Funky President (People It's Bad)
Funky down, nasty
Hey! listen to the man!
Rap godfather
Payback! Cold blooded!
People, people
We gotta get over before we go under
People, people
We gotta get over before we go under
Hey country, didn't say what you meant
Just changed the brand new funky president
Stock market going up, jobs going down
There ain't no funky job to be found
Tax keeps going up
I changed from a glass, now I drink from a paper cup
Gettin' bad
People, people
We gotta get over before we go under
Listen to me
Let's get together and raise
Let's get together and get some land
Raise our food like the man
Save our money like the mob
Put up the fight and own the job
Tell 'em godfather
Turn on your funk motor
Get down and praise the lord
Get sexy, sexy
Get funky and dance
Love me, baby, love me nice
Don't make it once but can you make it twice? I like it
People, people
We got to get over before we go under
People, people
Well, well, well, before we go under
Turn on your funk motor, I know it's tough
Turn on your funk motor, until you get enough
Hey, give yourself a chance to come through
Tell yourself, "I can do what you can do"
Hey! listen to the man!
Rap godfather
Payback! Cold blooded!
People, people! Oh!
People, people! Hey!
People, people
Don't you see what's going on?
People, people
We got to get together! Oh!
Get on your good foot! Huh! Change it!
Got to get together and get some land
Raise our food just like the man!
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
I got to say it again
We got to get together and buy some land
Raise our food just like the man
Save our money, do like the mob
Put up your fight and own the job
We got to get over before we go under
C'mon, let's do it, oh Lord!
Country do you know just what I meant?
We just changed, got a brand new funky president
I need to be the mayor
So I could change a few things around here
I need to be the governor
I need to be the governor
I need to be the governor
Hey! listen to the man!
Rap godfather
Payback! Cold blooded!
People, people
We gotta get over before we go under
People, people
We gotta get over before we go under
Hey country, didn't say what you meant
Just changed the brand new funky president
Stock market going up, jobs going down
There ain't no funky job to be found
Tax keeps going up
I changed from a glass, now I drink from a paper cup
Gettin' bad
People, people
We gotta get over before we go under
Listen to me
Let's get together and raise
Let's get together and get some land
Raise our food like the man
Save our money like the mob
Put up the fight and own the job
Tell 'em godfather
