Funk Redemption

They say the road to glory is narrow

but the path to the funk is wide open

I've been running from the dark behind me

tonight I'm gonna make it dance (unh!)

I got the blues in my left hand,

the gospel in my right I'm a sanctified sinner in the middle

of the night

I walked through the valley,

I waded through the mud I got a rhythmic agitation pumping through

my blood The landlord's knocking,

says the rent is overdue But I

spent my last dollar on a rhythm for you

I said, don't let the devil catch you leaning

You gotta find a groove with a holy meaning I'm shaking,

shaking I'm breaking, breaking

I'm taking back what the world been taking

I'm dancing on the edge of a jagged line

Trying to turn this water into funky wine Oh,

I'm a sinner, Lord I'm a sinner

But the rhythm's gonna set me free

Can I get a witness,

witness

Is there anybody out there moving with me

Preacher man told me,

son, put that guitar down I said,

father, this the only way I can get out of town

It's a Mississippi fever,

it's a hard-earned sweat I'm playing for my soul,

it's the biggest bet yet

One for the money,

two for the show I got a hell of

a feeling and I can't let go

Give it to me Bap-bap

I said, give it to me Bap-bap

Good God I feel the spirit

It's heavy It's funky It's all I got

I'm dancing on the edge of a jagged line

Trying to turn this water into funky wine

Oh, I'm a sinner,

Lord I'm a sinner

But the rhythm's gonna set me free

Can I get a witness,

witness

Is there anybody out there moving with me Yeah,

Lord have mercy

The rent is paid

In sweat, in soul,

in funk Shut it down
