Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Electric get flowin' and the funk don't stop
Electric get flowin' and the funk don't stop
Electric get flowin' and the funk don't stop
Electric get flowin' and the funk don't stop
Electric get flowin' and the funk don't stop
Tragically, they flowin', then the Zulu rock
[Verse 2]
Afrika Bambaataa
[Verse 3]
(Afrika)
Zulu nation
And yet your bourgeois folks are talkin' 'bout us
(Afrika Bambaataa)
You are the victim of Afrika Bambaataa
[Verse 4]
Are you ready for the new age?
They settin' the stage
(For the renegades)
To control your mind
They planned it, yes, they
(Zulu nation, heads of state)
[Verse 5]
Let's get electro-fied
Let's get electro-fied
Let's get electro-fied
Let's get electro-fied
Let's get electro-fied
Let's get electro-fied
Let's get electro-fied
Let's get electro-fied
[Verse 6]
Pump it, rockin' it, stickin' it, funkin' it (Afrika)
Pump it, rockin' it, stickin' it, funkin' it (Zulu nation)
Z-U-L-U, that's the way we say Zulu
Z-U-L-U, that's the way we say Zulu
(Zulu nation)
(City of Angels)
(Zulu nation)
(City of Angels)
(Afrika Bambaataa)
(Zulu nation)
[Verse 7]
Future shock
(We want your funk) Afrika
(We want your) Funk
Let's get electro-funk
Let's get electro-fied
Let's get electro-fied
Let's get electro-fied
The world is on fire
Can I take you higher?
The world is on fire
(Zulu nation)
Future
Future
[Verse 8]
Electric get flowin' and the funk don't stop
Time to clear the floor and let the Zulu rock
Hear the system, flowin', and the break beat drop
Machines make the music and let Afrika shox
[Verse 9]
Year 2000
Is one the way, some say
The year 2000
Has been here since yesterday
(Electric beat)
(Electric beat)
We're Zulu
[Verse 10]
The past has gotta stop
The future's gotta rock
The past has gotta stop
The future's gotta rock, say what?
(Future)
Z-U-L-U, that's the way we say Zulu
Z-U-L-U, that's the way we say Zulu
[Verse 11]
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa) Funk, funk, funk, funk, funk
(Bambaataa) Funk, funk, funk, funk, funk
(Bambaataa) Funk, funk, funk, funk, funk
(Bambaataa) Funk, funk, funk, funk, funk
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
(Bambaataa)
[Verse 12]
There's no knowledge on the thing
We're just merely holdin' on it
