Quit It Lyrics by Miriam Makeba

0

You take drugs to psych your mind
You take wine to forget about time
You create a world of your own
Where the truth will never be known

Well brother don't you know now
That you're killing yourself
And nobody else

Why don't you quit it now
Yeah why don't you quit it know
You better quit it now
I said you better quit it now

Cloud nine no responsability
Your forbidden space feeling good
Running away will never make you
A man
'cause reality 's gonna bring you down

But brother don't you know now
That you're killing yourself
And nobody else

You better quit it now
Why don't you quit it now
Lord have mercy
Why don't you quit it now
Yeah you better quit it now

You got a problem see a doctor
Doctor can't help see your brother
Why don't you try talking to your mama sometime
Remember she brought you into this world

But brother don't you know now
That you're killing yourself
And nobody else
