Stylistics, The - People Make The World Go Round Lyrics
Trashmen didn't get my trash today
Oh, why? Because they want more pay
Buses on strike want a raise in fare
So they can help pollute the air
The up and downs, a carousel
Changing people's heads around
Go underground young man
People make the world go 'round
Wall Street losin' dough on ev'ry share
They're blaming it on longer hair
Big men smokin' in their easy chairs
On a fat cigar without a care
The up and downs, a carousel
Changing people's heads around
Go underground young man
People make the world go 'round
But that's what makes the world go round
The up and down, a carousel
Changing people's heads around
Go underground young man
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round

Stylistics, The People Make The World Go Round Comments
Im a young man and the best thing about music from my grandoarents era is that its all NEW to me. Granny I love you so fucking much, Im sitting here in tears missing you. She is and always will be the best Grandmother ever. I thank her for so much and this music is a kiss from her from Heaven.
Oh I think she likes me
Perhaps their best effort.
2020 is literally a few days away.. And I'll still be playing this Song! Who else will still being playing this song in 2020 ?
Happy New Year's 💜
December 16th 2019 .. still a hit
However we got this great song just pass it on to the youth. In the era of Xbox PS4 or 5 pharmacy rap they need this. Think of who you were. Think of who you are. Think of who we knew passed on. No judgement 2020.
Liked this in crooklyn watch tjhat plenty of times love it.
Beautiful and true; Love this song.
I remember this song playing every morning when I was in the first grade. Still loving these oldies and I'm 38 still playing them till this very day.
Hipboppers and rappers of today you all can only Wish for..
Kind of similar to BLUE MAGIC'S "SIDESHOW", about how we're all a part of the same thing, or that we're all in this together.
Black Lightning brought me here! Of course Crooklyn was the original thiighy
Smmfh @ the troglodytes finding this CLASSIC bcuz of Black Ass Lightening or Crooklyn.... please expand your music knowledge past nba young fool...SMMFH!

This song has me in my easy chair with a fat cigar without a care😎
What a voice! Love this song,reminds me of the movie, CROOKLIN,also good".
There was just something existent in the ether of the music back then, an energy signature and feel that will never be again.
love little MJ version too 😍
Black lightening brought me here, awesome song 👌
@ Shortsie . (Thanks for posting these lyrics!)
Trash men didn't get my trash today
Oh, why
Because they want more pay
Buses on strike want a raise in fare
So they can help pollute the air
But that's what makes the world go 'round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they'll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go 'round
Wall Street losing dough on every share
They're blaming it on longer hair
Big men smoking in their easy chairs
On a fat cigar without a care
But that's what makes the world go 'round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they'll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go 'round
But that's what makes the world go 'round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they'll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round
People make the world go 'round

PEOPLE MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎤🎤🎤🎤
Such a true song people do make the world go round, unless your from the west coast then gangster's make it go round,lol.
This song is smoother than glass of henney
As an OG this was a fantastic song Russel Thompkins lead vocals combined with the orchestration brings so much of that inner city feel that I grew up with. This LP version brings so back many memories Spike brought some of that to life in the movie "Crooklyn". Listening to this brings to mind, summer days in NYC, Hydrants spewing out water to those that ran threw it, playing handball, hoops, stick ball, Skelly's, Tag, off the stoop, comic books, going to the candy store, knit shirts, polyester print shirts, Puma sneakers, riding our bikes through the city streets, mini skirts, so much to do. We enjoyed our time together or just looking at TV. Today??? Well need I say more....Sad. Thank you for this upload. Peace ya who remember.
Was pleasantly surprised when I heard this the other day,it had been so long since hearing it & remembering how much I loved it, when watching the great series, 'Snowfall'. Highly reccomend🤙 some of the more
realistic writing I've seen in a long time.
LA, the 1980's,the beginning of Rocking up Coke,Dope for guns,Contra Rebels, CIA, Reagan,Cartels, Family,Relationships,Crime, Gangsters....
& I realized I'd never heard the whole version, only on radio or cars or clubs.🎶
3:30 to 6:27 , so relaxed when i hear that guitar and flute mixed into the melody
One of me and my uncle favorite songs 💯💯😎😎
Haunting prolific song !!!
Great group of the 70's just didn't make it into the 80's.
I love how I had no idea what I was looking for...I remembered the tune and like 2 words lyrics. Here I am. 17 years before I was even born.
Give me 7 C's and 11 GS I make enough cheese to bring Wall Street to it's knees. Nigga please
Governor's Ball

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_Make_the_World_Go_Round
great music selection on BL.
I come here time and time again to hear that smooth instrumental play out
Black Lightning :D
Black Lightning brought me here 2019
This may be a perfect song. Lyrically. Melodically. The arrangements. The lead singing. The timeliness of the theme. The playing. It can be easily covered by other singers and instrumentalists It's all there.
I still love this song Absolutely.
Young people have to get this music from movies. But when I was young, this came out of my radio. I was so lucky
in instruments match the vocals perfectly. it's like a dance
was one of my mom's faves and mine as well, still is
Red Light Green Light 1 2 3....... YOU?!?!🤣🤣 Crooklyns my all time childhood movie... The day I die I’ll never forget this song and Crooklyns...💯💯 Thanks Spike Lee and The Stylistics✊🏾✊🏾
Snowfall Season 3 Interlude brought me back here🤷🏾♀️🤙
What a great song writing duo...may Linda Creed rest in peace and realise her great talent in the garden she now walks in.
Yesssssssss 2019!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It almost hurts ones soul that this music is in the past! But still lives on, thank goodness due to recording technology!
This is what you call good music
From 3:30 to the end make my soul feels good
It's amazing how songs of this caliber are still so relevant in this generation and the writers and producers of this quality music knew what they were doing. Songs that convey messages always tends to resonate with the listener once they get that message. I totally understand why this song was covered by so many different artist over the years and it's because it's a beautiful ode to life and struggle. It's a classic because it's timeless and will be relevant for generations to come.
Soulful music and the 70’s were the greatest time to live
To all bronze skin people
I'm so happy to have melanin skin
We make the world round black people. Jesus is bronze feet hair of wool. Anthenaten is christ. We all worship a black man who wrote the word on stone. I so happy to have melanin skin
Love the opening to song, Bass is what it icon. 💖💖💖💖
Crooklyn and Snowfall Opening Scene
Love this song & the mix Ice Cube & them made "gangstas make the world go round"
Snowfall season 3 brought me here 🙌🏼
