Soul Brother

[Verse 1]
I didn't just pull into town
This happened right before my eyes
There's something missing in the sound
That so used to satisfy
Yeah it may rock, it may roll, but tell me
Whatever happened to the soul?

It's just a murky, jerky groove
It motivates but it don't move
And all the pimps and funky divas
Crank out their empty testifying
Yeah, they mixed it all in a bowl but then they
Forgot to add a pinch of soul

[Chorus]
Tell me, whatever happened to soul, brother?
Tell me, whatever happened to soul, brother?
Tell me, what did they do with the soul, brother?
Can I get a witness?

[Verse 2]
We're only here to entertain
And just pretend to be in pain
And if you wanna see me get down
Just watch me wave my hands around
Yeah it's just a distraction I'm told
I use it to hide my total lack of soul

[Chorus]
Yeah tell me, whatever happened to soul, brother?
Tell me, what did they do with the soul, brother?
Tell me, whatever happened, whatever happened soul, brother?
Can I get a witness yeah?

[Break - Flute solo]

[Verse 3]
I can't find a little a bit of soul
'Cause it's so hip to be a ho'
And all the brothers act like crooks
Yeah and all the kids in the suburbs write the radio hooks

And if you want to be a star
Just grab your crotch and squeeze it hard
And make your mom and daddy proud
As you dry hump for the crowd
Yeah it may be tired and old
But it's your only substitute for soul

[Outro]
Yeah I wanna know (soul brother)
Somebody tell me (soul brother)
Somebody tell me (soul brother)
I gotta know (soul brother)
When did it happen (soul brother)
Can I get a witness? (soul brother)
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa (soul brother)
I gotta know (soul brother)
Somebody tell me (soul brother)
I gotta know (soul brother)
Somebody tell me now (soul brother)
Whatever happened (soul brother)
What did they do with it (soul brother)
What did they do with it (soul brother)
Yeahhhhhh (soul brother)
I gotta know (soul brother)
Somebody tell me now (soul brother)
I gotta know (soul brother)
Can I get a witness? (soul brother)
Somebody tell me (soul brother)
Somebody tell me (soul brother)
Yeahhh yea yeah (soul brother)
Somebody tell me now (soul brother)
What did they do with it (soul brother)
Somebody tell me now (soul brother)
Somebody, somebody, somebody tell me now (soul brother)
