The Bar‐Kays - Shut the Funk Up Lyrics

If you're the one that feels that the soul sound ain't real
Then you're missing what we're giving
And could it be that you are afraid to face what's true
You'd better listen and pay attention

We love to play and sing so that you can do your thing
All it takes is for you to be real
We want to make you smile, let us groove you for a while
'Cause we're dealing with our feelings

If our message is getting through, then here's what you gotta do
Stop your rapping, get to clapping
If you like our melody come and sing along with me
Take our music but you can use it

If there's a feeling in your soul that makes you want to explode
That's the first clue, to the new you
In our music you will find it will educate your mind
Let it stimulate, we hope we motivate

Get on up or just shut the funk up
Get on up or just shut the funk up
Get funky

If our message is getting through then here's what you gotta do
Stop your rapping, get to clapping
If you like our melody come and sing along with me
Take our music but you can use it

If there's a feeling in your soul that makes you want to explode
That's the first clue, to the new you
In our music you will find, it will educate your mind
Let it stimulate, we hope we motivate
