Done By Forces Of Nature

Ahhhhh...
Wjbs, on your radio dial
With the morning of the fox, that rocks the box
Expect sunshine today!
For yesterday's rain has faded far away
Now we seek a brand new day, a brand new way
Learn my brothers and sisters, learn

[mike g]
Nighttime fades away, on to the next day
The weatherman predicts a clear sunny saturday
Relax laid back and feelin the cool breeze
Positive vibes in sauce and the melodies
Gather my leaves and all my minerals
Fix myself a bowl of vegetables
Ice cold water and chopped up fruits
Gonna be a long day so i throw on my boots
Stretch out my hut and beyond the sun rises
Clouds gather round and suddenly hides it
Doubled back cause it started pourin
Children scared of the thunder roarin
Given the light but now there's darkness
Started with intelligence, now there's ignorance
Negative vibes now i don't feel right
I want my sunshine, i want my sunlight
Same old story, over and over
Somebody tryin to take knowledge over
So i fight back with a native dance
Sing my song and chant my chants

Rain, rain, go away
Please come back another day
The sun will shine and now the sky is gray
Please rain, go way
{lah lahhhhhhh-lah.. lah-lahhhh..}
{lah lahhhhhhh-lah.. lah-lahhhh..}
{lah..}

[afrika]
The pavement sweats as a hot day sets in
I need to cool off so i find me a hydrant
Pull out my wrench and turn on a happy face
See some buckets i think there'll be a chase
Water splashin, children laughin
Hopin the feelin, will keep on lastin
A shot rings out and a young girl hits the ground
Someone wasn't in the mood for playin around
The mother cries as she sees her young one
^--> {lah lahhhhhhh-lah.. lah-lahhhh..}
Victim of a fool while playin in the hot sun
Kangaroos came and cleared out the area
^--> {lah lahhhhhhh-lah.. lah-lahhhh..}
Covered her up so the sun won't beat her {lah..}
The sun still shines but the day now feels gray
Oh mr. rain would you please please go away?
The sun still shines but the day now feels gray
Oh mr. rain would you please please go away?

Ah-uhh, ahh uhh, uh ah-ah-ahh-uh (sunshine)
Ahh-uh-uhh, uh-uh, uh-ahh-uh (sunshine)
Ahh-uh-uhh, uh-uh, ahh-uh-uh (sunshine)
Ahh-uh-uh, uh-ahhhhhh.. (sunshine)

Rain, rain, go away
Please come back another day
The sun will shine and now the sky is gray
Please rain, go way
{lah lahhhhhhh-lah.. lah-lahhhh..}
{lah lahhhhhhh-lah.. lah-lahhhh..}
{lah lahhhhhhh-lah.. lah-lahhhh..}
{lah lahhhhhhh-lah.. lah-lahhhh..}
{lah..}

Wjbs and in the studio right now the jungle brothers
How you doin my friends? {*various chatter*}
Before we go on, say a few words to the people

[mike g]
Yeah i'd like to say i'd like to say somethin serious
Real serious
The sun shinin, the guidin light
The fire that we all attempt to fight
The only thing is you can't put it out
You blow and blow but that makes it grow
Bright around and it was made for me
A gift from god that he gave to me
You eat it and chew it, and then you swallow it
And wisdom is what you get from it
Try to stop me from gettin mine
And you can kiss me where the sun don't shine
Yeah, there's room out there for those who want some
Cause "everybody's got a little light, under the sun,
Under the sun, under the sun, under the sun.."

[afrika]
Knowledge stands upright, fear has no height
Work towards the star that gives off the brightest light
Jbeez movin in a bright direction
Free of injury or evil infection
Stay out the dark and you'll find that you'll be strong
Believe in yourself and nothin will go wrong
There's room out there for those who want some
Because everybody's got a little light, under the sun
Hahahaha haha hahh!

[maceo]
Me, plug three, the one they call baby huey
The one that gets all the money (all the money)
Yeah, that's right

[dove]
A fat funky fruit with a whole lot of tang
A little something called "doing our own thang"
Breaking the beat others wished they broke
Bassline so dope that you just might choke
Don't bite off something that you can't chew
And don't trail behind when i'm coming through
Fronting the feel that you really can't feel
Cause you're trying to feel what's on my reel to reel

[q-tip]
A tree is growing
Can't you see what i see? a white blue fruit to boot
We count to ten before we pass the crews, now that's family
Equipped with the brothers and the sisters and the sisters and the brothers
And all others, with the funky flairs, the bugged-out hairs
It's the life of riley, i'm really ready
Gazing at the dollar fill of rap
The cool june bugs, the wicks, the wacks
Praise the rhythms for what it beez
And praise the lord for the jb's

We're doing our own thang (repeat 4x)

[posdnuos]
Isn't it cool when you cut your hair
And the blood is red instead of sellout green
This is not the music for an r&b mind
This is flower intertwined with a vine
(in other words this is rose)
You see what i mean? or see what grandpa bam saw
Funk we transmit is unstable
One condition if i am able to say
(yes you may) well hey, let's get on with it
Vocal confetti is thrown, sometimes spitted
Out the vents of hecklers and fans
Either which way they all hop on the van
The band, the band, here comes the band
The tribe of fingers all on one hand
Me, myself, and i are dark
Monie love the mouthpiece, it's now yours to spark

[monie love]
Sister monie, the only one here who missed a plane back to london
Residing with my brothers and i learned a lot from them
About the group, how to be smooth and play funky
And sometimes rated it's kind of funky, but it's cool
For we are beyond the stereotypes
Coordination crazy, but still it sounds hype
Rocking on and off beat, and i do believe i'm right (you're right)
Am i wrong? (yeah, son)
Don't be mad, be glad i missed the plane, i'm staying
With the brothers jungle, soul, and the tribe i'm saying
Funky funky rhymes that always stay in swing
I believe we doing our own thing

We're doing our own thang (repeat 4x)

[afrika]
Well my family sets all the trends
From soul to soul, large to loose ends
?and i all my groups like kill?
(cause that's where the money's at)
Yeah, the industry's filled with copycats
R&b mixed with sloppy raps
Tribes like us always open doors
But what for, so you can get yours?
You ain't in to it, all you want is profit
So i ask you please to stop it
Leave me alone, get off my bone
Cause i'm doing my own...

[mike g]
A new seed, a new breed
A new man you to feed the greed
A new pair of boots for a new piece of butt
Sweet daddy are you there? (sammy b is on the cut!)
Spinning back for a rap that's laid back
Read to kic back, those get no slack
I may rock a rhyme or i may start to sing
But still, i'm doing my own thing

[dove]
In comes the mood of jungle and daisies
Play the same and let the vibes grace me
All hold hands and let's walk about
And form a cirlce and talk about
Don't follow the path that we're stepping
Truth to the soul is what i'm cramming
Reasons for this is that the family's strong
And like bob marley said "we're jammin"
Seeing is beliving, so see and believe
And let the groove of the new proceed
A whole bunch of love, peace signs, and fun
So let's do what's got to be done, you know?

Come on!
Jump up, freak a hustle
Do what you want but move every muscle
Ain't no time for playing around
Only one thing to do when you hear this sound
Act yourself with someone else
And make sure yourself ain't by yourself

Dyin' to get on the dance floor
Girl what you waiting for?
Come on over and swing with me
Take your mind out yo' misery
Tomorrow's gonna be another day
Tonight, i'm gonna take it- life
Grab the world and put it on hold
Relax my body and rest my soul
Feel the vibe surrounding me
Feel the bass come down on me

Shake your butt but don't break your back
Tap your feet and let your fingers snap
No matter what size shape or colour
We can jam and enjoy each other
Music's pumpin' i feel something
Must be my blood and h! eartbeat thumpin
Dispense your funds to pass through the door
You know there's room for you on the floor
(you don't know if they'll be any more)
So yo, what you waiting for?

(chanting in background)
"waiting the timeless time"

Yeah, yeah, some playin' a wall
I wasn't with that, not livin' like that
You ain't with it let me hear you say ho
You ain't with it let me hear you say aaaaoooo (aaaooo)
Ready to boogie i had on my dancin' shoes
Ain't in the mood to be singing no blues
So if you want to be a little disco ducka
I came here tonight to
So good morning, good afternoon, good night
Don't let the bedbugs bite
Going way out when i'm aiming to please
You havin' a good time, climb up my trees
C'mon what you waiting for?
C'mon what you waiting for?

"waiting the timeless time"

Side to side, and just let it ride
Give what you got, no need to hide
You're allowed as long as your able
Take away the chairs and move away the tables
I'm doing my thing working around you
Ladies screaming (we wanna house you!)
We won't say much on this no now
Cause i'm not quite sure that you know how
But keep on dancin', (keep on dancing!)
Baby on not clockin' you, i'm just glancin'
And what i see now is a fine figure-8
(don't make me wait)

Yeah waiting for the dj to play my song
O lord, i must have waited all night long!
The joint was packed and it looked like a jungle,
I felt at home, there goes my song
S! o i hit the floor and jumped on the case,
Sweat pouring from my face
Clothes was wet by i didn't care
You know what i'm saying (i know what you're sayin')

So come on girl come on girl come on
Let's let's let's get it on
I'm dyin' to get out on the floor
I waited long enough; i can't wait no more!
Come on girl come on girl come on
Let's let's let's get it on
I'm dyin' to get out on the floor
I waited long enough; i can't wait no more!

Yeah, uh, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, etc.
