Funky President lyrics

Funky town, nasty

Hey, listen to the man

Rap, Godfather

Payback, cold blooded

People, people, we've got to get over

Before we go under, yeah Lord

People, people, we've got to get over

Before we go under

Hey, country, you didn't say what you meant

You just changed, a brand new funky President

Stock market going up, jobs going down

It ain't no funky job to be found

Tax keep going up, I changed from a glass

Now I drink from a paper cup, getting bad

People, people, we've got to get over

Before we go under, listen to me

Let's get together and raise...

Let's get together, get some land

Raise our food like the man

Save our money like the mob

Put up the factory on the job

Wow, tell them, Godfather

Hey Lord, hey, 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've 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, yeah

Hey, give yourself a chance to come through

Wow, tell yourself, I can do what you can do

Hey, listen to the man, rap godfather

Pay back, cold blooded

People, people, hey, people, people

People, people, don't you see what's going on?

People, people, we've got to get together

Oh, get on your good foot, huh, change it, yeah

Got to get together and get some land

Raise our food just like the man

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 factory and own the job

We've got to get over, before we go under

Time ain't a jaunt, hey Lord

Country, do you know just what I meant

We just changed

And got a brand new funky President

And hey, I need to be the mayor

So I can change the things around here

I need to be the governor, huh

I need to be the governor, huh
