Can You Get To That
Hit It And Quit It
You And Your Folks, Me and My Folks
Super Stupid
Back In Our Minds
Wars Of Armageddon
{spoken}
Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time
For y'all have knocked her up.
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe
I was not offended
For I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in my own shit.
Come on Maggot Brain
Go on Maggot Brain
I once had a life, or rather
Life had me
I was one among many
Or at least I seemed to be
Well, I read an old quotation in a book just yesterday
Said "Gonna reap just what you sow,
The debts you make you have to pay."
Can you get to that?
Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey!) (get to that!)
Can you get (can you get to that)(I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that
I recollect with a-mixed emotions
All the good times we used to have
But you were making preparations
For the coming separation
And you blew everything we had
When you base your love on credit
And your loving days are done
Checks you signed with a-love and kisses
Later come back signed "insufficient funds"
Yeah, get to that!
Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey!) (get to that!)
Can you get (can you get to that)(I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that
(x3)
When you base your life on credit
And your loving days are done
Checks you signed with love and kisses
Later come back signed "insufficient funds"
Y'all get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey!) (get to that!)
Can you get (can you get to that)(I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that
(x2)
I want you to hit it
Good god, hit it and quit it
I want you to, hooo-whoaa
Oh mama, hit it
Good god, hit it and quit it
I want you to, ohhhh, oh yeah
Oh mama, hit it
Good god, hit it and quit it
I want you to, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
You can shake it to the east
Shake it to the west
Hit it
Good god, hit it and quit it
Yeah, all up and down
And move it all around
Hit it
Good god, hit it and quit it
Yeah
You can shake it for dinner
Or you could spread it all around
Hit it
Good god, hit and quit it
I want you to hit it and quit it (x 11)
You can shake it to the east
Shake it to the west
Hit it
Good god, hit it and quit it
You can shake it to the one you love the best
Hit it
Ha, hit it and quit it
Ahh, good god, hit it and quit it
Ooh, good god, hit it and quit it
Oh, good god, hit it and quit it
Quit it, quit it, quit it
{spoken}
OK play that down from the top
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(x5)
(let me hear you say)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(let me hear you say)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(yeah-yeah) yeah, yeah, yeah
If you and your folks love me and my folks like
Me and my folks love you and your folks
If there ever was folks
That ever ever was poor
If you and your thing dig me and my thing
Like me and my thing dig you and your thing
And we all got a thing
Yeah, and it's a very good thing
Ha! But if in our fears, we don't learn to trust each other
And if in our tears, we don't learn to share with your brother
You know that hate is gonna keep on multiplying
And you know that man is gonna keep right on dying
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(x4)
The rich got a big piece of this and that
The poor got a big piece of roaches and rats
Can you get to that
Tell me where it's at
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
{until last two verses, under other lyrics}
Hey!
You want peace
I want peace
They want peace
And the kids need peace
There won't be no peace
The rich got a big piece of this and that
The poor got a big piece of roaches and rats
Can you get to that
Tell me where it's at
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah
If you and your folks loved me and my folks
Like me and my folks love you and your folks
If there ever was folks
That ever ever was poor
If you and your thing dig me and my thing
Like me and my thing dig you and your thing
Then we all got a thing
And it's a very good thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah (x2)
Super stupid bought a nickel bag
Thought it was coke, but it was skag
Super stupid did a one and one
Then his eyes begin to water and his nose begin to run
Oh! stupid with your ups and downs
Your maggot brain, your grins and frowns
Super stupid you're here today
You've lost the fight and the winner is fear
Did-did-did did-um
Whoa, hey
We are back in our minds, again
(x3)
We don't fight no more
We done close that door
This time for sure
We can't stand no more
Fussin' and a-cussin' each other
When we're souls to your brother
Livin' in this world we all live in
We are back in our minds, again
(x3)
We don't fight no more (we don't fight, y'all)
We don't close that door
This time for sure (we don't fight, y'all)
We can't stand no more
Fussin' and a-cussin' each other
When we're souls to your brothers
Livin' in this world we all live in
Back in our minds again
{spoken}
