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.

Takin it to the streets
Takin it to the streets
Takin it to the streets
Takin it to the streets

Take this message to my brother
You will find him everywhere
Wherever people live together
Tied in poverty's despair
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

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 to the streets.
