Lyrics

If you're the one that feels that the soul sound ain't real Then you're missing what we're giving And could it be that you are afraid to face what's true You'd better listen and pay attention We love to play and sing so that you can do your thing All it takes is for you to be real We want to make you smile, let us groove you for a while 'Cause we're dealing with our feelings If our message is getting through, then here's what you gotta do Stop your rapping, get to clapping If you like our melody come and sing along with me Take our music but you can use it If there's a feeling in your soul that makes you want to explode That's the first clue, to the new you In our music you will find it will educate your mind Let it stimulate, we hope we motivate Get on up or just shut the funk up Get on up or just shut the funk up Get funky If our message is getting through then here's what you gotta do Stop your rapping, get to clapping If you like our melody come and sing along with me Take our music but you can use it If there's a feeling in your soul that makes you want to explode That's the first clue, to the new you In our music you will find, it will educate your mind Let it stimulate, we hope we motivate
