“The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing.”
James Brown
Know we need it, soul power; We got to have it, soul power
Know we need it, soul power; Got to have it, soul power
Give it to me, soul power; Hey, you need it, soul power
We want it, soul power; Got to have it, soul power
I wanna get, under your skin
If I get there
I got to win
You need some soul; Come on and get some
And then you’ll know; Where I’m coming from
A man, a man; Unaccompanied can go along
But I’m still on the case
And my rap is strong
Go jump on my train; When I’m outta sight
Just check yourself and say
Yeah, you’re right
Hey, hit me
Give it, put it there
Love me tender, said love me slow
If that don’t get it
Go back for more
Look here, you gotta get
In the bracket
You know that I like it; all right
Lookie, all right; A ball on the ground
You gotta get down down, down, down, down
Good God
I got the attitude
What you need Soul power
What we want Soul power
Got to have soul power
What we want Soul power
