1
Every million miles ya haffe tek a first step
2
Every million miles ya haffe tek a first step
3
I was sick of flippin' channels / and sick of
4
flippin' quarters
5
I called my man Zulu/ said, "Meet me on the corner"
6
Maybe we can check out the clubs in the city
7
'cause waitin' at the crib can make you feel shitty
8
so he hopped into my ride on the squeaky door side and
9
we hit the Upper Room/ where they keep the funk alive
10
The man at the door/ invited us inside
11
He said there isn't any cover/ if you're keepin' up the vibe
12
We took it upstairs to big up the area
13
the people in the house was shakin' up their derrier
14
Raisin up their hands and raisin up their voices
15
Tokes was the D.J. I was happy with his choices
16
maxin' and mixin' the beats they was fixin'
17
my brain like a smoke that was doubly, triply, dope
18
the decadence is gone and lifemay never be the same
19
'cause when the beat hits
20
you feel no pain!
21
(chorus)
22
so a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me
23
a piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see
24
a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me
25
but I don't act peaceful if you're not that way to me
26
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
27
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
28
Five-O was outside waitin' with their vans
29
hopin' that shit would get outta hand
30
so dat they could test their weapons
31
on innocent civilians,
32
the high tech shit costin' million and millions
33
money should've spent on something for community
34
but that's O.K. because we got the unity
35
so fuck the police! we can keep the peace!
36
we can make love and conquer that disease
37
because nothing in the world is impossible tome
38
I can swim on dry land and run upon the sea
39
and nothing in the world is impossible to me
40
you can chop off my legs and I'll land upon my feet
41
I turn it over to the spirit and I leave her in charge
42
my favorite record sounds like an African Head Charge
43
She'll beat up the beats with and eggbeater
44
pour em in the batter
45
she'll make 'em sound fatter and fatter
46
'cause food for the soul is the flavor of the music
47
spice for the brain is the essence of the lyrics
48
songs can be delicious and also be nutritious
49
You can't payfor culture", it can only be experienced
50
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
51
"WELL HAVE YOU EVER BEEN EXPERIENCED!"
52
"WELL"
53
(chorus)
54
If the funk is on time
55
then we call it punctual
56
we're matchin up the footsteps
57
spiritual and functional
58
like carnivale in Rio
59
the Charlie Hunter trio
60
Had the groovers groovin'
61
and all the movers movin'
62
Cuba, Twist, Reminisce and NME
63
Graffiti on the street for everyone to see
64
even the elders in the house was havin' fun
65
because we livin' life at the top of our lungs
66
It was truly a life celebration that night
67
had the world's greatest time
68
but we'd never sell the movie rights
69
to Morrie Povich, or anyone like that
70
and anyone who does is really, really whack!
71
We fish or cut bait and we're not takin' prisoners
72
and if you comin' late then you might've missed some a this
73
funky good time we had here in fronta you
74
so long, farewell, alveerdersain, adieau to you
75
(chorus)
