Who`s There? lyrics

Artist  : Guru 
Song : Who`s There?



 Send "Who`s There?" Ringtone to your Cell 

 [Guru] 

These distraught thoughts of a single mother in a
homeless shelter 

About pain and heartache, ain't nothing you can
tell her 

The case worker says that she should find a job 

But does this worker know what kind of jobs that
there are? 

Degrading things like cleaning up people's vomit 

For a little bit of dough, and plus your brain
gets nothing from it 

I'm smarter than that this girl thinks to herself


I'm worth more than that, she thinks to herself 

She pours a drink for herself while she stares
out the window 

This guy says he got work for her, maybe she
should go to him yo 

The money's good, and plus he'll dress her up
nice 

She left her baby's daddy cuz he beat her up
twice 

She don't really like sex 

But she hates welfare checks 

And where there's money, that's where she thinks
there's respect 

And what's this girl's purpose? Will she
self-destruct? 

When this sisters about to go down, who's there
to help her up? 


(Les Nubians singing Chorus) 


[Guru] 

These distraught thoughts of a young man in a
rooming house 

This messed up life, this poverty, he could do
without 

But what options does he have when all hope is
gone? 

A brother gotta eat, plus all the Henny and all
the smoke is gone 

All it takes is one quick stick 
 

Gotta fill his belly now, which vic should he
pick? 

He does his dirt all by his lonely, forget his
homies 

He doesn't fell like splitting any loot, them
suckas be acting phony 

So much potential but all gone to waste 

Now he lurks in night, with a loaded gun on his
waist 

Too late for this lost soul, his life's in a
chokehold 

Mentality is weak, and doing crime is all he
knows 

Never caring who he hurts, as long as he's taking
money 

Forget an education, and legal ways of making
money 

And what's this kid's purpose? Will he
self-destruct? 

When a brother's about to go down, who's there to
help him up? 


(Les Nubians singing Chorus) 


[Guru] 

Who's there for my people on the streets? (Who's
there? Who's there?) 

Who's there for my people who got nothing to eat?
(Who's there? Who's there?) 

They build more prisons, and close down schools 

Who's there to teach the children the golden
rules?(Who's there? Who's there?) 

Who's there for my people in the streets?(Who's
there? Who's there?) 

Who's there for my people who got nothing to
eat?(Who's there? Who's there?) 

They break our family, neglect the elderly 

Who's there to bring a cure? Where's the
remedy?(Who's there? Who's there?)
