Lyrics

Just sit back and. relax
Listen to the 8-track
I'll dig you like an old soul record

Remember back in the day
When everyone was black and conscious
And down for the struggle
Love brought us all together
Just sittin'back and talkin'
Cultivating a positive vibe
Blue lights in the basement
Freedom was at hand and you could just taste it
Everything was cool. diggin'on me diggin'on you
Everything was cool and brothers were singing
"Ain't no woman like the one I got"

I'm diggin'you
I dig you like an old soul record
Just sit back. relax. listen to the 8-track
I'll dig you like an old soul record

Now brothers (be) base-in
Running from the beat-down cops that be chasin'
Running out of time. running out of patience
In this war of the conscious mind
I need some black-on-black love
A slow grind for these changin'times (the booty-slammin'part!)

Beautiful brown bodies. pimp, switch and sway
To the soulful sounds. gotta get up gotta get down
'Cause you give me good feeling
You give me good feeling. yes you do

I'm diggin'you
I dig you like an old soul record
Just sit back. relax. listen to the 8-track
I'll dig you like an old soul record
