It's Just Begun
The Jimmy Castor Bunch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watch me now
Fill the room
Into something
Gonna make you move

Here we come
On the run
Don't know what
We're running from

Day or night
Black or white
That's the scene
You gotta do your thing
You gotta do your thing

Peace will come
This world will rest
Once we have
Togetherness ah

Day or night
Dynamite
We had fun
But it's just begun
It's just begun
It's just begun

It's just begun
Gun




Gun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Jimmy Castor Bunch's song "It's Just Begun" capture the electric energy of a performance that is about to take off. The first verse sets the tone for the high-energy performance that is about to ensue, as the singer promises to "make you move" and "fill the room". The second verse is a little more cryptic, with the singer and his companions running "on the run" without knowing what they're running from. The chorus repeats the motifs of day and night, black and white, and the imperative to "do your thing".


It's clear that there's something more going on here than just a party or a performance. The third verse suggests that the song is also an expression of hope for a better world. "Peace will come, this world will rest / Once we have togetherness ah" suggests that the band's performance is not just a source of entertainment, but a way of bridging divides and bringing people together. The repeated refrain of "It's just begun" is a statement of purpose, suggesting that the energy and optimism of the performance will carry out into the wider world beyond the song.

THIS SONG IS STILL A TIMELESS CLASSIC AFTER 49 YEARS.

@MD-DLive

What's so interesting is that this group had many funky albums such as Bertha butt boogie, hey leroy, the cave man song,etc. Definitely should have been on Unsung. I remember hearing of Jimmy Castor's passing several years back! I dont think he was even acknowledged much! Was he of Caribbean descent was always a question I had? ( Of course, African- black) however his music had a lot of that feel! RIP- Jimmy Castor!

@HEADBANGRR

Definitely blows away any rapcrap noise 😎
