Rarer Than Earth
Background
Previously another Staggercat song. Written by MC, inspired by the lyrics of a dozen or so classic funk songs. This version cuts down significantly on the number of verses, but still gives plenty of opportunity to shake ya rump.
- Darby
Lyrics
We are rarer than earth
the home of our birth
may not be the motor city
We got a nitty gritty soul
to which you can roll
while the ladies shake their, well...
From our tower of power
we gonna shower
all the funk upon the people
I may not be the son of a preacher man
but i can still kick it from the steeple
[Chorus]
and we're breakin' it down
makin' it funky
everybody get down
like a bow-legged monkey
and we're breakin' it down
makin' it funky
everybody get down
like a bow-legged monkey
everybody gotta get down
gotta give it up for Sly
told us we could make it if we try
and we're so groovy
here at WEFUNK
oh ya know we love to
play that funky music
and we're doin' it to death
oh, can you feel my breath
all up and down your neck
gonna take you to a place where
brown and white and yellow
all connect
1, 2,3
[chorus]
[JAM]
[chorus]
Gonna set this funk on fire
we aim to reach a
higher understanding
got a mission to complete
so, get up offa that thing
as we're commanding
We got work to do
We gotta break it down to you
so you can shake your rump
gotta turn this mutha out
oh we'll all be bustin out
so we can bump
1, 2, 3
[chorus]
