Revival!

Listen to my words as i speak of rivers
 Some may be shallow and some may be deeper and
 deeper my brother
 Man sits with pan and scans the land for what he can
 Hopin' that he might strike gold
 Wading in the water, in search of the soul
 To find what you seek, the valleys and the peaks
 Open up your ears to the grooves and beats and be
 complete
 Now the water's deep
 You see dancin' and rejoicin' now people make some noise
 and
 Dive into the water let it splash across your face
 Don't you stop the party and don't you lose your faith
 Keep it goin' on and movin' on son
 Converge upon your urge and be submerged
 In the funk
 We all come to the river because the water brings
 growth
 Let the Lord provide it baby can you stroke
 The style in the south of the union: Good food and good
 jams is our communiuon
 Down at the river the soul is wet
 Take a dip and revive yourself
 Revival! Revival!
 Get into the water boy we're havin' a revival
 If you don't learn to groove then tell me what is your
 survival chances
 Dances
 The fellowship is dope
 If the water is to shallow then gallows and ropes await
 me
 I got to keep on movin' upstream
 It's where the party's at it's the baptism and the swing a
 brotha man's dream
 The rythem must be phat
 Now tell me what is wrong with that it makes the people
 say
 Psychoalphadiscobeta
 Brotha man you got to take a dip into the water
 Psychoalphadiscobeta
 Sista girl you too can take a dip into the water
 Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadooloop my troop we can
 take it strong to the hoop
 An old style Revival! the traditions respected
 Old ladies putting up a finger as they exit you guessed it
 It's gonna bring you closer to the self
 The power of the river if you can hold your breath
 And see the reality of spirtuality
 Positive Individuality
 Hear me now we wade and splash and love and laugh
 and seek and greet
 And walk the path of the rhythm we're with them
 The river is flowin'
 So we gonna keep this Revival! goin'
 Revival! Revival!
 We have gathered here today to cleanse our minds and
 wash the B.S. away
 To gain strength for another day
 To get into the river I figure the music must
 Play to make the crowd sway throw ho's and hey's and
 shake out booty's
 Our duty is to be here to stay
 Because people we are in it for survival
 So won't you come and join me at the river at the Revival
 I see little children eatin' watermelon and elderly storytellin'
 ruffnecks scrappin' and yellin'
 Deacons and preachin' and Hip Hop beats and
 Funky aquaboogie we could be achieving groovy salvation
 The soul is in the house everyone's dancin' and hangin'
 out
 Brotha's clockin' bank but we got to have the wisdom
 To make it through the eye of the needle
 And when I make it through I will be dancin' and singin'
 and rejoicin' and voicin'
 My opinion dominion over all on the earth
 Baby work
 The brothers came first
 Africa the birth
 And if we cannot do it on the Nile then we'll go to the
 Missippippi
 Down to Memphis, Tennessesee, we'll travel like a gypsy
 And don't worry about the neighbors callin' Five-O
 Nobody's gonna stop this Revival!
 Revival! Revival!
