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 U SING
LIFT U 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 U 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 U 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 U CATERING THE WHIMS OF THE FLESH
B4 U 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
