Lyrics Curtis Mayfield

Curtis Mayfield

Love to the People

Well! Fallin' in - out of the streets again

Unemployment lines - a lot of people standing in

News is bad on every TV show

So I tune in my radio - talkin' 'bout

Love to the people

Little bit of warning to the cold

Little but of brotherhood - guaranteed

It can be good for the soul

Well! Nothing but beans on the table

Livin' the blues - paying the dues

I'm not hardly able

A lot of folks they say there is no way

And don't look to another day

Well there's another way

Love to the people

Little bit of warning to the cold

Little but of brotherhood - guaranteed

It can be good for the soul

In the morning - it's alright

I'm not givin' up - up this little pride

I got a lifetime - to keep a-livin' mine

The way you do it - is to get right to it

Sometimes I think before our life is gone

We'll see the kingdom come

Love to the people

Little bit of warning to the cold

Little but of brotherhood - guaranteed

It can be good for the soul

In the morning - it's alright

I'm not givin' up - up this little pride

I got a lifetime - to keep a-livin' mine

The way you do it - is to get right to it
