the) 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 (Taking it to the streets) No more need for running (Taking it to the streets) Yeah, yeah (Taking it to the streets) Taking it to the streets (Taking it to the streets) Before it steps farther (Taking it to the streets) Oh, lord (Taking it to the streets) Taking it, taking it (Taking it to the streets) Hey, yeah ha (Taking it to the streets) Taking it to the streets (Taking it to the streets) No more need for running (Taking it to the streets) No more need for hiding (Taking it to the streets) Yeah, yeah, yeah (Taking it to the streets) No more (Taking it to the streets) Yeah, yeah (Taking it to the streets) Taking it, taking it (Taking it to the streets)
