Funky President (people It's Bad) [single Version] Lyrics - James Brown

Funk it down, nasty 

Hey, listen to the man 

Well, I'm not bothered 

Pay back, cold lady 

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, could be, you didn't say much to me 

You just changed, a brand new funky 

There's a difference, yeah huh 

Stock market going up, jobs going down 

It ain't no funky job to be Brown 

Prices keep going up, I'm chained to my bath 

Now I drink from a paper cup, gettin' bad 

People, people, we've got to get over 

Before we go under, listen to me 

Let's get together raise 

Let's get together and get some land 

Raise our food like the man 

Save our money like the mother 

Put up the factory on the job 

Wow, tell them, Godfather 

Hey Lord, hey, turn on your fountain water 

Get down and praise the Lord 

Get sexy, get funky and dance 

Love me baby, love me nice too 

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 fountain water, I know it's tough 

Turn on your fountain water, 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 lady 

People, people, hey, people, people 

People, people, don't you see what's goin' 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've got to say it again 

We've 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 don't do you, no 

Just what I meant but that's changed 

I've 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...
