life, dance, stay, free, we, live, and the beat goes (x2)
make noise for the loved ones, bang on the drums celebrate where you come from wake up in the morning its a blessing every day is a prayer and you feel it right there, right here but you want a little somethin’ somethin’
carry on til the evenin’ is teethin’ reach another day another search for the reason and then the night bites in what it is learn how to dream enough to learn to live positive, affirmative, gotta make it happen like there’s an alternative now whose turn it is mine and i earn and give to stay permanent
shock shock waves didn’t hold your weight now you wanna change the clock but then it all stops and we forget that, we wanna get back to where we left off, a few steps off you wanna get on, you gotta get right hold on sit tight, look at the dim light take a breath, ask yes with some insight say yes from your belly through your wind pipe
and now it feels like you probably should’ve been right and it feels good, feels like you never left lil’ young cat got that shit togetherness feel high like mount everest, forever fresh so good, i think we want another yes but know the facism and classism up to being passed like they never had rhythm in the first place, worst case scenario we’ll be seein and hearin and now we’re stereo
same shit, different assholes flash the full capture cowboy, take away his lasso we’re goin forth to a new day our own way this is high time, not what they say they’re playin’ foul play, i’m playin’ james brown we’re gonna find us the truth every day now they only weigh out, lookin’ for a way out i just got here, and i’m stayin’… I’m just sayin’
and the beat goes
life, love, dance, sing, no, war, stay, free, we, can, live, yes and the beat goes (x2)
Yen, Euro, Dollar sign, wipe my soul try to keep the money all mine all the numbers keepin’ your health i give some thought but my feelin’ is felt i can find out when this feelin’ is felt it’s like that we don’t gotta deal with needle in this feelin’ itself inside when we’re screamin’ for help on the outside shinin’ for the public, the DJ’s love it we’re movin’ with the cruise control, groove with the soul
it’s new or it’s old, if it’s true then it’s told the negro spiritual ah-code sexual ode 204-9 area code, if it’s good then it must be sold that’s what they say, but i’m still not sold still loyal to the rhythm and the melody, the beat and it’s tellin’ me, words that weigh heavily, open my heart readily, good days they better be soon because i’m almost changin’ my mind (yes)
and i’m almost changin’ my blinds spent a lot of time seekin’to find it’s more about the truth and the treat not about the lyric or the beat it’s more about the lines fillin’ the seats people jump in band wagons and end up on cruises different ideas still might fall to confusion i spent a lot of time losin’, still in the game enough practice, still sharp with the aim teeter-totter never came to my side, still enjoyin’ the ride
i put my weight down just the same fuck pride foes died so i can tell you my name just leave from my life, lil’ yes not a baby in sight except maybe that i may be right (yes) but the world shakes stayin up in dangerous heights it had to come down twenty-nine flights and when he wasn’t dead, tell me what you think he said
Life, love, dance, sing, no, war, stay, free, we, can, live, yes and the beat goes (x2)
