James Brown Is Dead

The man on the radio said
James Brown is dead
The Godfather of soul
Lays in his bed
(Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)
Wake up, (got high) sho'nuff
Got in the ride turned the radio up
Then they said James Brown is dead
Is it true or am I just doped up?
Know what? I called my folks up
They said he died cuz hip-hop sucks
Ain't got no soul like a old pair of Chuck's
It's about time somebody stepped up.
Man on the radio said (I regret to report)
James Brown is dead (just press record)
The Godfather of soul
Lays in his bed
(Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)
Hit the studio, sho'nuff
Yo Cisco, turn my headphones up
(Turn my headphones up)
I got a message for the kids of America
Play it loud in your hi-fi stereo
Wi-fi, download the ring tone
"California Love" is your theme song
Drop the guitar, let me hear the beat y'all
Do like Dr. Brown and move your feet y'all
Man on the radio said (I regret to report)
James Brown is dead (just press record)
The Godfather of soul
Lays in his bed
(Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)
I just got back from a little vacation
Grew some wings and flew to Vegas
Met a girl, took her round' the world
From New York New York to Caesar's (Caesar's)
Now I'm sitting in L.A. alone
I fell asleep with my blue jeans on
I woke up, had three missed calls
They said James Brown is gone
(James Brown is dead)
I regret to report
Have you heard what the kids are listening to?
I regret to report
James Brown is dead
I regret to report
