Curtis Mayfield
Love to the People
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Love to the people
Little bit of warning to the cold
Little bit of brotherhood
Guarantee it can be good for the soul

[Verse 2]
Well, nothing but beans on the table
Livin' the blues, paying the dues
I'm not hardly able
A lot of folks thay say there is no way
And don't look to another day
Well, there's another way

[Chorus]
Love to the people
Little bit of warning to the cold
Little but of brotherhood
Guarantee it can be good for the soul
[Bridge]
In the morning - it's alright
I'm not givin' up - this little pride
I got a lifetime - to keep 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

[Chorus]
Well, well, love to the people
Little bit of warning to the cold
Little but of brotherhood
Guarantee it can be good for the soul
Love to the people
Little bit of warning to the cold
Little but of brotherhood
Guarantee it can be good for the soul

[Bridge]
Ah, ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah

[Outro]
In the morning - it's alright
I'm not givin' up - this little pride
I've got a lifetime - to keep a-livin' mine
The way you do it - is to get right to it
In the morning - it's alright
I'm not givin' up - this little pride
I've got a lifetime - to keep a-livin' mine
The way you do it - is to get right to it
