[Chorus]

Every once in awhile

U need some ol' skool company

Somebody that appreciates a sexy groove

And a old school melody

When god his son and the love of family

Ruled in the community

The songs you sing

Lift you up 2 heaven

A heaven we can believe in

Everybody's talkin' about hard times

Like it just started yesterday

People eye know they've been strugglin'

At least it seems that way

Fat cats on wall street

They got a bailout

While somebody else got 2 wait

700 billion but myold neighborhood

Ain't nothing changed but the date

[Chorus]

Ain't nothing ever come from complaining

Xcept a bitter heart, that's true

Follow along and you gon wanna do

Something b4 the next chorus is thru

The songs we sing

They used 2 mean somethin

Now every other one is just mean

Rather than reminisce eye'm telling you this

It's time 4 a brand new scene

[Chorus]

Everybody's sinkin' in the quicksand

Created by the keeper of time

Cast aside by using ancient tricks

That changes ur state of mind

They got you catering the whims of the flesh

B4 you get ur paper right

Call me old fashioned

But back in the day

There wasn't no shorties in sight

1st come job then come marriage b4 shorty

Come out with the baby carriage call me

Old fashioned just clap yo hands just clap yo hands

Radio used 2 b local untouched by the man

Songs we used 2 sing used 2 mean something

Now they just bland like the drummer

Where's the real drummer? michael b.

Mint condition, morris day

Jellybean wishin' sheila e and brother john, sometimes me

'til dawn

If the white house is black

We gotta take the radio back

Power 2 the people

Power 2 the people

Put this thing on repeat go back 2 one

And just move ur feet tell ur friends prince and

The mplsound we can't be beat

Suckas
