James Brown Is Dead Songtext
von Shwayze

The Man (Yo, yo, yo) on the radio said:
(Yo, yo, yo) James Brown is dead
(Yo, yo, yo) Godfather of soul, lays in his bed, (Yo, yo, yo) yeh

(Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)
Yo, uh
Woke up, (Got high)
Sho′nuff (Sky high)
Got in the ride turned the radio up
Then they said James Brown was dead
Is it true? Or am I just doped up
Know what? I'm calling my folks up
They said he died ′cause Hip Hop sucks
Aint got no soul like a old pair of chucks
It's about time that somebody stepped up

And the man (Yo, yo, yo) on the radio said (I regret to report)
James Brown is Dead (Yo, yo, yo), (Just Press Record)
(Yo, yo, yo) Godfather of soul, lays in his bed, (Yo, yo, yo) yeh


(Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)
Hit the studio (Check one, two)
Sho'nuff, Yo Cisco 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 ringtone
California Love is your theme song
Drop the guitar, le′mme hear the beat y′all
Do like Dr. Brown and move your feet y'all

And on the radio said (Yo, yo, yo), (I regret to report)
James Brown is Dead (Yo, yo, yo), (Just Press Record)
(Yo, yo, yo) Godfather of soul, lays in his bed, (Yo, yo, yo) yeh

(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
Form New York, New York to Ceasar'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 James Brown is dead
Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)


And the man (Yo, yo, yo) on the radio said (I regret to report)
(Yo, yo, yo) James Brown is Dead, (Just Press Record)
(Yo, yo, yo) Godfather of soul, lays in his bed, (Yo, yo, yo) yeh
(Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)

And the man (Yo, yo, yo) on the radio said (I regret to report)
(Yo, yo, yo) James Brown is Dead (Just Press Record)
(Yo, yo, yo) Godfather of soul, lays in his bed, (Yo, yo, yo) yeh
