Lyrics " 17th Street "

Original text with translation

17th Street

Gil Scott-Heron, Brian Jackson

I’ve done a lot of travellin', seen a lot of pretty faces.

I’ve sung my way out blues songs in extraordinary places.

I come from 17th Street and that’s on the other side of town,

an' if you see me wit' my brothers

don’cha dare go no further

you know we gonna get down, down, down.

Some people think I’m crazy, they say gil,

«it mus' be in yo' mind."They tell me

«there jus' ain' no sane reazon the way

yawl get down ev’ry time.»

(I trytatellemthat):

«I come from 17th Street an'

that’s where the brothers don' mess around»

and if you lookin' for the music

an' we find out you can use it

you know we gonna get down, down, down.

If you lookin' for excitement you may need

only look next door

because the brothers from 17th Street

they don’t all live there anymore.

Some done moved to Harlem an'

Some moved way uptown, but if you

thinkin' bout the Spirit

an' you want to get near it

c’mon, c’mon an' get down, down, down.
