( *human beat box by Essence* ) [ Precise ] Goin back in my mind Another place, another time Not now, 3 years ago I was tryin to go to the show I had money, but no dice Bein too young I paid the price So I left with my head hangin down Went around back, heard the sound Comin from the place into my face Yo, you shoulda heard that bass Thumpin, the beat was pumpin Without a doubt the joint was jumpin Hard, I jumped on a crate Looked at my watch, it was 12:08 So I hurried and looked in the window Man, what a show [ Chorus ] They were dancin and singin And movin to the groovin And just when it hit me Somebody turned around and shouted Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music right Play that funky music white boy Lay down the boogie And play that funky music till you die Till you die Till you die Till you die [ Exact ] Time passed, we developped a style Went back to the club, not crackin a smile Not time to joke or time to jerk Just time for the Boys to cold do work The man at the door said, "Come on in" Announced to the crowd we would soon begin Backstage we all got ready To move the crowd and to cold rock steady To boldly go where no man had gone before Leave the crowd still beggin for more Preparations now over, party people in a rage When the White Boys took the stage Cold gettin loose, not poppin abuse The three they could see now had the juice Non-stop hip-hop in every song Guess what was goin on [ Chorus ] [ both ] No way can I explain What goes on inside my brain The bass drum drops, the swing beat rocks And the crowd just comes in flocks Payin and stayin to see us rhyme Wonder why? Go back in time When we saw the light and the way to go At the club, long ago [ Chorus ]
