James Brown - Everybody's Got A Thang

Hah, huh! Look here, everybody
Don't you worry 'bout what I got to do
Just keep tryin'
Keep on tryin' to make it through
Do your best, sister and brother
Don't you ever look back
'Cause your life is on the line
Stay on the right track

Huh! Look here:
I'm in it to win it
And I do know me
Nothing's gonna stop this soul
Just you wait and see
Lookit here, hey!
When you're doin' bad, you're all by yourself
And when you're doin' good
Help comes from everybody else

Shut your lips, huh, I said
Shut your mouth, and close your lips
Keep on doin' the latest trip
The trip, ha!

Everybody, who got a thang?

Uh, down. Lookit here!

When you're doin' bad
Then you're all by yourself
When you're doin' good
Help comes from everybody else
So shut your mouth and close your lips
Keep on groovin' the latest trip
Trip, trip
Do your best, brother and sister
Don't you ever lay back
Because your life is on the line
Stay on the right track

Come on!
I got a thang

Nobody else's thang

Nobody can beat you doin' your thang
Hold your head up high
