[Chorus]
|
Every once in awhile
|
U need some ol' skool company
|
Somebody that appreciates a sexy groove
|
And a old school melody
|
When god his son and the love of family
|
Ruled in the community
|
The songs you sing
|
Lift you up 2 heaven
|
A heaven we can believe in
|
|
Everybody's talkin' about hard times
|
Like it just started yesterday
|
People eye know they've been strugglin'
|
At least it seems that way
|
Fat cats on wall street
|
They got a bailout
|
While somebody else got 2 wait
|
700 billion but myold neighborhood
|
Ain't nothing changed but the date
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Ain't nothing ever come from complaining
|
Xcept a bitter heart, that's true
|
Follow along and you gon wanna do
|
Something b4 the next chorus is thru
|
The songs we sing
|
They used 2 mean somethin
|
Now every other one is just mean
|
Rather than reminisce eye'm telling you this
|
It's time 4 a brand new scene
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Everybody's sinkin' in the quicksand
|
Created by the keeper of time
|
Cast aside by using ancient tricks
|
That changes ur state of mind
|
They got you catering the whims of the flesh
|
B4 you get ur paper right
|
Call me old fashioned
|
But back in the day
|
There wasn't no shorties in sight
|
|
1st come job then come marriage b4 shorty
|
Come out with the baby carriage call me
|
Old fashioned just clap yo hands just clap yo hands
|
Radio used 2 b local untouched by the man
|
Songs we used 2 sing used 2 mean something
|
Now they just bland like the drummer
|
Where's the real drummer? michael b.
|
Mint condition, morris day
|
Jellybean wishin' sheila e and brother john, sometimes me
|
'til dawn
|
|
If the white house is black
|
We gotta take the radio back
|
Power 2 the people
|
Power 2 the people
|
|
Put this thing on repeat go back 2 one
|
And just move ur feet tell ur friends prince and
|
The mplsound we can't be beat
|
|
Suckas
