The noise went out of this room
a long time ago.
People left the party to go and
chase money. The world created alot of ho's.

Where do you stand people.
Gotta free your mind
from the shackles
and stop being a slave
to the things that money buys.
Nice clothes, a mansion, bling bling
and fancy cars ain't leavin'
with you on the day you die.

Why is it these days
so out of touch to be sexual
but so fashionable to hate?

It's time to bring back the funk.
It's time to bring back the soul.
A hip hop generation's out there
losing all control,
how they gonna get it back?

When it all comes down to it,
a good lover is all you really need.
Love yourself, love each other
and life will follow.
This truth just got lost
in the shadow of the religion of greed.

I ain't ashamed of who I am.
Neither should you.
Ain't no need to be frontin'
when the loving is true.

Like Marvin Gaye once
said let's get on again
my brother, my sister, my friend.

Got to get it on.
People to people,
soul to soul.
Gotta turn back on.
It's been too fucking long.
