I said can the drummer have some?

Can the drummer have some more?

The drummer ain't had none in a long time, y'all

What would I die for? The life force

Resting at the essence of my core

I don't recall applying for no college or Job Corps, not at all

Got it all just by knocking at God's door

Took my hide outdoors in the yard and did my chores

Battling in dive bars, sharpening my sword

Started on the ground floor, snuck me in the kitchen and side door

Supposed to be the opener, they hollered for encore

My song made my eyes moist just like yours

Tell you how I feel about it day and night like Al B. Sure!

It's not easy, no Sunday morning, no commodores

Earth, Wind & Fire my shining star

An ocean without a shore, oozing out of my pores

Catch me on the corner with the vinyl like Final Call

My squad violate all your rules and your bylaws

Especially the lie about your life in your rhyme clause

These are all my scars, low points and high score

Delivery five star, Jeff fortified like a Vice Lord

My life line cross with the mic cord, hardcore

Not just because, but for the right cause

It's the hand clap, finger snap, baby feet pitter-pat

Hummingbird wing flap, raindrop window tap

Heartrate and breathtaking and love making

The undertaking of the one language

Said the drum made the whole room move as one

Universal tongue excluding none

They crowd around the sound like the blooming sun

In unison, look at what the music done

Said the drum made the whole room move as one

Universal tongue excluding none

They crowd around the sound like the blooming sun

In unison

It's always the truth that call us

Tryna describe what the human heart is

Too enormous for you to chart it, but do record it

Nothing is truly gorgeous

As the ahs and the oohs moving through the chorus

It's as true as the womb that bore us

Roots that brought us to the soil that produce the purest

The fruit is how you know us if we're losing focus

Bootsy taught us that the one reassures us of who the source is

It's the jam that came to fan the flame

The calendar can't contain, the master can't restrain

Professor can't explain to live out the reign

To map the vast terrain of romance and pain

We're always praying when the song playing

Soul awaken, exposing or exclaiming

All the way from the ancient sacred, the shakin' it naked

The body can't claim it or the brain name it

It's the hand clap, finger snap, baby feet pitter-pat

Hummingbird wing flap, raindrop window tap

Heartrate and breathtaking and love making

The undertaking of the one language

Said the drum made the whole room move as one

Universal tongue excluding none

They crowd around the sound like the blooming sun

In unison, look at what the music done

Said the drum made the whole room move as one

Universal tongue excluding none

They crowd around the sound like the blooming sun

In unison, look at what the music done

It's the drum

Gather 'round the beat like a campfire

I said can the drummer have some?

Can the drummer have some more?

The drummer ain't had none in a long time, y'all
