ujamaa - steve cobb lyrics lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m a shop owner
i want your business
what must i do to convince you
that i’m here to service you

i live in the neighborhood
and my wares are just as good
why don’t you come and support me
the way you know you should

[chorus]
brother
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
sister
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
brother
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
sister
we can help ourselves with ujamaa

[verse 2]
i’m a working mother
i don’t have much money
i tried to spend my pennies
in my community
a big businеssman
you know he thinks he’s free
’cause hе makes a lot of money
but he’s black like me
he bought a big house on the hill
away from the likes of me
he makes all of his money
off of us you see
but he never reinvests
in the community
tell me why won’t he reinvest
in our community

i am man with a product and a plan
me need money to have the plan expand
the bank said no when i asked for help
where are my brothers who got all the wealth

they say god bless the child who’s got his own
though a child they bless can’t do much alone
who can i turn to if i can’t count on you
what is a small businessman to do

[chorus]
brother
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
sister
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
brother
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
sister
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
[bridge]
cooperative economics
cooperative economics
cooperative economics
cooperative economics

[chorus]
brother (cooperative economics)
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
sister (cooperative economics)
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
brother (cooperative economics)
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
sister (cooperative economics)
we can help ourselves with ujamaa

[verse 3]
everything we buy we sell
everything we need we make
everyone that works gets paid
what we don’t have we will create
everything we buy we sell
everything we need we make
everyone that works gets paid
what we don’t have we will create
[chorus]
brother (cooperative economics)
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
sister (cooperative economics)
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
brother (cooperative economics)
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
sister (cooperative economics)
we can help ourselves with ujamaa

brother (cooperative economics)
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
sister (cooperative economics)
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
brother (cooperative economics)
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
sister (cooperative economics)
we can help ourselves with ujamaa
