Sweep Around

You know there are too many people trying to take care of other folks' business

And they can't even take care of their own

But what you need to do is take six months to mind your own business

And six months to leave other folks' business alone

All I'm trying to say is

Sweep around your own front door

Before you try to sweep around mine, mm, mm

Sweep around your own front door

Before you try to sweep around mine

Now this is what you do

You smile in your neighbor's face and you talk about them behind their back

Y'all know you do this

But if you found out they were doing the same thing to you

You know, you wouldn't like that

Well, tell me this

Who are we to judge what other people do

Take a look at yourself, you'll could find some faults too

Sweep around your own front door

Before you try to sweep around mine, well, well, well

You need to sweep around your own front door

Before you try to sweep around mine

Here's another thing, y'all

You're always on the telephone putting down on someone else

Y'all know, y'all do that

You need to take a little time, stop, look in the mirror and check yourself

And here's the reason why

'Cause we all have sinned and come short of God's glory today

So we don't have time to spread hearsay

Sweep around your own front door

Before you try to sweep around mine (mine)

Sweep around your own front door

Before you try to sweep around mine (mine)

Listen

Put love in your heart where there is hate

(You need to clean it up)

I wouldn't let it be said I waited too late

(Clean it up)

Stop going around talking about your friends

(You need to clean it up)

Hey, don't you know that that's a sin

(Clean it up)

How can you criticize someone else

(You need to clean it up)

When you are doing wrong yourself?

(Clean it up)
