Miriam Makeba - Quit It Lyrics

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 now?
You better quit it now
I said you better quit it now

Cloud nine, no responsibility
You're floating in space, feeling good
Running away will never make you a man
'Cause reality is 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 sister, don't you know now
That you're killing yourself
And nobody else

You better quit it now (Yeah, yeah yeah)
You better quit it now
