Little Brother (Make A Way)

Now you young folks is ravin' about

How bad you wanna be free

But I wanna tell you what it was like in my day

For an' old man like me

Are you ready for this?

Now you listen

Take it on, little brother, and make a way

I said, take it on little brother

Take it further

Now I had to work ev'ryday

On my job, I didn't get much pay

Had to say "Yes, sir" to the other man

I was too confused to understand

Had to things, yeah, against my will

If I hadn't looked further

You wouldn't have made it

Take it on, little brother

Take it further

I said take it on, little brother an' make a way

Now you've got the future in your hand

Now don't you be no lazy man

We laid the ground, made the way for you

Come on and show us, that you're proud of us

You have a hard time to get through

But keep on pushin'

We're right behind you

Take it on, little brother

Take it further

I said take it on, little brother an' make a way

I said take it on, little brother (take it on)

Take it further (take it on)

Take it on (take it on), little brother (take it on)

And make a way (take it on)

Uh, take it on, little brother
