Curtis Mayfield — Dont Push

Street walk Money talks For a nickel and a dime I'll blow your mind Kids on the block Giving it up for me And they don't care And I'll never set 'em free Child dies Mama cries All because Some liar told him lies Man says Its just a shame But in a line up He's the one to blame Don't push I'll turn you out Don't push You'll go down for the count Don't push My words to you yeah If you push You'll be the one to lose Easy (?) You can't win cause you can't lose This kind of girl sits strong baby She's been haunting you so very long Damned if you do, damned if you don't Taste the sweet (?) Luxury to flaunt Drive you crazy (Drive you crazy) Make you hazy (Make you hazy) Mind so lazy I won't knock your groove Don't push me I'll turn you out Don't push Pain is in, pain begins Don't push me Turn you around, knock you down If you push You'll be the one to lose Watch out who you hex You'll be the one who loses You'll be the one Careful when you speak You'll be the one (?) You'll be the one to lose Take it to the street Don't push Take it to the street Take it to the street Take it to the street Take it to the street Don't push Don't push Watch out who you meet Careful when you speak Take it to the street You may take your defeat Got no time to eat Take it to the street
