Little Brother (Make a Way) Songtext
von Albert King

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
