Trippin' |
| I grew up in a small town |
| World War II housing |
| For people of color |
| Now when I was a kid round 8 years old |
| My bedroom wall was next to a single guy |
| A thin wall away from mine |
| Was that a sign |
| Trippin' |
| Trippin' on a memory |
| You know I’m trippin' |
| Memories |
| Nearly every weekend the guy played music |
| That I later found out was jazz |
| The bass funky… the sax player |
| The trumpet soloed |
| Maybe Ray Charles or Les McCann |
| The sound was oh so soaked |
| With a lot of blues |
| Maybe it was Miles |
| The music really drew me in |
| I love the way it made me feel |
| Made me hope this dream |
| Just trippin' |
| Trippin' on a memory |
| A memory |
| The music would play as he got dressed |
| The groove that they do at the club |
| When the DJ turned off the music |
| They’re leaving home with some girl to rub |
| The music would start up again |
| Surrounded by the sex |
| The blues |
| The knocks on the wall |
| Mama was always screaming |
| Is somebody hurt |
| Or did somebody fall |
| Backgroud |
| I never knew, you'd draw me in |
| Foreground |
| I loved the music |
| Loved the way it drew me in |
| Loved the way it made me feel |
| Made me hope and dream that day |
| I dreamed of |
| Playing on the records |
| Being at the gig |
| Knockin on the thin wall |
| Later I found that music could mean |
| What you want it to mean |
| Its the yen and the yang |
| As Cannon used to say Ahuuuummm ! |
| THE BALL USED TO SAY AAAHHHUUUMMM ! |
| As the ball, used to say AAAAAHHHUMMMM ! |
