[Vocals: James Brown, Full Force, both, (samples)]

[Intro]
Don't start none, it won't be none!
James Brown, coldblooded! Huh!
(Hey!) Huh! (Hey!) Say it!
(Hey, you got it!)

[Chorus]
Static! (No!)
Static! (No!)
Won't be no static (No!)
Don't start none, won't be none!
Static! (No static)
Static! (No static)
Won't be no static (No static)
Don't start none, won't be none

[Verse 1]
When I was younger, there used to be
Huh, troublemakers, they don't bother me
No need to hide, I'll get right to the point
Let everybody know: Godfather's running the joint

[Chorus]
Static! (No!)
Static! (No!)
Won't be no static (No!)
Don't start none, won't be none!

[Post-Chorus]
Now do it! Keep it up! Yeeaaooow!
Feeling ostentatiously chill
Just about to begin, rrrrah!
And where are we? In the place to be

[Verse 2]
Don't start no static, huh, there won't be none
Then I won't have to put you on the run
(Hey) Coldblooded, don't make me laugh! (hey)
(Hey) With Mr. Dynamite, baby you gotta have...

[Chorus]
Static! (No!)
Static! (No!)
Won't be no static (No!)
Don't start none, won't be none!
Static! (No static)
Static! (No static)
Won't be no static (No static)
Don't start none, won't be none
Hit it! Uh, I need the speed!

[Verse 3]
Listen here, listen here, listen here!
We gone drop the music
And let the static roll on by itself
You hear me? (Yes!)
Because the groove is so great
I don't wanna change nothin' (you got it!)
Let it roll, man!
Huh, one, two, three...

[Chorus]
Static! (No!)
Static, static...! (No!)
Won't be no static (No!)
Don't start none, won't be none!
Static, static...! (No static)
Static, static...! (No static)
Static, static...! (No static)
Don't start none, won't be none

[Outro]
Hey hey hey, hey, yes sir, a-ha
He's Soul Brother #1 in Brooklyn!
He's Soul Brother #1 in Manhattan!
He's Soul Brother #1 on Staten Island!
He's Soul Brother #1 in Jamaica!
He's Soul Brother #1 in the Bronx!
Whisper for Mr. Dynamite James B., James, James, aahh...
Huh! Feeling, chill...
Soul Brother #1 in Brighton Island!
He's Soul Brother #1 in Parkland Projects! [?]
Soul Brother #1 in Lincoln Terrace!
Soul Brother, word... [?]
He's Soul Brother #1 in Brooklyn, James...
Whisper for Mr. Dynamite, James...
[multiple voices] James Brown!

[Chorus]
Won't be no static (No!)
Don't start none, won't be none!
Static! (No!)
Static! (No!)
Won't be no static (No!)
Don't start none, won't be none!
Static! (No static)
Static! (No static)
Won't be no static (No static)
Don't start none, won't be none

[Outro cont.]
(Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey)
