JUST ON THE MOVE TO LIMELIGHT

Lucky Dube 🗣🎙

Sitting by the door one morning
Looking at the children
Going to school,man
Then I thought about the ones in the streets
Moving up and down
Nowhere to go

No education,no future
Then I thought about their parents,man
Why do they suffer so much
If they really have parents
Why do they suffer so much?

If you really don't want no children
Why do you have them?
If you really don't want no children,man
Why why?

We can fight and overcome
We can stop children from the streets (×3)

It's cold winter,man
Moving bare-footed down khilo street,man
His father is relaxing in the best bar in the town
Asking them to fill his glass,man

His mother is kissing on another man
If you really don't want no children
Why do you have them?
If you really don't care about them
Why?

We can fight and overcome
We can stop children from the streets (×3)

I LOVE this Lucky Dube’s song Children in the streets 🎶❤️💛💚

Lyrics: The way it is

Didn't I raise my voice
High enough
For you

I was running like a
Fugitive
All the time

Risking rejection from
Own people
Yeah

Now that you got what
What you wanted
You don't even know
My name

It's so funny.....
We don't talk anymore

Briggs:
Be good to the people
On your way up
The ladder
Cause you'll need
Them on your
Way down

( Chorus (×4 ) )
That's the way it is
( the way it is )

( instrumental )

Didn't I raise fists
High enough
For you?

I guess I can't pat myself
On the shoulder
For a job well
Done

Dodging bullets in
The streets I
Was there...

Riskng rejection from
My own people

Now that you got what
You wanted
You don't even know
My name

Remember...

Briggs:
Be good to the people
On your way up
The ladder
Cause you'll need
Them on your
Way down

( Chorus )
That's the way it is
( the way it is )
The way it is
( the way it is )
That's the way it is
( the way it is )
That's the way it is
( the way it is )
That's the way it is
( the way it is )
That's the way it is
( the way it is )

(Instrumental )

That's the way it is
( the way it is )
( Be good to the poeple
On your way up
The ladder
'Cause you'll need them
On your way down )

That's the way it is
( the way it is )
( Be good to the poeple
On your way up
The ladder
'Cause you'll need them
On your way down )

( Chorus : till fade )
That's the way it is
( the way it is )
