Chocolate City Lyrics

Chocolate City lyrics

"Chocolate City"

 Uh, what's happening CC?

 They still call it the White House

 But that's a temporary condition, too.

 Can you dig it, CC?

 

 To each his reach

 And if I don't cop, it ain't mine to have

 But I'll be reachin' for ya

 'Cause I love ya, CC.

 Right on.

 

 There's a lot of chocolate cities, around

 We've got Newark, we've got Gary

 Somebody told me we got L.A.

 And we're working on Atlanta

 But you're the capital, CC

 

 Gainin' on ya!

 Get down

 Gainin' on ya!

 Movin' in and on ya

 Gainin' on ya!

 Can't you feel my breath, heh

 Gainin' on ya!

 All up around your neck, heh heh

 

 Hey, CC!

 They say your jivin' game, it can't be changed

 But on the positive side,

 You're my piece of the rock

 And I love you, CC.

 Can you dig it?

 

 Hey, uh, we didn't get our forty acres and a mule

 But we did get you, CC, heh, yeah

 Gainin' on ya

 Movin' in and around ya

 God bless CC and its vanilla suburbs

 

 Gainin' on ya!

 Gainin' on ya!

 Gainin' on ya! (heh!)

 Gainin' on ya!

 Gainin' on ya!

 What's happening, blood?

 Gainin' on ya!

 Gainin' on ya!

 Gainin' on ya!

 

 Yeah!

 What's happening, black?

 Brother black, blood even

 Yeah-ahh, just funnin'

 

 Gettin' down

 

 Ah, blood to blood

 Ah, players to ladies

 The last percentage count was eighty

 You don't need the bullet when you got the ballot

 Are you up for the downstroke, CC?

 Chocolate city

 Are you with me out there?

 

 And when they come to march on ya

 Tell 'em to make sure they got their James Brown pass

 And don't be surprised if Ali is in the White House

 Reverend Ike, Secretary of the Treasure

 Richard Pryor, Minister of Education

 Stevie Wonder, Secretary of FINE arts

 And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady

 Are you out there, CC?

 A chocolate city is no dream

 It's my piece of the rock and I dig you, CC

 God bless Chocolate City and its (gainin' on ya!) vanilla suburbs

 Can y'all get to that?

 Gainin' on ya!

 Gainin' on ya!

 Easin' in

 Gainin' on ya!

 In yo' stuff

 Gainin' on ya!

 Huh, can't get enough

 Gainin' on ya!

 Gainin' on ya!

 Be mo' funk, be mo' funk

 Gainin' on ya!

 Can we funk you too

 Gainin' on ya!

 Right on, chocolate city!

 

 Yeah, get deep

 Real deep

 Heh

 Be mo' funk

 Mmmph, heh

 Get deep

 Bad

 Unh, heh

 Just got New York, I'm told
