Curtis Mayfield Lyrics
Curtis Mayfield - Pusherman Lyrics
I'm your mamma, I'm your daddy
I'm that nigga in the alley
I'm your doctor when in need
Want some coke, have some weed
Curtis Mayfield - Superfly Lyrics
Darkest of night
With the moon shining bright
There's a set goin' strong
Lotta things goin' on
Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up Lyrics
Hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
So in the mean time, move on up towards your destination
Though you may find from time to time complications
Curtis Mayfield - Keep On Keeping On Lyrics
Everybody gather round and listen to my song
I've only got one
We who are young, should now take a stand
Curtis Mayfield - We the People Who Are Darker Than Blue Lyrics
We people who are darker than blue
Are we gonna stand around this town
And let what others say come true?
We're just good for nothing they all figure
More Curtis Mayfield - We the People Who Are Darker Than Blue Lyrics
Curtis Mayfield - New World Order Lyrics
Darkness no longer, a child is born
Mother shed tears of joy as baby test his lungs
My daddy's not there where he ought to be
Somewhere in Georgia, skinning and shooting craps on his knees
Curtis Mayfield - Here but I'm Gone Lyrics
How did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?
Curtis Mayfield - Right On for the Darkness Lyrics
I am blind and I cannot see
You are there, your petty evil don't bother me
Playing all the clothes you wear
Laugh at me, pressed and clean, and I don't care
Curtis Mayfield - So In Love [Single Edit] Lyrics
So in love
You do so many things with that smilin' face??
So in love
Every time we kiss, it's such a pleasant taste
