Help with lyrics

[Tommy1]

Hoping "Feebasing" is the right place for this question. 

I need some help with the lyrics of Moses Dillard & The Text Town Dispaly "We Gotta Come Together". What is he singing here (from 1:32). 
“Talking bout some of us…??...??..??/ Let us not..??.., we got a long way to go”
All help is appreciated!

Thanks a lot Simon!
That made it much clearer, but still hard to get the first part.

Is the second part " Let us not get too convivial"?

Yes! 
But the first part is really hard!

Anyone up for the first part? 
I'm gonna use the lyrics in a book I'm writing.

Why not contact daughter Chandra Dillard, who is a South Carolina State Representative.  A busy lady I'm sure, but she will be pleased to read of your (our) interest in her father's work (see link).

By the way what an interesting album "Now!" is.  Way ahead of its time when released in 1969.

Thanks a lot for the tip, I will do that!

You might like to read this article about Moses Dillard, which appeared in Blues and Soul #160 (May 1975).  Moses was also politically active, so it runs in the family. (I'd forgotten that Joshua Dillard was a fictional brother; he was actually a Mr James Moore.)
