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
