Текст песни Mind Power (James Brown) с переводом

You know

We’re dealing with

A very critical and crucial time

The most

Crucial and critical time that I’ve ever witnessed

Being as young as I am

You know

We all don’t want to say nothing else, so we say «as young as we are.»

Now I want to talk about

The pronunciation

And the realization

Now the educators

They call it

Positive thinking, right?

Some of the people across the other side of the pond call it

Vibe

Vibrations

Astrology and all those different things you understand

But I call it «what it is, is what it is»

What it is, is what it is

Look here

Now you see

A brother

You see, in the ghetto you find a whole lot of crime

I can understand

Hey

I know what it means

Being nine years old before I got my first pair of underwear out of a store

You know

Putting on a half

A half pressed suit

From the pawn shop

With tennis shoes

Trying to be hip

See I know where its coming from

Like the fellow sang, «having catfish head stew»

Its just like the catfish went in there with his head and came out very quick

and didn’t leave nothing else!

Now, there’s one thing that the educators and the politicians and the

establishment

Got to remember

Now, brothers need jobs

If you don’t work

You can’t eat

If you don’t work

You can’t eat

Get hip to yourself, good god, my brother, and get it from the street

If you don’t work

You can’t eat

Sis

If you don’t work, lord

You can’t eat

So you’ve got to have Mind Power to deal with starvation

And that’s what we’re dealing with

You see we can’t

Go back to the biblical stories

«2 loaves of bread»

Er, «2 little fishes, 5 loaves of bread.»

«2 little fishes», yeah

«5 loaves of bread.»

Now look here

There’s too many brothers going by that

Now I want you brothers to dig where we coming from

Set your mind

Right here

Dig the JBE experience

I dug this from a young man out of New York

He said the GBE

The GBE

Now we want to take it to the JBE

The JB Experience

Mind Power

Mind Power

Mind

Mind Power

What it is, is what it is

What it is, is what it is

It is

What it is

It is what it is

It is what it is

That’s what it is

It is

What it is

That’s what it is

You know

Dealing with Harlem

South Side of Chicago

The Bay area

Watts

Five Points, Buttermilk Bottom in Atlanta

Ninth Street in Augusta

West Broad in Savannah

U Street in Washington

Going on over to Baltimore

South Street in Philly

Boston

I know

Somebody needs to help us

Give us

Just give us a chance

Somebody

Brothers across the nation

You got to get yourself together

Unified

We need information

Brothers across the nation

Pass on that right-on

Information

Brothers across the nation
