Tower Of Power - Soul Vaccination/ Live [compilation, live] (1999) by Tower Of Power (보컬) on maniadb.com

There's all kinds of music, everywhere you go
Some folks like it fast, and some like it slow
Some like it hot, some like it blue
Uh some like it old, and some like it new
Now I'm not liking country, and I'm not rappin' rap
You can make a man swing, just say my thing
No, I'm talkin' to dig, my step
The only thing that turns me on
Is when I hear a soulful song

I like soul with a capital S
Soul with a capital S
Sweet soul music, that's the best
Soul with a capital S

Music makes you happy, thinking makes you sad
It can do the worst thing to the best you ever had
For entertainment found you if you had to choose
You and me might disagree, 'cause I like rythm and blues
Now I'm not missin' disco, I'm not saying punk is bunk
I can't settle for heavy metal, cause I got to have that funk

I like soul with a capital S
Soul with a capital S
Sweet soul music, that's the best
Soul with a capital S

Oh, there's people who tell you to get in with the times
It doesn't even matter that if your poem rimes
But I'm here to tell you, whatever comes along
There's something that gave up everyone and there ain't no right or
wrong

I like soul with a capital S
Soul with a capital S
Sweet soul music, that's the best
Soul with a capital S

Some rock makes you lazy
Highschool leaves you flat
Fusion drives you crazy
That's now funk is where it's at

I like soul with a capital S
Soul with a capital S
Sweet soul music, that's the best
Soul with a capital S
I like soul with a capital S
Soul with a capital S
Sweet soul music, that's the best
Soul with a capital S

solo

I like soul with a capital S
Soul with a capital S
Sweet soul music, that's the best
Soul with a capital S

Play that funky groove

I remember the first day we met
That's the day I'll never forget
You came into my life, made everything right

I remember the first time we touched
Never knew that I could love so much
You ignited the flame, and I still feel the same

Chorus:
I like your style (I like your style)
I like your smile (I like it baby)
I love your heart and I loved you right from the start

I made a wish upon a lucky star
Someone special just the way you are
That wish came true, oh when I foud you
Oooooh

I can still see that star shining bright
With this love there's no end in sight
It's just you and me, we're destined to be

Chorus

Each day is new (I like your style)
When I'm with you (I like it baby)
It's more than on the a, gettin' better in memorylane

There's only one thing that I'd like to do
I want to spend my whole life with you
Till death do us part, because you captured my heart

It's Saturday night and I'm just hangin' out,
Lookin' for a place to party,
I jumps into my ride and I hits the road,
'Cause there's only one place to go:

(Down to the nightclub) Ooh, the women be righteously ready and pretty,
(Down to the nightclub) We go bump-ty, bump-ty, bump'
(Bump City)

Sitting by the dance floor checkin' it out,
Watchin' the man with fast feet,
He's got the hippest threads and the bad boogaloo
And a big ol' bag of tricks.

(Down to the nightclub) Ah, ha, you can get what you want
If you know how to find it.
(Down to the nightclub) Ooh, we be slick, slick, slick.

Ooh, the people be bumpin' (At Bump City)
The joint be jumpin' (At Bump City)
The mamas be humpin' (At Bump City)
Hey, while the band be pumpin',
'Said the band be pumpin',
The beat be somethin',
Ow! One time y'all!

The night's almost gone and we're still goin' strong,
'Cause the party's been so hearty.
I hope it doesn't show while I'm drivin' down the road
That I had to much to drink.

(Down to the nightclub) Well, if you've got the dough, the liqour will
flow.
(Down to the nightclub) Tied on a drunk, drunk, drunk.
(Down to the nightclub) We go bump-ty, bump-ty, bump.

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.

Ya know the more things change,
The more they stay the same.
It may be a different age,
But I'm on the same page.

Cause one thing that I've found,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.

I had an attitude adjustment,
I did some psycho therapy.
I helped myself to some self-help,
I dabbled in some ESP.
Though my world is ever-changing,
And I move from town to town,

It doesn't matter where I've been to,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.

Ya know the more things change,
The more they stay the same.
It may be a different age,
But I'm on the same page.

Cause one thing that I've found,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.

You got your rap and your disco,
You got your drum machine.
You got your R-rated gangster,

You got to funkifize)
(You got to funkifize)

(You got to funkifize)

Move to the music, got to shout and shing-a-ling,
You got to groove with the rhythm, girl, get slick and shake that thing
(Shake that thing), Yeah, just let it be for real,
If you've got the power.

Now you all know what you got to do,
You can't lay dead, just catch the groove, oh!

(You got to funkifize) Say,
(You got to funkifize) Now if you want to get funky, like a bow-legged
monkey,
I'm telling you;
(You got to funkifize)

Got to kick to the backbeat before you get too old,
You got to flash to the fire and let it grab your soul! (Grab your soul)
Ha, ha, ha, ha! Just let it be for real, bop to the rock,
If you've got the power.

Now you all know what you got to do,
You can't lay dead, just catch that groove, oh!

(You got to funkifize) Well,
(You got to funkifize) Now if you want to get funky, like a bow-legged
monkey,

Somebody said it's in the blood, now,

Well, they say it's in the blood, girl,

(You got to funkifize

Ain't nothin' I can say, nothin' I can do
I feel so bad, yeah, I feel so blue
I got to make it right for everyone concerned
Even if it's me, if it means it's me what's gettin' burned

'Cause I could never make you unhappy
No, I couldn't do that girl
Only wish I didn't love you so
Makes it so, so very hard to go
(So very hard to go)
'Cause I love you so (So very hard to go)
Ah, I love you so

I knew the time would come
I'd have to pay for my mistakes,
I can't blame you for what you're doin' to me girl
Even tho' my heart aches
Your dreams have all come true just the way you planned them
So I'll just step aside, I'm gon step aside
And lend a helping hand then
'Cause I could never make you unhappy
No I couldn't do that girl
Only wish I didn't love you so
Makes it so, so very hard to go
(So very hard to go)
'Cause I love you so (so very hard to go)
Oh, I love you so

And it ain't easy to walk away when a man love somebody
(so very hard to go) hey, hey, hey, hey

So ya wanna dump out yo' trick bag.
Ease on in a hip thang,
But you ain't exactly sure what is hip.

So you started to let your hair grow.
Spent big bucks on your wardrobe.
Somehow, ya know there's much more to the trip.

(refrain #1)
What is hip?
Tell me, tell me, if you think you know.
What is hip?
If you're really hip,
the question, "Will it show?"
You're into a hip trip.
Maybe hipper than hip.
What is hip?
{ Trumpet solo/guitar solo }
(refrain #1 ends)

You became a part of a new breed.
Been smokin' only the best weed.
Hangin' out with the so called "Hippie set."

Seen in all the right places.
Seen with just the right faces.
You should be satisfied, but it ain't quite right.

{ refrain #1 }

Come on!

(refrain #2)
Hipness is. What it is!
Hipness is. What it is!
Hipness is. What it is!
Sometimes hipness is, what it ain't.
(end refrain #2)

{ guitar solo }

You went an' found you a guru.
In an effort to find you a new you,
And maybe even raise your conscious level.

While you're striving to find the right road,
There's one thing you should know,
"What's hip today, might become passe'."

{ refrain #1 }

{ Trumpet solo }

Think about it y'all.

{ keyboard solo }

{ refrain #2 }

What is hip?
Ahhhhhhhhh!
What is hip?
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?
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! Oh!
What is hip?
What is hip y'all?
What is hip?
I wanna know.
What is hip?
Ahhhhhhh!
What is hip?
I wanna know what hipness is.

See where I'm comin from

I put down the spoon,
And picked up the fork.
I went and got a gun felt like Sergent York.
I put down the ice,
And pick up the dice.
No matter what the payback
You got to pay the price.
I've been around the world,
With my eyes on the screen.
I've paid lots of money to be hip at the seam.
I've been to the moon
With my feet on the ground.
And now I'm so tired of lying around.

I've been here and there,
I looked everywhere.
I searched high and low,
Now there's no place to go.

So I got to groove.
The kind of groove that makes you move.
I've got to groove.

I've been to the rodeo,
But I fell off the horse.
I've cried me a river
But I couldn't find the source.
I've been to the stow,
To get with the flow.
If I'm going so fast
How come I'm moving so slow?
I dropped the rock,
And I picked up the phone.
I cried out for help cause I felt so alone.
I was ready to surrender
But claimed victory.
Still I don't know what was wrong with me.

I've been here and there,
I looked everywhere.
I searched high and low,
Now there's no place to go.

So I got to groove.
The kind of groove that makes you move.
I've got to groove.

(All the things that use to fix me) They don't fix me like the groove.
(All the things that use to fix me) I wish you all knew what we was talking about.
(All the things that use to fix me) No they just don't do it.
(All the things that use to fix me) I wouldn't lie to ya, they don't fix me no more.

Break down!

I've got to groove.
Tell them what you gotta do.
I've got to groove.
Tell them what you gotta do.

(All the things that use to fix me) No they just don't do it.
(All the things that use to fix me) I wouldn't lie to ya, they don't fix like the groove.
(All the things that use to fix me) Tell them why you wrote this song!
(All the things that use to fix me) No they just don't do it.
(All the things that use to fix me) I wouldn't lie to ya, they don't fix me no more.

I've been here and there,
I looked everywhere.
I searched high and low,
Now there's no place to go.

So I got to groove.
The kind of groove that makes you move.
I've got to groove.
