Quit It Songtext
von Miriam Makeba

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

Cloud nine no responsibility
You'e floating in space, feeling good
Running away will never make you a man
′Cause reality is gonna bring you down


Well, brother don′t you know now
That you're killing yourself
And nobody else?

You better quit it now, hoo!
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

Well, 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
