Find that funky feeling deep inside your soul That’s the beat you can’t deny — release it after all Catch that funky rhythm pumping thru your vein When the groove is on the move, you cannot stay the same Chorus: That’s the beat inside my soul That’s the groove I can’t control That’s the beat inside my soul That’s the groove I can’t control That’s the beat inside my soul That’s the groove I can’t control That’s FUNK! That’s a kind of fever coming from inside You can feel it in your chest when bass and drums collide Throw back all your worries, float down with the beat Nothing can embarrass you while funky breaks repeat

James Brown Sly Stone Longhair, the King of New Orleans Davis Hancock Quincy Reverend Al Green Ooh… C’mon and hit me! Ooh… C’mon and hit me twice! Ooh… C’mon and hit me! Ooh… I'll tell you what to do Chorus: We gotta know the roots We gotta make ‘em all reunited At first you have to learn the past before you go ahead Know the roots Make ‘em all reunited ‘Cause knowledge is the only way to free your head Meters Clinton Bootsy Mr. Bobby Bland Booker Winstons Blackbyrds Average White Band Satchmo Parker Coltrane Dizzy Sam Cooke Aretha Minnie Jacksons Stevie Marvin Curtis Preston Isleys Marley Malcolm Martin Luther King

Soul System 06:36
Build up something genuine and daring It’s so easy to begin Build up something extraordinary Just to show the things unseen Free your soul now just to be connected To the rhythm of your life There’s no chance to stay unaffected When the system gets overdrive Chorus: It’s like a soul system You give me yours I give you mine Changin’ all the time Let your heart be kinda power station Generating love around Let it move in permanent rotation Breaking every single bound Let’s get started — there’s no time to wallow On the laurels of the past Free your mind and your ass will follow Don’t you worry ‘bout the rest

It’s so strange to feel your absence When I need you most of all You have left to find the answers I am here to bear my fault I’ve got so much time for waiting But we got to ask ourselves What’s the use of contemplating As for me, it makes no sense Chorus: In my mind I cut the distance Time accelerates its flow That excuses my existence But my feelings got too slow So I put the lights down low I put the lights down low There’s no chance to win a battle Seeing things we’ve said and done There’re two sides to every medal Got to see the other one.
5.
You don't know what is trouble every day You don't know what it means to lose your way You're among your first world problems That you could easily delay You don't know how to manage on your own You don't know how to live your life alone You've been spoiled and pampered baby Since the day that you were born Chorus: But when your joy depends On pain of someone else You just don’t get it right You just can’t get it right Because my freedom ends When someone ties my hands It’s time to get it right It’s time to get it… get it on Let me know when your games come to an end Let me know when you try to understand That the real size of your ego Is smaller than a grain of sand
