Funky President (People It's Bad)
James Brown
Funk it down, nasty
Hey, listen to the man
Well, I'm not bothered
Pay back, cold lady
People, people, we've got to get over
Before we go under, yeah Lord
People, people, we've got to get over
Before we go under
Hey, could be, you didn't say much to me
You just changed, a brand new funky
There's a difference, yeah huh
Stock market going up, jobs going down
It ain't no funky job to be Brown
Prices keep going up, I'm chained to my bath
Now I drink from a paper cup, gettin' bad
People, people, we've got to get over
Before we go under, listen to me
Let's get together raise
Let's get together and get some land
Raise our food like the man
Save our money like the mother
Put up the factory on the job
Wow, tell them, Godfather
Hey Lord, hey, turn on your fountain water
Get down and praise the Lord
Get sexy, get funky and dance
Love me baby, love me nice too
Don't make it once, but can you make it twice
I like it
People, people, we've got to get over
Before we go under
People, people, well well well
Before we go under
Turn on your fountain water, I know it's tough
Turn on your fountain water, until you get enough, yeah
Hey, give yourself a chance to come through
Wow, tell yourself, I can do what you can do
Hey, listen to the man, rap Godfather
Pay back, cold lady
People, people, hey, people, people
People, people, don't you see what's goin' on
People, people, we've got to get together
Oh, get on your good foot, huh, change it, yeah
Got to get together and get some land
Raise our food just like the man
Hey... I've got to say it again
We've got to get together and buy some land
Raise our food just like the man
Save our money, do like the mob
Put up your factory and own the job
We've got to get over, before we go under
Time ain't a jaunt, hey Lord
Country don't do you, no
Just what I meant but that's changed
I've got a brand new funky President
And hey, I need to be the mayor
So I can change the things around here
I need to be the governor, huh
I need to be the governor, huh...
