A New Jam

[Chorus]
Everybody get up
And get the band
Now that we got our groove on
Let's start a new thing (Everybody)
Everybody get on
This is a new jam
So if you’re feelin' me tonight
Let's start a new thing

[Verse 1]
’Bout the time
We get it right, y'all
[?] along
They wanna get uptight
Instead of showing some love
Before the brand new program
They wanna front on a brother
And tell you that they don't understand

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, if I could testify
[?] (right on)
I would look him dead in the eye, eye
Tell him what I knew ([?], what'd you tell him, Shannon?)
Talk about the many good things that we could do
And it would not take you [?]
All it takes me and you

[Chorus]
Everybody get up
And get the band
Now that we got our groove on (Now that we got our groove on)
Let's start a new thing (Hey, y'all)
Everybody get on
This is a new jam (Oh, yeah)
If you're feelin' me tonight
Let’s start a new thing (There’s one more thing I wanna tell ya [?])

[Verse 2]
Said work it out
With both of my hand
Some kind of last-minute desperation
Try and bring some understanding
When the spirit moves you ([?])
Got to make your stand (that's right)
You gotta look deep within
Answer right then, "Am I doing everything I can?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, if it ain’t clear by now
What's been goin' on (What's been goin’ on)
You know, it's just like Marvin said
"And you best be born" (And you better be born)
Yeah, 'cause there's a mighty wind blowin'
I don't know where from, uh-uh (I don't know where from, uh-uh)
It's been an awful long time comin'
But a change is gon' come, ay-ah-oh

[Chorus]
Everybody get up
And get the band (Get the band)
Now that we got our groove on
Let's start a new thing (Everybody, keep it on)
Everybody get on
This is a new jam (Ooh-ooh-whooh-I)
If you're feelin' me tonight (Feelin', feelin' me)
Let's start a new thing (Oh)

[Refrain]
(All you people out there talking)
And what they say, 'bout the
Putting your money where your mouth is, ya' know
(Can you feel me?)
Actions speakin' louder than words, and all that
([?] something started)
Feel me now
(Can you feel me?)
Shannon, I was wondering if you bring that bridge back for me one time, just one time

[Bridge]
Well, if it ain't clear by now (right on)
What's been goin' on (Oh, oh)
Just like Marvin said
"And you best be born" ("And you best be born")
Well, [?] there's a mighty wind blowin'
I don't know where from (I don't know where from)
It's been an awful long time comin' (It's been an awful long time comin')
But a change is gon' come, ay-ah-oh

[Chorus]
Everybody get up
And get the band (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Now that we got our groove on (We got our groove on)
Let's start a new thing (Let's start a new thing)
Everybody get on
This is a new jam (This is a new jam)
If you feelin' me tonight, let me hear you say
Oh, yeah!
