you were probably thinking that the blues oh well
they had to be an all down and out thing
well I really got news for you ’cause you gotta know my friend
how bad & all down & ever out you should be

& back up to some truth & some self-esteem
: the blues always been about your whole way back up
all the long way back up to yourself :
so I’m tryin’ to arm you with some confidence uncle sam
I’m even providing you with a little bitta spunk
but if you don’t get rid of this power & war game soon
this agenda of some old gangsters’ mob

so you’ll be gettin’ the red hot funk
: yep’ a hit is a hit is a hit in your face
& you’ll be gettin’ the red hot funk :
