Soul Brother

[Verse 1]

I didn't just pull into town

This happened right before my eyes

There's something missing in the sound

That so used to satisfy

Yeah it may rock, it may roll, but tell me

Whatever happened to the soul?

It's just a murky, jerky groove

It motivates but it don't move

And all the pimps and funky divas

Crank out their empty testifying

Yeah, they mixed it all in a bowl but then they

Forgot to add a pinch of soul

[Chorus]

Tell me, whatever happened to soul, brother?

Tell me, whatever happened to soul, brother?

Tell me, what did they do with the soul, brother?

Can I get a witness?

[Verse 2]

We're only here to entertain

And just pretend to be in pain

And if you wanna see me get down

Just watch me wave my hands around

Yeah it's just a distraction I'm told

I use it to hide my total lack of soul

[Chorus]

Yeah tell me, whatever happened to soul, brother?

Tell me, what did they do with the soul, brother?

Tell me, whatever happened, whatever happened soul, brother?

Can I get a witness yeah?

[Break - Flute solo]

[Verse 3]

I can't find a little a bit of soul

'Cause it's so hip to be a ho'

And all the brothers act like crooks

Yeah and all the kids in the suburbs write the radio hooks

And if you want to be a star

Just grab your crotch and squeeze it hard

And make your mom and daddy proud

As you dry hump for the crowd

Yeah it may be tired and old

But it's your only substitute for soul

[Outro]

Yeah I wanna know (soul brother)

Somebody tell me (soul brother)

Somebody tell me (soul brother)

I gotta know (soul brother)

When did it happen (soul brother)

Can I get a witness? (soul brother)

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa (soul brother)

I gotta know (soul brother)

Somebody tell me (soul brother)

I gotta know (soul brother)

Somebody tell me now (soul brother)

Whatever happened (soul brother)

What did they do with it (soul brother)

What did they do with it (soul brother)

Yeahhhhhh (soul brother)

I gotta know (soul brother)

Somebody tell me now (soul brother)

I gotta know (soul brother)

Can I get a witness? (soul brother)

Somebody tell me (soul brother)

Somebody tell me (soul brother)

Yeahhh yea yeah (soul brother)

Somebody tell me now (soul brother)

What did they do with it (soul brother)

Somebody tell me now (soul brother)

Somebody, somebody, somebody tell me now (soul brother)
