Book Details


Table of Contents

Introduction. Let's take it to the stage (1978)
The bomb
If you hear any noise, it's just me and the boys
I'm into something and I can't shake it loose
Friends, inquisitive friends, are asking what's come over me
Sound a little something like raw funk to me
Open up your funky mind and you can fly
Would you like to dance with me? We're doing the cosmic slop
Everybody get up for the down stroke
There's a whole lot of rhythm goin' round
Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip and come on up to the mothership
When the syndrome is around, don't let your guard down
So high you can't get over it
Never missin' a beat
You can walk a mile in my shoes, but you can't dance a step in my feet
The dog that chases its tail will be dizzy
Rhythm and rhyme, rhythm and rhyme, rhythm and motherfucking rhyme
If anybody gets funked up, it's gonna be you
You gonna get ate.
