James Brown Is Dead

The Man (Yo, yo, yo) on the radio said:

(Yo, yo, yo) James Brown is dead

(Yo, yo, yo) Godfather of soul, lays in his bed, (Yo, yo, yo) yeh

(Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)

Yo, uh

Woke up, (Got high)

Sho'nuff (Sky high)

Got in the ride turned the radio up

Then they said James Brown was dead

Is it true? Or am I just doped up

Know what? I'm calling my folks up

They said he died 'cause Hip Hop sucks

Aint got no soul like a old pair of chucks

It's about time that somebody stepped up

And the man (Yo, yo, yo) on the radio said (I regret to report)

James Brown is Dead (Yo, yo, yo), (Just Press Record)

(Yo, yo, yo) Godfather of soul, lays in his bed, (Yo, yo, yo) yeh

(Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)

Hit the studio (Check one, two)

Sho'nuff, Yo Cisco turn my headphones up

I got a message for the kids of America

Play it loud in your Hi-Fi stereo

Wi-Fi, download the ringtone

California Love is your theme song

Drop the guitar, le'mme hear the beat y'all

Do like Dr. Brown and move your feet y'all

And on the radio said (Yo, yo, yo), (I regret to report)

James Brown is Dead (Yo, yo, yo), (Just Press Record)

(Yo, yo, yo) Godfather of soul, lays in his bed, (Yo, yo, yo) yeh

(Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)

I just got back from a little vacation

Grew some wings and flew to Vegas

Met a girl, took her 'round the world

Form New York, New York to Ceasar's

Now I'm sitting in L.A. alone

I fell asleep with my blue jeans on

I woke up had three missed calls

They said: James Brown is gone

(James Brown is Dead)

(I regret to report)

Have you heard what the kids are listening to?

I regret to report James Brown is Dead

(I regret to report James Brown is dead

Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)

And the man (Yo, yo, yo) on the radio said (I regret to report)

(Yo, yo, yo) James Brown is Dead, (Just Press Record)

(Yo, yo, yo) Godfather of soul, lays in his bed, (Yo, yo, yo) yeh

(Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)

And the man (Yo, yo, yo) on the radio said (I regret to report)

(Yo, yo, yo) James Brown is Dead (Just Press Record)

(Yo, yo, yo) Godfather of soul, lays in his bed, (Yo, yo, yo) yeh
