Takin' It To The Streets

(Album: Sounds ... And Stuff Like That!! - 1978)

[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
Fairly soon the time will tell, yes it will

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...

Taking it to the streets (Taking it to the streets)
Taking it to the streets (Taking it there, yeah)
Taking it to the streets (Taking it to the streets)
Taking 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...

Taking it to the streets (Oh, I'm taking it to the streets, yeah)
Taking it to the streets (Oh, follow my lead)
Taking it to the streets
Taking 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...

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
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets (Yes, I am; yes, I am)
Taking it to the streets (I wanna go; I wanna go)
Taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it
Taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it, 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, taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it
Taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
Taking it to the streets
Taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it
Taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it, taking it
Taking it to the streets (Repeat until end)
