Lyrics Curtis Mayfield

Curtis Mayfield

I Plan to Stay a Believer

I Plan To Stay A Believer

I Plan To Stay A Believer

I Met A Frlend Of Mine The Other Day

He Said He Couldn't Stay

Because The World Was Going To End

At The End Of May.

Well, May Done Passed,

And EveryBody Still Sittin Here On Their Ass.

With Some Talk,

They're Now Waiting For The Judgment Day.

But Why Wait,

Why Don't You Look Around,

Haven't You Found,

That The Judgment Day

Is Already In Play,

For The Black,

And Now Come Time,

For The Old Faye

And I Plan To Stay A Believer

I Plan To Stay A Believer

I Plan To Stay A Believer

I Got An Indian Friend

Who Says He's Some Kin To Another Indian,

He says He's Filled With Hate

Because His Tribe They Waited Too Late

To Protest The Past

Instead They Just Sat There On Their Ass,

Signing On The Dotted Line,

When They Didn't Have Indian Lawyers At That Time.

We're Over 20 Million Strong

And It Wouldn't Take Long

To Save The Ghetto Child,

If We'd Get Off Our Ass,

$10 A Man Yearly

Think Awhile

20 Million Times 10 Yearly

Would Surely Then Set Our Brothers Free

What Congregation With Better Relations

Would Demand More Respect From Society...

I Plan To Stay A Believer

I Plan To Stay A Believer

I Plan To Stay A Believer
