Lyrics of Takin' It to the Streets by The Doobie Brothers,James Taylor
verse
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
pre-chorus
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
chorus
(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it to the streets
(Takin' it to the streets)
No more need for running
(Takin' it to the streets)
Oh, na, na
verse
Take this message to my brother
You will find him everywhere
Wherever people live together
Tied in poverty's despair
pre-chorus
Oh, 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
chorus
(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it to the streets
(Takin' it to the streets)
No more need for running
(Takin' it to the streets)
Oh, yeah
chorus
(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it, takin' it
(Takin' it to the streets)
No more need for hiding
(Takin' it to the streets)
Oh, Lord
(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it to the streets

Oh, you
Telling me the things you're gonna do for me
Yeah, na
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see

(Takin' it to the streets)
No more need for running
(Takin' it to the streets)
Oh, yeah
chorus
(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it to the streets
(Takin' it to the streets)
Before it steps farther

Takin' it, takin' it
(Takin' it to the streets)
Hey, yeah, ha
chorus
(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it to the streets

No more need for running

No more need for hiding

Hey, yeah, yeah
outro

No more

Yeah, yeah

Takin' it, takin' it
(Takin' it to the streets)
