Shut The Funk Up - The Bar-Kays

If you’re the one that feels that the soul sound ain’t real

Then you’re missing what we’re giving

And could it be that you are afraid to face what’s true

You’d better listen and pay attention

We love to play and sing so that you can do your thing

All it takes is for you to be real

We want to make you smile, let us groove you for a while

'Cause we’re dealing with our feelings

If our message is getting through, then here’s what you gotta do

Stop your rapping, get to clapping

If you like our melody come and sing along with me

Take our music but you can use it

If there’s a feeling in your soul that makes you want to explode

That’s the first clue, to the new you

In our music you will find it will educate your mind

Let it stimulate, we hope we motivate

Get on up or just shut the funk up

Get on up or just shut the funk up

Get funky

If our message is getting through then here’s what you gotta do

Stop your rapping, get to clapping

If you like our melody come and sing along with me

Take our music but you can use it

If there’s a feeling in your soul that makes you want to explode

That’s the first clue, to the new you

In our music you will find, it will educate your mind

Let it stimulate, we hope we motivate
