James Brown - It's a New Day, Pt. 1

Fellas, things done got too far gone
We gotta let the girls know what they gotta do for us
It's done got to be a drag, man
A man can't do nothin' no more, a-ha-ha-ha-ha
It's really a drag, you got to do somethin'
Can I tell 'em? Let me on

Girl, let me tell you what you got to do
T.C.B. so mellow, 'til nobody can get through
When he asks you do you love him, smilin' and kiss his cheek
Walk away and twist your hip, make sure you keep him weak
Don't let nobody take care your business better than you do
Do what he wants, give what he wants, respect will come to you

And than you can hold your man, you can hold your man
You can hold your man, you can hold, hey

Never get so confident so it's nothin' you want to know
Because that's the time you lose your thing
And then you got to blow, you know what we got
(Indecipherable)

Use your thing so carefully and don't be a total loss
Sister, when you love your man, be careful how you tell him that
He will put you back in a corner and use you like a Sunday hat

You can hold your man, you can hold your man
You can hold your man, you can hold, hey

Hit it, good God, get it
Hit me now, good God

Never get too confident so it's nothin' you want to know
Because that's the time you lose your thing, then you got to blow
You know I got what it takes to be the untold boss
You gotta use it carefully and you can't be a total

Hit me now, good God, hit it
Yeah, good God

Fellas, can I get some help?
Can I get some help?
Let me have some help
Can I get a witness?

Said I need a witness?
Said I need a witness?
I, I, I, I need a witness
Can I get a witness?

I want a witness over there
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness over here
I'm a witness right here

I'm a witness over there
Is a witness over there?
I'm a witness right here
Wait a minute

Girl, let me tell you what you got to do
T.C.B. so mellow, and nobody can get through
And when asks you do you love him
Smile and kiss his cheek, good God
Walk away and twist your hip, make sure you keep him weak
Ah make sure you keep him weak, good God, sure you keep him

Ain't it funky now? Good God
Ain't it funky now? Hey
Ain't it funky now?
Ain't it funky now?

Ain't it funky now?
Ain't it funky now?
Ain't it funky now?
One more, ha, don't, good God

Don't let nobody take care your business
Better than you do
Do what he wants, give what he wants
Respect will come to you

Ain't it funky now?
Can I get some help?
Let me have some help
Than clap your hands
Then clap your hands

Build it up a little higher
Build it up a little higher
A little bit higher now
Build it up a little higher

Ain't it funky now?
Ain't it funky now? Yeah
Believe I'll scream
Can I scream, brother?
Can I scream, brother?

Brother, can I scream now?
Can I scream, brother?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Gotta scream

Good God, gotta scream, now
I gotta scream, now
I gotta scream, now
I gotta scream, now

They wanna hold the man
They need to hold the man
They need to satisfy the man
They need to hold the man
They got to hold the man

Ain't it funky now?
Good God, ain't it funky now?
Hey, yeah, yeah
Can I get some help?

I gotta have some help
I wanna get some help
Wanna get some help

I wanna, wanna, wanna
Wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
Yeah, now, good God
Can I? Can I? Can I? Can I? Can I? Can I? Yeah

Never get so confident, so it's nothin' you want to know
Because that's the time you lose your thing, and then you got to blow
You know you got what it takes to be the untold boss
You gotta use it carefully, you can't be a total loss

So girls, look here
Sister, when you tell your love your man
Careful how you tell him that
He'll take you for granted and use you for a Sunday hat

Come on, can I get some help?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
A witness over there?
A witness over there?

A witness, witness, witness, witness
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?

Can, can I get a witness?
Hey yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, ah
Can I get a witness?
Ah, Lord, ah, ah

Brother, do you know what I'm talkin' about?
Brother, do you understand it now? Ha
Bobby Byrd, you know what I'm talkin' about?
Ha, can I get a witness?
Hey Bobby, do you know what I'm talkin' about?
Brother, they'll do you wrong, they'll do you wrong
