Текст песни Chocolate City - Parliament

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 you 'cause I love you, 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, hey
Gainin' on ya
All up around your neck, hey-hey-hey

Hey, CC, they say you're 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, hey, yeah
Gainin' on ya, movin' in and around ya
God bless CC and it's vanilla suburbs

Gainin' on ya
Gainin' on ya (people know)
Gainin' on ya
Gainin' on ya (gainin' on ya)
What's happening, blood?
Gainin' on ya
Gainin' on ya
Gainin' on ya
Gainin' on ya

Yeah, what's happening, black?
Brother black, blood even
Yeah-ah, just funnin'
Gettin' down

Ah, blood to blood, ah, players to ladies
The last percentage count was 80
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 it's (gainin' on ya) vanilla suburbs
Can y'all get to that?

Gainin' on ya
Easin' in
Gainin' on ya
In your stuff
Gainin' on ya
Huh, you 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, hey
Be mo' funk, mm
Get deep
Let hit the band, uh, hey
We just got to New York, I'm told
