Magnolia Soul Lyrics by Ozomatli

Don’t Mess With the Dragon

2007

[Chorus:]
Let the good times roll
The bad times gone
The sun's gonna shine, shine
Rise up, get on your feet
Let the good times roll (Oh, don't stop)
The sad times gone (Let it go, c'mon)
Let the good times roll
Pretty Mama can't stop
Magnolia's soul
(Pretty Mama gonna do your dance, c'mon)
[Verse 1:]
Dear Magnolia, what's crackin'?
Been a long time since I last saw your face
Never forget the day out in the sticks I saw your crecsent smile in place
All the way from uptown, downtown, lakeside to river
Heard W don't care about them
Gotta watch who you make ya friend
Otherwise FEMA will come through and backstab you again (And check it)
Just some advice to lend
Weak ties will bend
Through the dark, true light will win
And they said that this the end
But we fixin' to make them saints march on again, c'mon
[Chorus:]
Let the good times roll (Woo)
The bad times gone (Let 'em go, y'all)
The sun's gonna shine, shine (Shine)
Rise up, get on your feet (Get on your feet)
Let the good times roll (C'mon, don't stop)
The sad times gone (Let 'em go, c'mon)
Let the good times roll
Pretty Mama can't stop
Magnolia's soul
[Verse 2:]
Polite little hurricane, called for, she came (Uh-huh)
Officials knew the deal and they didn't do a thang (Uh-huh)
Knew her every move
Yep, Katrina was her name (Wha?)
The mayor had the whole game in the palm of his hand (C'mon)
Hand in the pot
Caught cold and oh!
Shouldv'e fixed them damn levees long time ago (Yuh)
But they didn't take the chance to do it
Pitty-pat between the Pres and the mayor
Folks was dying (Die), too
A gang of us in the Superdome
We're in the heat
Folks in wheelchairs, feet swole, nothing to eat
So to the kids and the families that lost
I rhyme for, ‘nolia clap
Show the world your soul
Let the good times roll, (Let it roll, baby)
Bad times gone (Let it roll, let it roll, baby)
The sun's gonna shine (Say, what?)
Rise up, get on your feet (Get on your feet)
Let the good times roll (C'mon, don't stop)
Sad times gone (Ha-ha)
Let the good times roll
Pretty Mama can't stop
Magnolia's soul (I'm a let it roll, I'm a let it roll, c'mon)
[Bridge:]
Ah, ha-ha, a-ha
Say, what?
Ha, ha, a-ha-ha, yeah
Go on, do your dance, c'mon, yeah
Say, what? Yeah
I'mma let it roll, c'mon
Let it roll, c'mon
Pretty Mama, come and do your dance
So, everybody clap them hands (That's what I'm doing)
Still steppin to the second line band (Say, what?)
Still stompin' to the Sulu drum (Show you right)
You can't stop this native son (Uh-huh, ah-ha)
Well, let the good times roll (Let it roll, let it roll, baby)
Let the good times roll, pretty Mama can't stop Magnolia's soul (Let it roll, daddy, let it roll, daddy)
[Chorus:]
Let the good times roll
The bad times gone (Yeah)
The sun's gonna shine (Ah, uh)
Rise up, get on your feet (Get on your feet, tell your daddy, c'mon)
Let the good times roll (Let it roll, ah)
The sad times gone (Let it roll, let it roll, ah)
Let the good times roll (Ooh)
Pretty Mama can't stop Magnolia's soul (Can't, can't stop that)
Let the good times roll
The bad times gone (You better, you better know about it)
The sun's gonna shine (Shine, yeah, uh)
Rise up, get on your feet (Get on your feet, homey)
Let the good times roll (Let it roll, let it roll)
The sad times gone (Again, dog, again, dog, c'mon)
Let the good times roll (Ha-ha-ha)
Pretty Mama can't stop Magnolia's soul
