[Instrumental]

[Fred Wesley & The J.B.'s]
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat
This is so funky
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
It's for the people
Same beat ... same beat ...

[Jesse Jackson speech over "Same beat" chant]
I am, somebody; I am, somebody
I may be unemployed, but I am, somebody
I may be unskilled, but I am, somebody
I may be uneducated, but I am, somebody
I may be in jail, but I am, somebody
I am...

Bad
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat
Do this for New York
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
You've got to buy this one
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
Same beat ... same beat ... same beat ... same beat
