Lyrics
(CN.C.)Ooh.
(C7)Heard a bout the par ty now just east of Har lem.
Doug E gon’ be there, but you got to call him.
E ven the sol diers need a break some times.
Lis ten to the groove, y’all;
let it un wind your mind.
No in tox i ca tion un less you see what I see
danc in’ hot and sweat y right in front of me.
Oh, call it what you like; I’m ’a call it how it be.
This is just an oth er one of God’s gifts: mu si col o gy.
Got to keep the par ty mov in’ like I told you,
kick the old school joint
for the true funk sol diers.
Mu si col o gy.
Wait a min ute, band.
Wish I had a dol lar for ev ’ry time they say,
“Don’t you miss the feel ing mu sic gave you back in the day?” Let’s groove: Sep tem ber.
Earth, Wind and Fi re.
Hot Pants by James.
Sly’s gon’ take you high er.
Min or keys and drugs don’t make a rol ler skate jam.
Take your pick– turn ta ble or a band?
Lord, if it ain’t Chuck D.
or Jam Mas ter (Jay), know what?
They’re los in’
’cause we got a P.

These are, these are, these are, these are my rec ords.

For the true funk sol diers.

On the one, y’all.
