Lyrics

Here we go again

Why it’s gotta be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Why it’s gotta be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Get off the grind

Stop wasting time

Not another nickel

This funk is mine

Watch your feet

Don’t miss the beat

All the funky people

Get out of your seat

Y’all

Why it’s gotta be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Overtime

Trying to get me paid

Bad as a groove

Gets in the way

Get on the mine

Don’t break the dime

Not another nickel

This funk is mine

Get on your feet

I don’t like the beat

Like funky people

Get out of your seat

Here we go again

We’re on a dime

Stop wasting time

Not another nickel

This funk is mine

Why it’s gotta be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this

Funk, it otta’ be like this

You know it otta’ be like this
