sick of flippin' channels
and sick of flippin' corners
I call my man Pulu,
say meet me on the corner
Maybe we can check out the
clubs in the city
Because waitin' at the crib
can make you feel shit
So we hop into my ride
on the squeaky door side
And we hit the upper room
where they keep the funk alive
The man at the door
invited us inside
He said there isn't any cover
if you keepin' up the vibe
We took it upstairs to big up the area
The people in the house
were shakin' up the derriere
Raisin' up their hands
and raisin' up their voices
Tokes was the DJ,
I was happy with his choices
And maxin' and mixin',
the beats they would fixin'
My brain like a smoke
that was doubly dribbly dope
The decadence is gone
and life might never be the same
Cause when the beat hits, you feel no pain
So a piece of peace for you,
a piece of peace for me
A piece of peace
for every peaceful per son that you see
I said a piece of peace for you,
a piece of peace for me
A piece of peace
for every peaceful per son that you see
I said a piece of peace for you,
a piece of peace for me
A piece of peace
for every peaceful person that you see
I said a piece of peace for you,
and a piece of peace for me
But I don't act peaceful
if you're not the way to me
Every million mile
you have to take a first step
Well 5 -0 is outside,
waiting with the vans
Hoping that s*** will get out of hand
So that they could test the weapons
on innocent civilians
The high -tech bit cost the
millions of millions
Money should've spent on
something for community
But that's okay because we got the unity
So f*** the police,
we can keep the peace
We can make love and
conquer that disease
Because nothin' in the world
is impossible to me
I can swim on dry land
and run upon the sea
And nothin' in the world
is impossible to me
You can chop off my legs
and I'll land upon my feet
I turn it over to the spirit,
I leave her in charge
My fa vorite record
sounds like an African hitchhike
She'll beat up the beats
with an egg beat
I'll ball in the batter,
she'll make them sound fatter and fatter
With food for the souls,
the flavor of the music
And the spice for the brains,
the essence of the lyrics
But science can be delicious
and also be nutritious
You can fade from culture,
it can only be experience
Boom, boom, boom,
well have you ever been experienced?
So, a piece, a piece for you,
a piece, a piece for me
A piece, a piece
for every piece of person that you see
I said a piece, a piece for you,
a piece, a piece for me
A piece, a piece
for every piece of person that you see
I said a piece, a for you,
and a piece, a piece for me
A piece, a piece
for every piece of person that you see
I said a piece, a piece for you,
and a piece, a piece for me
But I don't act peaceful
if it's not the way to move
Say throw your hands in the air,
I wanna see all your armpit hair
Say throw your hands in the air,
I wanna see all your armpit hair
Every minute, mile,
ya fi take a first step
Every minute, mile, ya fi take a first step
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Come back one time
Said if the funk is on time,
then we call a puncture
Well, we're matching up
the footsteps,
spiritual and functional
Like Carnival in Rio, the Charlie Hunter Trio
Had the groovers moving
and all the movers moving
To a twist, reminiscing, and I mean
Spraying on the street
for everyone to see
Well, even the elders in the
houses having fun
Because we're living life
at the top of our lungs
It was truly a life celebration that night
Had the world's greatest time
We never sell the movie rights to a poet
Or anyone like that
And anyone who does is really,
really whack
The district cut late
and we're not taking prisoners
And if you come on late,
then you might have missed
Some of this funky good time
we had here and funny
So long, farewell, I'll be the sailor due to you
A piece, a piece for you
A piece, a piece for me
A piece, a piece
for every piece of person that you see
I said a piece a piece for you,
a piece a piece for me
A piece a piece
for every piece of per son that you see
I said a piece a piece for you,
and a piece a piece for me
A piece a piece
for every piece of person that you see
I said a piece a piece for you,
and a piece a piece for me
But I don't act peaceful
if you're not the way to me
Every million mile
you have to take a first step
Every million mile
you
have to take a first
step
So every day I die, I pick up my purse, yeah
