Curtis say "People get ready!"
on a lazy rainy Sunday
As I lay back and watch Link do his thang
on the Mod Squad - Oh God
Yeah Herbie, George C, and Rufus too
take turns spinning
While Roberta and Donny give us the news
yeah I'm a 70's child
Be real Black for me
My sistah's doin her thang on the Soul Train line
While my Brutha lays back chillin'
Flippin' through Vibe
Afro Blue My Mind
Yeah Yeah
If Beale Street could talk she'd say
lots about retro, blow out combs, and slaves
"Just a touch of Love" - remember?
Those were the days when life was fun and free
and the only mystery was platform shoes
while discovering Billie's blues
Stevie's talking book of innervisions
leaped Kareem Abdul Jabar into the air
Screaming! We sat eating collard greens and chittlins
Not a happier soul could ya find
Afro Blue My Mind
Yeah Yeah
Lionel, Lamont, Freddie Boom Boom Washington
Yeah you know they had 'em
and Angela's sayin'
Right on, Right on
Do ya see what I see
Right On
Uptown Saturday Night
Hip hop takes flight!
To a time and place where the Natural's in
and in psychedelic shacks
folks listen to Ben Harper
As he creeps up on us
like a fine wine- yeah!
Afro Blue My Mind
Yeah Yeah
