Can You Get to That Lyrics
I once had a life or rather,
life had me
I was one among many,
or at least I seemed to be
But I read an old quotation
in a book just yesterday
Said you're 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 wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
I recollect with 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 lovin' days are done
Checks you signed with a love and kiss'll later come back
signed "insufficient funds"
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get
I wanna know if you can get to that
When you base your love on credit
and your lovin' days are done
Checks you signed with a love and kiss'll later come back
signed "insufficient funds" (ya'll get to that)
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get...
life had me
I was one among many,
or at least I seemed to be
But I read an old quotation
in a book just yesterday
Said you're gonna reap just what you sow,
the debts you make you have to pay (Can you get to that?)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
all the good times we used to have
But you were making preparations for the coming separation
and you blew everything we had
and your lovin' days are done
Checks you signed with a love and kiss'll later come back
signed "insufficient funds"
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get
I wanna know if you can get to that
and your lovin' days are done
Checks you signed with a love and kiss'll later come back
signed "insufficient funds" (ya'll get to that)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get...

who said funk bands had to make dumb party music? this is like a dylan-esque protest song but with a certain "black" kinda soul. I love this song
Man... what a great groove.
Heartcatching dance-sing-a-long compositional greatness
No better acoustic funk groove ever created. 'Sting Ray Davis' bass wobble vocals on this and the other tracks he is featured on, on Maggot Brain, really works for me every time.
This is a favorite for me. Did anybody hear it at the end of the season finale of Entourage?
The words are "INSUFFICIENT FUND." Insufficient fun doesn't make any sense.
