Static - James Brown

When I was younger, there used to be

Huh, troublemakers, they don’t bother me

No need to hide, I’ll get right to the point

Let everybody know: Godfather’s running the joint

Static!

(No!)

Static!

(No!)

Won’t be no static (No!)

Don’t start none, won’t be none!

Now do it!

Keep it up!

Yeeaaooow!

Feeling ostentatiously chill

Just about to begin, rrrrah!

And where are we?

In the place to be

Huh, static!

(No!)

Static!

(No!)

Won’t be no static (No!)

Don’t start none, won’t be none!

Static!

(No static)

Static!

(No static)

Won’t be no static (No static)

Don’t start none, won’t be none

Don’t start no static, huh, there won’t be none

Then I won’t have to put you on the run

Coldblooded, don’t make me laugh!

With Mr. Dynamite, baby you gotta have…

Static!

(No!)

Static!

(No!)

Won’t be no static (No!)

Don’t start none, won’t be none!

Static!

(No static)

Static!

(No static)

Won’t be no static (No static)

Don’t start none, won’t be none

Hit it!

Good God, uh, yay-yeas, ah

Feeling ostentatiously chill

Right here, yaw!

I need it, yaaaow!

Huh-huh

I need the speed

Listen here, listen here, listen here!

We gone drop the music

And let the static roll on by itself

You hear me?

(Yes!)

Because the groove is so great

I don’t wanna change nothin' (you got it!)

Let it roll, man!

Huh, one, two, three…

Static!

(No!)

Static!

(No!)

Won’t be no static (No!)

Don’t start none, won’t be none!

Static!

(No static)

Static!

(No static)

Static!

(No static)

Don’t start none, won’t be none

Hey hey hey, hey, yes sir, a-ha, do it!

He’s Soul Brother #1 in Brooklyn!

He’s Soul Brother #1 in Manhattan!

He’s Soul Brother #1 on Staten Island!

He’s Soul Brother #1 in Jamaica!

He’s Soul Brother #1 in the Bronx!

Whisper for Mr. Dynamite James B., James, James, aahh…

Huh!

Feeling, chill…

He’s Soul Brother #1 in Parkland Projects!

Soul Brother #1 in Lincoln Terrace!

Won’t be no static (No!)

Don’t start none, won’t be none!
