Lyrics of Brown Baby by Billy Paul
intro
Concentrate and open up your mind
chorus
Brown baby, uh, you gotta spread the news around
Brown baby, uh, don't you let your people down
Don't you let them down
verse
I only want to take a few minutes of your time
Try and concentrate and open up your mind
Now you all heard the story
Now come on and listen to the truth
chorus
Brown baby, uh, you gotta spread the news around
Brown baby, uh, don't you let your people down
Don't let me down
verse
There's three sides to every story
There's the right, there's the wrong, there's the truth
Makes no difference who's right, it's what's right
That gives you proof
pre-chorus
I've heard a lot of people say to each his own
The only thing that's wrong is that it's bigger than what you know
chorus
Brown baby, you gotta spread the news around
You've gotta make your father proud
Gotta make him proud
verse
We gotta stick together and help each other
In times of need
Gotta be extra strong because you know what happens
To the weak
pre-chorus
Now you all heard the story
But come on and listen to the truth
chorus
Brown baby, uh, you gotta spread the news around
Brown baby, uh, you gotta make your father proud
outro
Make him proud, brown baby
Stand tall
Keep on, keep on, keep on getting up
Keep on getting up
Brown baby
Keep on getting up
outro
I gotta tell it like it is, I ain't telling no lies
You gotta love your brother
And brothers stop kicking brothers
Sisters, love your brother
And don't kick him, when he's down
outro
Stick together
I'm gonna let everybody know the truth
Open up your mind, and try to concentrate
Make your people proud
Brown baby
Writer(s): Leon Huff, Kenneth Gamble
