Description
My first complete collaboration, very grateful to Bageltogo (http://www.macjams.com/artist/bageltogo) for such an amazing track. Hoping the lyrics and mix do it justice. Turns out I'm not Bobby Womack, but this was fun to do. All comment welcome as always, many thanks for the listen!

Lyrics/Voice: BoiAfrica
Shake a leg now honey cuz we know
Summer don't last forever,
And if you shake it just right on time,
Be a jukebox down the line
Mirror, mirror tell me
Is my reflection what I'm feeling? you said
"Girl if you keep him waiting,
Plenty bees to satisfy!"
Baby gotta keep it moving,
Cuz there ain't no time for crying or leaving!
And just like a bad love song
I take pleasure for desire,
Leave me hungry when he come around,
Keep on burning all my fire,
Ain't no crime to love him
Just a crime to look and touch because,
My baby got that sugar, poison
Deep inside of me!
But I know I can keep it moving,
Cuz there ain't no funk in crying or lying!
My baby's got style,
He got eyes so wide they wanna kiss the sky
And I don't know why
Why he treat me so bad
Leave me sad,
When all I want is my man!
That wind is gonna keep on blowing,
If he won't treat you right then why ain't you going?
And just then the Spring come 'round
Free me from all the shiver,
I' seen the gaslight he can throw,
So I'm rolling down that, river,
If you fetch me running back
To that man from Alabama, tell me
"Girl when you lose your place in time
You put your living on the line!"
But I know I can keep it moving,
Cuz there ain't no funk in crying or dying!
No...no...
I'll just drive on, drive on
I think I'll drive on
Until I get there,
I think I'll drive on!

SISTERS
what a sweet lazy groove to this. i truly like your easy laid back vocals - they're great! i could go with the music up just a hair or 2 in volume - i wanted to hear more of that funky stuff. enjoyed your work here = thank you,
