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
