Mayfield, Curtis - Blue Monday People Lyrics

Blue Monday people.memories

It's tha Criminal Manne

Real shit right here

Mayfield an Hutch is a Memphis 10 Anthem. Plz believe it.

Touching ME !

Some people feel so empty
All their problems and hurt of pride
You make me so happy sweet baby
Love is by my side
Waking up now in the morning
A little morning sigh
Ready not to get it together
We know temptation
Don't tell the whole story
But you and me baby
We have taken inventory
We Blue Monday people
And I know there's a few
I don't know your problems
Only you know how to solve them
When seasons are strong
Sometimes your life don't get along
But when cupboards are bare
Our love we can share

Truth is not the whole question
Truth is not the whole question
What is the answer you hide? (answer you hide)
The system need us
But it's trying to mislead us
They know this money don't feed us

Depression ain't just
Quite what you promised
Won't you mister be honest
Acting like a child
Sometimes we get wild
Right when the loving is strong
We don't want to get along
Don't have to listen to me
One day you may see
We Blue Monday people
Just trying in a strain (We Blue Monday people)
Life breaking our hearts
I'm so tired it's a shame (We Blue Monday people)
This hustling affair
Ain't the way I even care
We'll be together in spite
Of the crimes of the night
Crimes of the night
Crimes of the night
Need someone to see me through
Need someone to comfort me
Sometimes you can let me be
Just let me be

The album cover is as deep as the record

The individual that uploaded this song is a very different spirit

I was in the seventh grade when this album came out. I am now 55 years old and still love it

Nathaniel Haynes Curtis was a god.

This song right here is the working class anthem ! M

Sampled by the beatminerz,the song is "open"

They don't make music like this no more , no way! Take note America!

Blue Monday People is a beautiful song to reflect the challenges we all seemingly face everyday...."the system need us, but it's trying to mislead us. They know this little money don't feed us..."

The late great brother Curtis Mayfield a Prophet from the very beginning

Man...... seems like the greats were born too soon.. yet they live forever!!

You are 100% correct

obrigado !!!

Every day i have to fight. But at the end of the Amilia it is your love for me that make right

Beautiful

Great music.

Curtis says it the best in this song

The music, the message, the VOICE ... bring a fucking tear to my eye. RIP to the gawd.

i grow up listening to curtis Mayfield

God bless. You. From Spain. Curtís my hero

Curtis spent his life trying to tell the people something, and as you can see none listened. It's worst today than yesterday, and no tomorrow promised.

Fia K. alot of people listened your listening do something people love to be pessimist but dont realise that it takes faith to accomplish things and the fear you have is evil it's hard to explain but you can't do anything becuase you dont believe it's possible that's the problem today, people are overwhelmed by all the terrible things going on they don't tackle any of them they just cower in fear and things just get worse

it also stems from skewed morals and values in today's America all anyone wants is fame whether for being worthy of it or not it's a goal of many people. the first part of what you said is very true curtis spent his life trying to convey a message to people and you don't see that In many of the musicians you see today they don't make music for the love of the art or to get somthing through to people they just go along with the trends and try to appeal to people on most basic levels I've never been moved by a clever yet empty egotistical statement idk i dont hate that but I hate that very few people write music completely from the soul without being afraid being judged I don't understand how when you look at a mass of unsophisticated ignorant trend following saps that just want to criticise everyone and everything to be loved, that anyone would really fear there judgement anyway they don't matter there just the people history forgets

but dont listen to me listen to curtis it's all there you listen to the lines but dont hear the whole story read the lyrics

I know the lyrics, I know the music, I know the times it mention, I knew the man. But as you put it don't listen to me, listen to the music.

It is very easy to look at the darkness and state none listened. But give the young credit, they are trying. Dissension is what they want, and intelligence is found in every generation, as is love. I thank generations past for paving things that are possible, and for efforts that are unspoken and unheard of, thank you.

Know ***

Folks don't knee about this!
