Never Let Nothing Get The Best Of You

(album: Pieces - 1978)

Wuh!
What an outburst
I feel like I'm gonna reach out to such honesty
You're feeling down, I wanna lift you up

I wanna take ya
Take ya just a little bit higher (well...)
I'm gonna set your zone
Just let me let me set your zone on fire

I'll be grooving (yeah!)
If anybody wanna find the grooves
Then all you have to do, is lift up your brothers and sisters and say: "Oh yeah!" (Oh yeah!)
I think you can say it just a little bit louder (oh yeah!)
All you have to do, is lift up your brothers and sisters and say: "Oh yeah!" (Oh yeah!)

Don't fight it
Don't you fight this feeling that we got
Don't fight it
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't fight it
Listen to me now...

My best friends or me brother
Stop my hand
Loving my woman under cover
Ain't that a shame?
And I'll always fool a child
Ego tripping through his guilty shifty eyes

But time, time is always changing
Your lie –sometimes– needs re-arranging
To changing

Never let nothing get the best of you
That's what I wanna tell you
Never let –hmm-mm– nothing get the best of you
Oh-ho-ho
Never let nothing get the best of you

Yeah, we're going higher (higher!)
Let me take you on up, take you higher
Feeling good
Hey, hey, hey, hey, feels major

Too many bills to pay
Trying to hussle gaming around without getting caught, y'all
I favor do's in the dimmer time
That I'm trying to get over on the main line

But I know, time is always changing
Sometimes, your lie needs re-arranging
To changing

Don't lose it (don't lose it)
Don't you lose this feeling that we got
Don't you got the feelin'?
Don't you lose the feeling that we got

Hey, break it down now, uh...
Lord have mercy
Ain't never a party
Dude, a friend of mine was sayin': "Ain't never a party, man"

I'm feeling so much better
With everybody dancing on the floor together
Red, green, yellow, brown, white
I don't care, I don't, as your soul is right
Hey, hey, hey, hey, do it
Oh
Do it!
Nothing? Then I'd better ask you
Tell me why? I'll say it for you

Never let nothing get the best of you
Oh-ho-ho
Never let –everybody sing this song with me– nothing get the best of you
Whoo (never let nothing get the best of you)
I want everybody to sing this song with me, come on!
Never let nothing get the best of you
