once upon a time
when the Jackson 's was black

there was power to a people
do you remember that

Jerrie curls and Afro too

pick that shit / drip that juice

vinyls played on 33

sitting in the wind / blowing trees

remembering

peace love and harmony

music swayin
we are family

make love / not war

free love
easy scores

do we even know that ?
anymore

disco divas
doing the bump

George Clinton
delivering the the funk

Parliament
Wanting to Get Funked Up

Funk.a.del.ic

psych.e.del.ic

pumping that

P funk

Sui Generis
quintessence

to the era

as Jimmi Hendrix
tears it up
with a guitar
in hand

nobody can ever play
like that man

fusing rock with jazz
added funk to that

rick james
lead fire with desire
super freak
stroked his beat

making love
to open sexuality

mary jane
fired it up

while
Chaka Khan
shook them up

Earth, Wind & Fire
took them higher

The Commodores
slow danced to desires

celebrations filled the air
kool and the gang
vibrated without a care

i wished i could remember
those times there

listen while singing
to a beat
to their legacy
left for me

listening nostalgically
