Lyrics

Let's get up, let's get down

Let's get up, let's get down

Let's get up, let's get down

Rolling with the south from Lighter Shade of Brown

Let's get up, let's get down

Let's get up, let's get down

Let's get up, let's get down

Rolling with the south from Lighter Shade of Brown

Now what you hear is not a test

It's from ol' school to new school coming back with a twist

It's the Lighter Shade bringing back the funky rhythm

Time to show 'em what I give 'em

Show 'em how I use to live 'em

Back in the days before Hip Hop departed

No more disco fever John Travolta finished what he started

Walking down the street with your ghetto blaster bumping

And thumping break beat always urge to rap something

Nowadays you got a new type of flavor

A certain rap behavior, Lighter Shade returns the favor

I'm giving props to all D.J.'s

That play the o' funk you know how we play

And as the MC let the freestyle funk flow

Every once in a while they make the crowd scream, "Oh"

Jumping around wasn't the thing they did

Steady bopping their head while the girls had said

Let's get up, let's get down

Let's get up, let's get down

Let's get up, let's get down

Rolling with the south from Lighter Shade of Brown

Let's get up, let's get down

Let's get up, let's get down

Let's get up, let's get down

Rolling with the south from Lighter Shade of Brown

Can I get a dang dang

A ringa dang digga digga digga dang dang

A ringa dang digga digga

As I swing to the old school, funk

94 bump pop it in your trunk

And lay back and relax for a while

As I kick It to this smooth, dope style

And commence to a get you in the mood

Move to the groove cause ya now your gonna do it

And checka, checka, checka, check it out (Check it out)

Step right up and see what the Shade is all about

Who the flavor, I'm the flavor

And I came here just to save you

With a bit of the same old that you heard

Huh, now can I get a word

As I'm going, going, gone

Hey D.J., come on and play me that funky song

Let's get up

Let's get up

Let's get up

Rolling with the south from Lighter Shade of Brown

Now I remember around the way back

Back in the day I use to know

A DJ who could mix it, wicked it

Pick it up, pick it up, like check one, two

Only now there's just more than a few

Rappers, MC's, those who boast and they brag

A bag full of hits cause the Shade will never lag

As I rip it, I wreck it, so check it

Yo, D, bust a fat rhyme for the fat record

Hippity hop, what it's the loco

Peep the game to the PG and the vocals

As I reminisce over this and that, yo oh

Where we gonna take 'em (Way back)

Like I said before and I'll say it again

It's the old school versatile flex when we band

Eel skill that we got, you know we got mad props

So play me that funky song

Let's get up, let's get down

Let's get up, let's get down

Let's get up, let's get down

Rolling with the south from Lighter Shade of Brown

Let's get up, let's get down

Let's get up, let's get down

Let's get up, let's get down

Rolling with the south from Lighter Shade of Brown

What

Let's get up, let's get down
