Songtext zu 'Medley TOP Tribute' von Tower Of Power

Soul vaccination
All across the nation people been catchin' honkypox (honkypox)
When you get the notion
Tower's got the potion - you might look in to set yourself in motion

I'm talkin' 'bout (soul vaccination)
Ah-hah, Ah-hah (soul vaccination)
(Soul vaccination)
Everybody get in line (soul vaccination)

You got to funkifize
You got to funkifize

Now you want to get funky
Like a bow-legged monkey
I'm tellin' you
(You got to funkifize)

Say it's in the blood
(In the blood, in the blood)
Yeah, they say it's in the blood, yeah
(In the blood, in the blood)
Somebody said it's in the blood
(In the blood, in the blood)
Well they say it's in the blood, yeah
(In the blood, in the blood)

But don't you know it's in your soul
(Don't you know it's in your soul)
Don't you know it's in your soul, boy
(Don't you know it's in your soul)
Don't you know it's in your soul, mama
(Don't you know it's in your soul)
Don't you know it's in your soul, girl
(Don't you know it's in your soul)

So you want to jump out your trick bag
And ease on into a hip bag
But you ain't just exactly sure what's hip
So you start to let your hair grow
Spend big bucks to cop you a wardrobe
But somehow you know there's much more to the trip

What is hip?
Tell me, tell me if you think you know
What is hip?
If you was really hip
The passing years would show
You into a hip trip
Maybe hipper than hip
But what is hip?

(What is hip) ah
(What is hip) ha, I'd like to know
(What is hip) is it in the style of your hair
(What is hip) is it in the clothes that you wear

(What is hip) ha, I'd like to know
(What is hip) I'd like to know
(What is hip) what is hip, y'all, hey
(What is hip) hey, ho, oh

(What is hip) what is hip, y'all
(What is hip) I wanna know
(What is hip) I
(What is hip) hey, I wanna know what hip it is

I've been through all them changes
A lot of stuff came down
I've dealt with all the issues
You might say I've been around

But back when I got started
There was a righteous sound
It doesn't matter what I've been through
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown

I'll still be diggin' on James Brown
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown (what about you folks)
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown (go ahead james, yall)

I'll still be diggin' on James Brown
(What about you people)
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown
(Well check it out, horns)
(Can't help myself)

I got the urge early last week
To call you up just to hear you speak
But I really didn't want to waste my time
Because on the real side, you're not worth a dime

Talk your trash, mama
Yes it's alright with me
And my game uptight and you
Should have known it from in front

So I wanna say top say
Let me see you say knock yourself out
So I wanna say top cmon
Let me hear so knock yourself out

Let me hear you scream

Knock, knock, knock yourself out
Knock, knock, knock yourself out
Knock, knock, knock yourself out
Knock, knock, knock yourself out

Knock, knock, knock, knock
Knock, knock, knock, knock knock it all
Hey! Knock it al
We gotta go we love you all, we'll see again soon
