Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you're the one that feels that the songs, they ain't real
Then you're missing what we're giving
Could it be that you are afraid to face what's true?
You better listen and pay attention
[Verse 2]
We love to play and sing so that you can do your thing
All it take is for you to be real
We want to make you smile, let us groove you for a while
'Cause we're dealing with our feelings
[Verse 3]
If our message is getting through, then here's what you've got to do
Stop your rapping, get to clapping
If you like our melody, come and sing along with me
Take our music, you can use it
[Verse 4]
If there's a feeling in your soul that seems you want to explode
That's the first clue to the new you
In our music, you will find it will educate your mind
Let it stimulate, we hope we motivate
[Verse 5]
Get on up or just shut the funk up
Get on up or just shut the funk up
Get on up or just shut the funk up
Get on up or just shut the funk up
Get on up or just shut the funk up
Get on up or just shut the funk up
Get on up or just shut the funk up
Get on up or just shut the funk up
Get on
[Verse 6]
(Get funky)
[Verse 7]
If our message is getting through, then here's what you've got to do
Stop your rapping, get to clapping
If you like our melody, come and sing along with me
Take our music, you can use it
[Verse 8]
If there's a feeling in your soul that seems you want to explode
That's the first clue to the new you
In our music, you will find it will educate your mind
Let it stimulate, we hope we motivate
