Pass The Vibe
Five Fingers of Funk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Emotion and thought I've got I've got a lot of it

For Mr. Blake's sake initiate it if you've caught a bit

Fresh for the passing a check is for the cashing

The vibe is still alive 'cause positive is everlasting
Wrinch yourself off recognize and then send it

If it's of another then discover how to blend it

Use and spread it out some or lose it and catch another one

10 8 cultivate it if you hate it let the colors run

And bleed 'til you see the hues taking on a new tone

Negative ain't relative unless it gives a clue to domes

Chase at a fast pace the taste that makes your face smile

Or waste it and embrace a case of the fake styles

Just keep it going on keep the feeling flowing on

Lose the crap and make it happen soon you'll see it growing long

And lovely above the soil before the harvest

Have respect when selecting the buds and leave the largest

Take a closer look in the book this time

Read and see the pictures while you listen to the rhyme

Think about the summer when the bank got started

Remember where you were when the vibe was first imparted?

"Ooh, yeah. Damn I can't remember"

I was probably in the squid wasting crazy legal tender

With Caitlin and Max stealing pens behind my back

They kept my mind off track but I guess I needed that

Now I'm getting vibes from a thousand one sources

Looking to trade the flavors chasing a thousand one courses

Outward still in step kid you'd better know

That if you just tip toe on stage you can't flow

You've got to take a chance dance and shake it kid you can't

Fake it don't be afraid you won't break it

Make it happen must I say it again?

And begin to ascend you can't hold back the Mimina-Miser

'Cause I compose the prose in more than an effort to devise a

New way of thinking bringing people back together

Good tidings on the way just like the days of cloudy weather

In the autumn fill the bottom with funky bass-string plucks

And Talbott will keep it tight like Hollywood butt-tucks

The Five Fingers of Funk as prescribed by Dr. T.

Pete Miser on the mic I'm strictly L.V.P.

They retaught me how to listen and got me on a mission

Mic ripping to the riffs that they be kicking out the kitchen the

Coalition got stronger the song got longer

But let me speak my peace before my mind begins to wander
