What Is Soul?

(album: Funkadelic - 1970)

Behold! I am Funkadelic
I am not of your world
But fear me not
I will do you no harm

Loan me your funky mind
And I shall play with it
For nothing is good unless you play with it
And all that is good is nasty
Fly on baby
Come to
(Hit this hit this hit this right here. Louaisana red, no brain... this funky, this funky man. Funkadelic, Detroit purple is good. Some orange haze here, some orange haze man, yeah. You dig it? This ain't purple. [coughing])
