Parliament - Chocolate City lyrics
[Parliament - Chocolate City lyrics]
Uh, what's happening CC?
They still call it the White House
But that's a temporary condition, too
Can you dig it, CC?
To each his reach
And if I don't cop, it ain't mine to have
But I'll be reachin' for ya
Cause I love ya, CC right on
There's a lot of chocolate cities, around
We've got Newark, we've got Gary
Somebody told me we got LA
And we're working on Atlanta
But you're the capital, CC
Gainin' on ya get down
Gainin' on ya movin' in and on ya
Gainin' on ya
Can't you feel my breath, heh
Gainin' on ya
All up around your neck, heh heh
Hey, CC they say you're jivin' game
It can't be changed
But on the positive side
You're my piece of the rock
And I love you, CC can you dig it?
Hey, uh
We didn't get our forty acres and a mule
But we did get you, CC, heh, yeah
Gainin' on ya movin' in and around ya
God bless CC and it's vanilla suburbs
Gainin' on ya gainin' on ya
Gainin' on ya gainin' on ya
What's happening, blood? Gainin' on ya
Gainin' on ya gainin' on ya
Gainin' on ya
Yeah what's happening, black?
Brother black, blood even
Yeah ahh, just funnin' gettin' down
Ah, blood to blood ah, players to ladies
The last percentage count was eighty
You don't need the bullet when
You got the ballot
Are you up for the downstroke, CC?
Chocolate City are you with me out there?
And when they come to march on ya
Tell 'em to make sure they
Got their James Brown pass
And don't be surprised if Ali
Is in the White House
Reverend Ike, Secretary of the Treasure
Richard Pryor, Minister of Education
Stevie Wonder, Secretary of fine arts
And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady
Are you out there, CC?
A chocolate city is no dream
It's my piece of the rock and I dig you, CC
God bless Chocolate City and it's
(gainin' on ya) vanilla suburbs
Can y'all get to that?
Gainin' on ya easin' in
Gainin' on ya! In yo' stuff
Gainin' on ya huh, can't get enough
Gainin' on ya gainin' on ya
Be mo' funk, be mo' funk gainin' on ya
Can we funk you too? Gainin' on ya
Right on, Chocolate City
Yeah, get deep real deep
Heh be mo' funk
Mmmph, heh get deep
Bad unh, heh
Just got New York, I'm told
They still call it the White House
But that's a temporary condition, too
Can you dig it, CC?
To each his reach
And if I don't cop, it ain't mine to have
But I'll be reachin' for ya
Cause I love ya, CC right on
