I close my eyes and dance to a hypnotic beat that Mother Earth decides to send my way today Capricorn inside an Aquarian I AM that you are foreplay for the mind Oh how sweet it is The pulsating rhythm of Imagination dances to a place of no today tomorrow no time or space Promise to Be A goddess of never ending gently guiding my footsteps to that someday when Donny said We'd all be free and I hear Mama say (Keep doin' what ya do) My Father sayin' (Keep doin' what ya do) Somethin' inside me say (Keep doin' what ya do) Oh Brutha say it (Keep doin' what ya do) I hear ya Sistah say it (Keep doin' what ya do) Everybody say (Keep doin' what ya do) Thought I'd see mySelf when I decided to let you in But you've become another kind of tear that I'm crying One whose reflection is never shown yet felt kind of like a good sermon on a Sunday morning where the Sistah's be shoutin' and dancin' and folk be testifyin' I've gone down to the river and danced with the ghost who've come to tempt my Soul to question my reason for Love or not to Love I've slow grind with uncovered pain and fear Hustled with liberal minded Electric slid in to the hands on the trigger and fake smiles that say We don't see you Nigger and I hear Mama say (Keep doin' what ya do) My Father sayin' (Keep doin' what ya do) Somethin' inside me say (Keep doin' what ya do) Oh Brutha say it (Keep doin' what ya do) I hear ya Sistah say it (Keep doin' what ya do) Everybody say (Keep doin' what ya do) Time to get jazzy y'all jazzy So let's all go back to the time when the rhythm was the Word that soothed and grooved and the Word was spoken yet silently heard A cool breeze sends my heart runnin' to a rainbow of colors where no one trips and my chocolate skin doesn't evoke fear or offend A place where we can play like a never ending symphony whose movements are swift and flowing like the fruits of the Earth used to be Outstretched hands she cries Dance Sistah Brutha Dance Come on sing of the Love our peep's dreamed of An ever loving plan ya gotta understand the one thing that makes us free and I hear Mama say (Keep doin' what ya do) My Father sayin' (Keep doin' what ya do) Somethin' inside me say (Keep doin' what ya do) Oh Brutha say it (Keep doin' what ya do) I hear ya Sistah say it (Keep doin' what ya do) Everybody say (Keep doin' what ya do) and I know Mama say (Keep doin' what ya do) My Father sayin' (Keep doin' what ya do) Somethin' inside me say (Keep doin' what ya do) Oh Brutha he say it (Keep doin' what ya do) I hear ya Sistah say it (Keep doin' what ya do) Everybody say (Keep doin' what ya do) Keep doin' it (Keep doin' what ya do) Keep doin' it (Keep doin' what ya do) I'm gonna Keep doin' it (Keep doin' what ya do) Somethin' inside me say Keep doin' it (Keep doin' what ya do) I'm gonna doin' it (Keep doin' what ya do) I'm gonna Keep doin' it (Keep doin' what ya do) I'm gonna you gonna play gonna Keep doin' it (Keep doin' what ya do) Keep on doin' it
