“Music for my mother” refers to the music genre blues, since it was already pretty old at the time this was released (1970). The singer interpolates the story of a slave expressing his feeling through blues, but exchanges all the blues references with funk references.
Music for My Mother Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Man, I was in a place
Called Keeprunnin', Mississippi one time
And I heard someone on my way back
Sounded a little something like raw funk to me
So I slowed down and took a listen
And this is all I could hear, baby
[Hook]
Whoa-hah-hey
Whoa-hah-ha
[Verse 2]
It got so good to me, man, that I stopped runnin'
My feet was tired anyhow
So I reached in my inside pocket
And got my harp out
Sit down by old beat-up railroad train
And get me, get myself a little of that old funky thang
[Vocal harmonica interpolation]
Can you all feel what I mean?
This is what you call way back yonder funk
[Hook]
[Outro]
Say it loud - I'm funky and I'm proud
Say it loud - I'm funky and I'm proud
Say it loud - I'm funky and I'm proud
I'm aging
Old funk
