[Chorus]

Every once in awhile 

U need some ol' skool company 

Somebody that appreciates a sexy groove 

And a old school melody 

When god his son and the love of family 

Ruled in the community 

The songs you sing 

Lift you up 2 heaven 

A heaven we can believe in 



Everybody's talkin' about hard times 

Like it just started yesterday 

People eye know they've been strugglin' 

At least it seems that way 

Fat cats on wall street 

They got a bailout 

While somebody else got 2 wait 

700 billion but myold neighborhood 

Ain't nothing changed but the date 



[Chorus]



Ain't nothing ever come from complaining 

Xcept a bitter heart, that's true 

Follow along and you gon wanna do 

Something b4 the next chorus is thru 

The songs we sing 

They used 2 mean somethin 

Now every other one is just mean 

Rather than reminisce eye'm telling you this 

It's time 4 a brand new scene 



[Chorus]



Everybody's sinkin' in the quicksand 

Created by the keeper of time 

Cast aside by using ancient tricks 

That changes ur state of mind 

They got you catering the whims of the flesh 

B4 you get ur paper right 

Call me old fashioned 

But back in the day 

There wasn't no shorties in sight 



1st come job then come marriage b4 shorty 

Come out with the baby carriage call me 

Old fashioned just clap yo hands just clap yo hands 

Radio used 2 b local untouched by the man 

Songs we used 2 sing used 2 mean something 

Now they just bland like the drummer 

Where's the real drummer? michael b. 

Mint condition, morris day 

Jellybean wishin' sheila e and brother john, sometimes me 

'til dawn 



If the white house is black 

We gotta take the radio back 

Power 2 the people 

Power 2 the people 



Put this thing on repeat go back 2 one 

And just move ur feet tell ur friends prince and 

The mplsound we can't be beat 



Suckas
