[Intro]
(Get up)
(The star of the show
Hard-working Mr. Dynamite
Jaaaaaames Brown) (Brown) (Brown) (Brown)..
(Get up)
[Verse 1]
Yo, I don't mean to brag, there's the tag
Brown got a brand new bag
Shining star up to par
Bars guitars
So far so good, getting greater at last
Where it counts, later for the last
First you're dead and stinking
Thinking, winking, drinking, sinking
Ba-ba-ba-blinking
Baby paw, New York City is in the house
Without a doubt, we turn the mutha out
Routs threw out shouts: "ain't we funky now"
Godfather, Soul Brother Number One
Ugh! (Ugh!) Ugh! (Ugh!) Ugh!
I'm hot, huh!
90 are levels of degrees burning
Turning in a rough rotation
Living in the land of the lost and found
Can't drown in sounds of the James Brown, Brown, Brown
This is the mixture when you add hard texture
Can't get no harder, so I'm out to get you
Its essence felt, you're turned inside out
Fellas, what you going to say now?
Thirsty? Not, my verse just quenched your thirst
]From the burst of energy
Shining on the appetite
Can't cross the thin line of the end of my time
(Hah!) Hold it, I'm still burning
Pop or not, I come to break up slots
Cause it can't get no harder
Give it to me, Godfather
[Chorus]
Can't get any harder - than what I got
Cause what I got - is sure enough hard to stop
Can't get any harder - cause what I got
Cause what I got - is sure enough hard to stop
Hey!
I've been around for a long time
Won't let nobody bring me down
Rock solid, solid as a rock
Too smooth to move and too hard to stop
[Verse 2]
Oh yes, come and get with this entourage
As we get busy in the garage
Leaders of the New forever large
Cause we got the funk flip script, oh yes
Get up and ill, everybody move your hip, scream out: "Yes!"
That's what I'm talking about - ah!
Busta, Leaders come and turn it out
Don't try to front on the flavor
Save that for later
Or join the Maker in the spirit like an elevator
You wanna know something funny? I was devastated
When I elaborated how we collaborated
???With singers in music activated???
Most necessary that we salute many too living legendary
James Brown coming to you, better open the door
Because I wanna MOP THE FLOOR!
[Bridge]
Do it, ya
Gimme some rap, now - hah
Put it there
Welcome to the club
Huh!
Bring it all together
[Chorus]
Can't get any harder - ugh - than what I got
(Soul!)
Cause what I got - is sure enough hard to stop
Can't get any harder - ah, good God - than what I got
(Soul!)
Cause what I got - aaaaeeew - is sure enough hard to stop
I've been around for a long time
Won't let nobody bring me down
Rock solid, solid as a rock
Too smooth to move and too hard to stop
Can't get any harder
Ugh!
Agh!
Move-a
Aaaaaaooooh yes-a!
Aaaaaaaw!
The groove move ya
[Outro]
Can't get any harder - than what I got
Cause what I got - is sure enough hard to stop
Can't get any harder - good God - than what I got
Cause what I got - is sure enough hard to stop
BROWN!
