Curtis Mayfield - People Get Ready Lyrics

Ah, man..Just kill me now. just too bad, too down, too cool.

MC in NJ

name 1 song from 2017-2020 that is better, you just can't

One of the greatest songs of all time.

I first heard this song in High School. The
Impression's came to school and sang it. That was in 1968. I loved it then and STILL do. By most accounts it's the most copy copied song ever. From Aretha Franklin to Led Zeppelin. From The Rolling Stones to Rod Stewart.

Rip to kobe and gigi and the other victims in the plane god be with you all

This song cross racial barriers and religious line, it brought people together. It kept the Civil Rights Movement going.A great Song.

0:33 don't need no chickeeeen

yes indeed.

Rest In Peace Kobe Bryant.

I find comfort in this song.

Real Music of my time brought me here, Young’uns 🎶🥰🎶

Anybody remember watching the HBO miniseries, The Corner
It was on back in the day. This song reminds me of Gary, DeAndre's father. Good series based on a true story if you haven't seen it. You missing out! Much love

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Also MASS INCARCERATION is also one of the number ONE things that IS Exterminating us black African people here in the USA so black girls and boys please LIKE and LOVE each other and therefore please STOP fighting each other and hurting and MURDERING each other and then PLEASE pray to God more as to direct your life and what you are to say as if says in the bible there is power in the tongue which gets us in trouble and with the law and God will direct you what to do when you come in contact with the police as they FEAR us blacks and they want to Murder us and lock us up. PLease listen to part 13 1st of the movie Maafa21 in which dr Martin Luther king jr niece speaks. and see the movie Just Mercy. God and Jesus ARE black African.

MLK weekend.. I always think about this song

Black people here in america you ARE NOT a Nigger,and to black African people here in america,AND in Africa and around the world you ARE NOT a Nothing,you once lived in southern Europe and were very GREAT and you ARE NOT ugly, you and youall black African people are BEAUTIFUL. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL. the ancient Egyptians WERE us black African people. Stop having ABORTIONS and taking birth control and interracial mixing and MARRYING black African people and stop being homosexuals as all those are the main ways that our race is being EXTERMINATED. And stop Murdering other black boys black boys and black African people. Please listen to part 13 1st of the movie Maafa21.

Traveling lite 😑

I heard this performed at Edison HS in Philadelphia, in 1967. I fell in love with it then. I still love it.

Curtis Mayfield's music brought social consciousness to the forefront, a musical GENIUS that got inducted into the ROCK and ROLL HALL OF FAME....RIGHT ON!!✌

AMEN my brothers and sisters ,that's all I can say.

No one cooler than Curtis mayfield.

Thank you for all the shit that you been through. And all the shit that you gonna through.

still my favorite song of all time

A song so great that Bob Marley wrote One Love out of inspiration.

He died 20 years ago today! God Bless HIm! He was so talented and wrote songs that will live forever. Like this one ! 54 years old this song and is and it still flys!!! God he was damn good! Yes you were Mr. Mayfield!!

That is beautiful

Kids now days will NEVER know what they MISSED in the 60's and 70's

WHO STILL LISTENING DEC.2019

That would be me!

Sarah Jane , 2020!🎶🥰🎶

yes, am ready always. this man had the pulse of the times in his hands. still relevant.

I'm STILL listening in January 2020.❤

Great song

The guy was a genius.

He's sincerely worth listening to, a special edition to poetry and lyrical theater

I'm just a white guy from Rome in 2019 (although I've heard this song the first time in 1990s) but what I know for sure is that this song deserves so much more

Great song.

Finding this sung in the Sunday Mass, I was kinda thunderstruck to see how appropriate and just as amazed. - NYC, 12/117/2019

Feel good music

Fantastic!

This song reminds me of all my loved ones in heaven and one day I'll be able to see them ❤️ but for now I'm enjoying the memories with my husband Calvin I love you darling 😘💕 and I thank God for you 🙏 kisses 💋 hugs

We love you Curtis thank you for the beautiful music ❤️❤️❤️

What a song. Inspired guitarists from Jimi to John Mayer.

Curtis put out a winner when put out people get ready I love that classic it explains God's coming all we gotta do is have faith I listen to his song every other day I love it he was a music poet

God is speaking through Curtis knowing we would hear his words today. God is so amazing.

Curtis Mayfield was at the cusp of the changes a coming.

Who's listing 2019 beautiful🖤

------------->>> also , wonderful , fantastic picture show !!!

Now that I know who I am, I understand the words.

R.I.P. Great Grandpa Tim

Interesting technique !!

♥️✊🏻✌🏻

Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
All the born again of God, adopted sons and daughter, that are saints, must be in Christ and Christ in them, received by faith in the gospel. And the bride of Jesus must be made ready before the LORD JESUS returns back to his own earth to claim us.

Because No unrepentant sinners will inherit the kingdom of God in Christ. 1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall NOT inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.


2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

even though I was born in 1977 I still love curtis mayfield . thanks pops for turning me on to some mayfield and R.I.P to you pops . you have no idea how much I love you and miss you man .

there must be repentance toward God, and faith toward (or IN) our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21) ... otherwise no salvation no "ticket" for the train to Heaven. the Lord Jesus Christ said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me."

Thank the lord

Inspired by this song

This song is so moving!

i MISS YOU

a mixture of Bob Marley

All you old folk got stories of hearing this in Jail, in the millitary and decades ago, whilst my millenial ass found it on Spotify! LMFAO!

But that's the beauty of good music, defies age and time. I'm not a religious man, but I'm a spiritual one, so I'll say God bless to everyone listening, and God bless Curtis Mayfield wherever he is in the 2nd life!

Fucking millenial hipster...

Beautiful, beautiful song.

LoJack your a wise man. Thanks for your inspiration. God Bless you!

SONG LYRICSl.❤️...People get ready, there's a train comin' 
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board 
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' 
You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord

People get ready, there's a train to Jordan 
Picking up passengers coast to coast 
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them 
There's hope for all among those loved the most 
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner whom would hurt all mankind 
Just to save his own 
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner 
For there is no hiding place against the kingdoms throne

People get ready there's a train comin' 
You don't need no baggage, just get on board 
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' 
You don't need no ticket, just thank the lord.....🙏❤️😇

Couldn't find this video with lyrics? by Curtis Mayfield! So here they are! 😇❤️

IF CURTIS MAYFIELD SAW THIS SPIRITUAL TRAIN COMING BACK IN 1965, WITH ALL THAT'S HAPPENING TODAY, AND KNOWLEDGE AT YOUR FINGERTIP, YOU SHOULD CERTAINLY SEE SOMETHING. 2019 THE 400 YEARS IS UP. DO YOU GET MY DRIFT.

Potessi ballarla con te 😪💔

Get On The Bus! When Cousin Eddie the state trooper comes aboard..

I remember Glendora my mother and Julius my father used to listen to this song and my father had the album,what a heartfelt song for the time of the FIRST civil rights struggle in this country but now in this country we are having to deal with a continuation of the NON- HUMAN that us blacks here in america were treated like in slavery because now Planned Parenthood and Abortion is EXTERMINATING us black people out of america,therefore we won't be here in the FUTURE america in order to enjoy the rights,Freedoms and improved equality gains that we now have. So we still have a way to go to get FULL equality,justice ,and freedom here in america.Also the 14th amendment which guarantees us blacks rights since we were slaves in this country is not being applied to us blacks to protect our life and treat us like a citizen who is now considered a PERSON,as in slavery we were considered an ANIMAL. Well those rights are not being given to the Mexicans and we blacks are STILL considered an ANIMAL here in america.And when you look at Curtis Mayfield as he sings this very Beautiful song he looks just like a Yoruba or Hausa man from West AFrica,which is were they brought most of our forefathers from when they took them to america here and made and had them as their SLAVE. So now we need to go back home to Africa,as this year 2019 is a very prophetic year of our return as the 400 years that we were predicted to be a slave is up this year.Please listen to part 13 1st of the movie Maafa21 in which Dr Martin Luther King jr niece speaks. And black girls please STOP having Abortions and interracial mixing and Marrying and taking birth control and fighting and Murdering one another and they are the MAIN ways that they are planning to Exterminate us blacks and it IS working. Also STOP being HOMOSEXUALS. Black boys and men youall also please STOP interracial mixing and marrying. Over 6,000 years ago this WHOLE world was filled with nobody but us black African people and through mixing and MARRYING we became Extinct,and it is called blanquamiento and soon we will be EXTINCT over this whole planet. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL. HAVE 2 BABIES WITH EACH OTHER BLACK WOMEN AND MEN.

Hereing this song makes me think of my dear moms who i miss so much

this dude never got into second gear

People Get Ready2020♥️✊🏻✌🏻

Curtis Mayfield rips

you just thank the LORD! praise to His holy NAME which is too holy to even be pronounced in a sinful world.

I was 9 yrs old when this song came out listening to curtis mayhew with my dad . If you were having day just put this song on when I turn 19 my dad gave me his 66 mustang and it had a 8 track and curtis mayhew. Was on guess the kids now dont know what good music is. Growing up in the 70s was great no black and white crap was going on and watching American band stand the good old days are gone. If people just stop with the racist crap it would be great I have more black friends than white friends I dont care what color of skin you have but if full of hate that where it start so people let's get ready

RIP Gary and DeAndre.

嗚呼、なんて美しい歌なんだ‼️サンキュー😆💕✨

A very powerful song......... bless him

Curtis was a true angle, He wrote before it happened. He was definitely ahead of his time. Just look around now........

Before one love there was people get ready

The Kingdom's message as gifted by Mr. Mayfield, there's hope, dreams and our Creator's love open to all. Kindness and respect are gold, it's the cool water for our soul, Curtis thank you for the inspiring song. Another classic that strums the heart.

Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart love this song.... do it beautifully. Curtis was like a cool cup of water in a parched land.

Amen, you don't need no ticket, You just thank the Lord.
