Listen To The Message

I’ve been depending on everybody else
To do for me, what I should be doing for myself
(Listen, people, to the message)
People are too busy doing their own thing
To stop and help me, I work on mine, oh Lord
(Listen, people, to the message)
I got to do my own thing (well), find my own way
Find my own panadol, then I know it will be mine
I can’t worry about what you think, I know…
Once I heard this old cliche
That God helps those, who help themselves
If you’re not hearin' me, listen… oh Lord
(Listen, people, to the message)
Whatever you get, let it be yours
Don’t wait for nobody
Ah, to help you through that old door, oh Lordy…
(Listen, people, to the message), oh no
Don’t be afraid to do your thing
Your thing is what you were born to do
Stop listening to people
Go ahead and do it your way
You oughta listen to the message (listen to the message)
Oh, listen (oh, listen)
(Listen to the message) oho… (oh, listen)
Open the door tonight, and help yourself
Whatever you want, reach out and take it
If you want a dime, go and sell that nickel
You oughta listen to the message (listen to the message)
Yeah (oh, listen)
(Listen to the message) oh Lord… (oh, listen)
Pick up your mind (listen to the message)
To do your own thing (oh, listen)
Oh, listen (listen to the message), hey
Listen to the message (oh, listen)
Oh, listen (listen to the message)
Help yourself (oh, listen) to what you want
(Listen to the message) oh, listen!
(Oh, listen) Hear this message
(Listen to the message) Do your thing
(Oh, listen) Oh Lord, hey
(Listen to the message) Aahhh…
(Oh, listen) Listen!
(Listen to the message) Hear this message
(Oh, listen) Right now
(Listen to the message)
(Oh, listen) Hear the message
Hear me out, listen to the message
Help yourself (help yourself), to what you want
Open the door tonight, take what you want
Hear the message, hey! (hey!)
Why… (why…), why… (why…)
Why… (why…), oh
Why don’t you (why don’t you)
Why don’t you (why don’t you)
Why don’t you (why don’t you)
Why don’t you (why don’t you)
Hear the message (hear the message)
Hear the message (hear the message)
Oh, listen! (oh, listen!), hey… (hey…)
Oh, listen!!!
