Every million miles ya haffe tek a first step | |
Every million miles ya haffe tek a first step | |
I was sick of flippin' channels / and sick of | |
Flippin' quarters | |
I called my man zulu/ said, 'meet me on the corner' | |
Maybe we can check out the clubs in the city | |
'cause waitin' at the crib can make you feel shitty | |
So he hopped into my ride on the squeaky door side and | |
We hit the upper room/ where they keep the funk alive | |
The man at the door/ invited us inside | |
He said there isn't any cover/ if you're keepin' up the vibe | |
We took it upstairs to big up the area | |
The people in the house was shakin' up their derrier | |
Raisin up their hands and raisin up their voices | |
Tokes was the d.j. i was happy with his choices | |
Maxin' and mixin' the beats they was fixin' | |
My brain like a smoke that was doubly, triply, dope | |
The decadence is gone and lifemay never be the same | |
'cause when the beat hits | |
You feel no pain! | |
(chorus) | |
So a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me | |
A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see | |
A piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me | |
But i don't act peaceful if you're not that way to me | |
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step | |
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step | |
Five-o was outside waitin' with their vans | |
Hopin' that shit would get outta hand | |
So dat they could test their weapons | |
On innocent civilians, | |
The high tech shit costin' million and millions | |
Money should've spent on something for community | |
But that's o.k. because we got the unity | |
So **** the police! we can keep the peace! | |
We can make love and conquer that disease | |
Because nothing in the world is impossible tome | |
I can swim on dry land and run upon the sea | |
And nothing in the world is impossible to me | |
You can chop off my legs and i'll land upon my feet | |
I turn it over to the spirit and i leave her in charge | |
My favorite record sounds like an african head charge | |
She'll beat up the beats with and eggbeater | |
Pour em in the batter | |
She'll make 'em sound fatter and fatter | |
'cause food for the soul is the flavor of the music | |
Spice for the brain is the essence of the lyrics | |
Songs can be delicious and also be nutritious | |
You can't payfor culture', it can only be experienced | |
Boom! boom! boom! | |
'well have you ever been experienced!' | |
'well' | |
(chorus) | |
If the funk is on time | |
Then we call it punctual | |
We're matchin up the footsteps | |
Spiritual and functional | |
Like carnivale in rio | |
The charlie hunter trio | |
Had the groovers groovin' | |
And all the movers movin' | |
Cuba, twist, reminisce and nme | |
Graffiti on the street for everyone to see | |
Even the elders in the house was havin' fun | |
Because we livin' life at the top of our lungs | |
It was truly a life celebration that night | |
Had the world's greatest time | |
But we'd never sell the movie rights | |
To morrie povich, or anyone like that | |
And anyone who does is really, really whack! | |
We fish or cut bait and we're not takin' prisoners | |
And if you comin' late then you might've missed some a this | |
Funky good time we had here in fronta you | |
So long, farewell, alveerdersain, adieau to you | |
