Rick James — Below the Funk Pass the J

[Intro] I wanna talk, pass the joint [Verse 1] I was born in a city they call Buffalo Zero degrees below is too damn cold and funky Mama raised me on the numbers racket With eight kids and no father She said she couldn't hack it On the eastside where I started sangin' On the corners hangin' Out with all the hoodlums Pass the joint Now the love that I find in the city Is such a cryin' pity Ain't no love for brothers Pass the joint [Chorus] Pass the joint I think I want to talk 'Bout the place I was born, I was torn Said pass the joint Give me one more hit I ain't finished with it I got some more to say [Verse 2] Now the players hangin' 'round the main strip Actin' like they're on a trip If they had my cash they could be hip But it's strange the gossip is so tragic They call me a faggot And me and all my women laugh at it, ha Love, I got my good friends there They really keep me dancin' They keep me really laughin' In the country, me, my dog and horses Hangin' out with my family Talkin' 'bout Stone City Say, pass the joint [Chorus] I think I wanna talk 'bout the place, where I was torn Say, pass the joint I need me one more hit I ain't finished with it I got some more to say [Outro] Need to talk, 'bout the city I was born I got to talk I wish they wouldn't be so torn I wanna talk 'bout the city I was bred I need to talk 'bout the city that has led me to my fame I was born in a city they call Buffalo Zero degrees below is too damn cold and funky I think I wanna talk about it, pass the joint La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la La, la-la-la, la-la-la I think I wanna talk about it, pass the joint La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la La, la-la-la, la-la-la Come on, one more hit, that's it Pass the joint La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la La, la-la-la, la-la-la I think I wanna sing about it, pass the joint La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la La, la-la-la, la-la-la Thank you
