Lyrics James Brown

James Brown

Escape-ism

I was talking, I was talking to a cat the other night

He said, "What everybody is looking for?

What everybody's looking for today?"

They're looking for escapism

Ain't it good to you? Yeah

You know what? I love to get down, Jack, yeah

And when I get down, why'understand

I don't have to go into no funny bag

Say, alcohol, you guess, I mean, said I wanna man

I can't, why'understand, that's the way I feel

You know, I believe I'll get down right about here, right on

Byrd, if I get down, hey why'know Byrdy, Byrdy, man, Byrdy's gotta

Byrdy's gotta, Byrdy's gotta, I mean, Byrdy's gotta

Out of sight tune coming up, we gotta record Byrdy right here

Why'know, yeah, so we're trying to get our thing out of the way

Before Byrdy can get into it

Byrd, can we get on before we, yeah, is it all right? Yeah

Byrd, do you think gonna be a hit, Byrd? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Is it, you think it's gonna be a hit?

Well, I know it's a smash, I know it's a smash

Cause you're in the thing, man, you're saying where it's at

Why'know, it's gotta be a hit, yeah, you ready, Byrd? Yeah, let's go

Get down, ain't it good to you? Yeah

Ain't it good to you? Yeah

Ain't it good to you?, Yeah, yeah, yeah

Look here, what you say, Fred?

Man, you know, we better take it on the lam

You better watch the man, I don't think they heard

What you say, Fred?, I said, we better take it on the lam

You better watch the man

Byrd, yeah, come over here, brother, I'm tellin' you

You think we're talking too loud? Who starts fuss

I ain't got no dust, I don't have to take it on the lam

Better watch that man, uh? Better watch that man

Watch him, yeah, all right, you're right, yeah, yeah

Coming from some funny places, what you say, bruh?

What's happening Brown?

Trying to get down, yeah, yeah, well, you know

Look here, we can't help it, that's right, ..., yeah

It ain't no alcohol, man I don't dig it, what you say, Jason?

I say, don't be so mean, you know I'm clean, yeah
