From Chains to Funk

[Verse] It started on the fields Y'all Workin' all day (oo-yeah!) Chains on their feet but they found a way (uh-huh!) Rhythms in the heart Beats in the soul Sangin' through the pain Made 'em whole (ye-yeah!) [Chorus] From chains to funk We lift the funk flag high! (oh-wee!) Soundtrack to the struggle Neva gonna die (uh-huh!) Movin' on the beat Keep the spirit fly (hoo!) From chains to funk Let the groove testify (say what!) [Verse 2] Blues in the Delta Pain in each note (mm-hmm!) Singin' ‘bout sorrow Hope they wrote Then came the jazz Man it was a blast (whoa!) Trumpets and drums They was movin’ so fast (uh-huh!) [Chorus] From chains to funk We lift the funk flag high! (oh-wee!) Soundtrack to the struggle Neva gonna die (uh-huh!) Movin' on the beat Keep the spirit fly (hoo!) From chains to funk Let the groove testify (say what!) [Bridge] Then the soul erupted Voices loud and clear (ha!) Tales of joy and pain For the world to hear Gospel to Motown Rhythm that flows ('dat right!) Stompin' to freedom Where the funk grows (let's go!) [Chorus] From chains to funk We lift the funk flag high! (oh-wee!) Soundtrack to the struggle Neva gonna die (uh-huh!) Movin' on the beat Keep the spirit fly (hoo!) From chains to funk Let the groove testify (say what!)
