歌詞

Boot heel down and the floor say “hey!”

Drum talk loud in a funky way

I don’t walk — I testify

Horn line cut through the sky

Sweat drip slow from my brow

Ain’t no soft talk now

When that bass hit deep and wide

You better move or step aside

Snare snap sharp like a whip crack sound

Kick drum roll make the room spin round

No glitter shine, no sugar tone

Just raw soul in the bone

I was raised on the backbeat law

Every bar hit hard and raw

If you feel that heat arise

That’s the funk you can’t disguise

Hit it hard — don’t be late!

Bring that groove — regulate!

Clap your hands — stomp your feet!

Feel that fire in the beat!

Turn it up — let it ride!

Shake that floor side to side!

If it burn in your chest

You blessed!

Hot blood running in my veins

Thunder roll in heavy chains

I don’t beg, I command

Funk power in my hand

Sax cry wild in the night

Trumpets blast pure dynamite

When that rhythm hit your spine

You know it’s time

No plastic smile, no borrowed fame

Whole lotta soul in my name

Boot stomp heavy on the stage

Sweat and smoke, unleash the rage

If you want that real-deal sound

Let that backbeat pound and pound

I don’t fake, I don’t front

I bring the funk upfront

Hit it hard — let it blaze!

Set that room in a purple haze!

Move your body — don’t resist!

Let that rhythm twist and twist!

Drop it low — bring it back!

Ride that groove, stay on track!

If it shake your soul inside

Let it ride!

Just drums…

Just bass…

Let that pocket find its place…

Now horns!

Blow it higher!

Take that groove to the fire!

Let it burn — all night long!

Sing it loud — sing it strong!

When that beat control your feet

You can’t retreat!

Turn it loose — let it fly!

Feel that heat multiply!

If the groove won’t let you rest

You blessed!

Clap your hands — stomp the ground!

Bring that heavy funky sound!

When that backbeat hit the floor

Give me more!

Raise it up — shout it out!

That’s what funk is all about!

When the fire in your hands

Take a stand!

Hit it hard…

Let it blaze…

125 all the way…

Bring it back…

One more time…

Yeah!
