Whatever Happened to Rock and Roll

Whatever happened to rock and roll
Juke joint rhythm and Motown soul?
Ain't got nothing against hip hop and rap
But it don't take long to get tired of that

I need to hear a little rhythm and blues
Memphis grind, California grove
I wanna message tangled in a beat
Make you snap your fingers and move your feet

I need to feel that rhythm
Pound a message to my soul
It always lifts me higher
That's how ya know
That's rock and roll

Whatever happened to a jump blues ride
Backbeat rhythm, melody and rhyme?
I ain't a sayin' that you gotta get back
But It really ain't got much better than that

I need a shot of that rhythm and blues
Rock the pocket baby, turn on the juice
Take you anywhere you wanna go
Just crank it up louder on the radio, baby I

I need to feel that rhythm
Pound a message to my soul
It always lifts me higher
That's how ya know
That's how ya know
That's how ya know
That it's rock and roll

Whatever happened to rock and roll
Juke joint rhythm and Motown soul?
Don't need a lot a subwoofer jazz
To help me find the beat 'cause I know where it's at

I need a shot of that rhythm and blues
Memphis grind or a wreck'n crew
Better get down to your Lost and Found
'Cause rock and roll turns the world around baby

I need to feel that rhythm
Pound a message to my soul
It always lifts me higher
That's how ya know
That's how ya know
That's how ya know

I need to feel that rhythm
Pound a message to my soul
It always lifts me higher
That's how ya know
That's how ya know
That's how ya know

That's rock and roll
That's rock and roll
That's rock and roll
That's rock and roll
