channels [00:22.67]And sick of flippin' quarters [00:23.77]I called my man Zulu said "Meet me on the corner" [00:26.61]Maybe we can check out the clubs in the city [00:29.08]'Cuz waitin' at the crib can make you feel shitty [00:31.67]So he hopped into my ride on the squeaky door side and [00:34.20]We hit the upper room where they keep the funk alive [00:37.00]The man at the door invited us inside [00:39.05]He said there isn't any cover if you're keepin' up the vibe [00:42.23]We took it upstairs to big up the area [00:44.80]The people in the house was shakin' up their derrier [00:47.40]Raisin' up their hands and raisin' up their voices [00:50.00]Tokes was the DJ I was happy with his choices [00:52.65]Maxin' and mixin' the beats they was fixin' [00:55.24]My brain like a smoke that was doubly triply d**e [00:57.80]The decadence is gone and life may never be the same [01:00.44]'Cuz when the beat hits you feel no pain [01:02.56]So a piece of peace for you a piece of peace for me [01:05.64]A

waitin' with their vans [01:36.94]Hopin' that sh*t would get outta hand [01:39.36]So dat they could test their weapons [01:40.89]On innocent civilians [01:41.57] [01:42.15]The high tech sh*t costin' million and millions [01:44.26] [01:44.78]Money should've spent on somethin' for community [01:47.31]But that's okay because we got the unity [01:49.89]So f**k the police we can keep the peace [01:52.58]We can make love and conquer that disease [01:54.77]Because nothin' in the world is impossible to me [01:57.57]I can swim on dry land and run upon the sea [02:00.21]And nothin' in the world is impossible to me [02:02.77]You can chop off my legs [02:03.92]And I'll land upon my feet [02:05.40]I turn it over to the spirit [02:06.69]And I leave her in charge [02:08.03]My favorite record sounds [02:09.10]Like an African head charge [02:10.68]She'll beat up the beats with [02:12.11]And eggbeater pour em in the batter [02:13.91]She'll make 'em sound fatter and fatter [02:16.00]'Cuz food for the soul is the flavor of the music [02:18.62]And the spice for the brain is [02:20.01]The essence of the lyrics [02:21.23]Well songs can be delicious and also be nutritious [02:23.87]You can't
