Otis Grey - There It Is lyrics

Yep, back in the day, DJ clubbing / Late nights all the time, still felt nothing / Got the attention, yeh girls were stunning / But if I told you that the scene was sweet, then I'd be bluffing / Managers and the bouncers always frontin' / Out to impress, ain't impressive to be munting / Pick fights, insecure's always stuntin' / Here to chill with bro's but every bro's bird hunting / See, I got told that funk was feminine / Was a little confused, yeah I wasn't gettin' em / Being told to dance wasn't gonna better them / So I took it on board and damn right I let it in / Something was wrong, I knew what was right / Dreamt up an idea till the sound was mad tight / I was searching for that funk in my life / Filing through the records till I found the one to provide / Yep and I was like / / Chorus / Sample / ‘But I knew the answer to why people'.. Never understand / To land that kind vibe there's a bigger command / Put the grand old school feel in to the band / Cause we plan to bring the mad jam back to the stands / Down with the trends cause you got it all this week / Wearing the same threads cause we're all so indie / Asking like “I want some mainstream to sing please." / And that's why my boy on decks gon spin these / Yeah we vibing and knowing it comes alive / When a show is on every night and we go if the place provides em with / Flow and it's so exciting to grow with a beat thats tight / And I know that I get all hype but yo it's so damn enlightening and / Yeah its true, feeling I got from it / Pretty hard to explain, yep but to be honest / Gave me the boogie, something I never wanted / So I pressed play and watched the whole world get on it like / / Chorus / Sample / / Bridge / Sample / Contagious on the beat that we spreading n' nobody gon regret it / I said it, they wanna have a boogie, then we gonna let em / Have the night that they wanted, so for real they gonna get it, don't sweat it / If life brings you down, don't let it / Got the wrong sound, some came to get down / In the place that we found, so they getting around / Never in control, only caring bout the back seat / Always picking up strangers, ‘Taxi' / So many people work their a** off for a solid day / Just so they can be trippin, n' I ain't talking holidays / Hoping that their wallet pays for some kind of purpose / Look back n' wonder if their whole week was worth it / Bumpin the scene and it's kind of a scary biz / Yeah we aim to be preparing kids / So they can all be blaring this / So we'll make em' all be saying uh / / Chorus / Sample / Sample / Credits: - ‘There It Is' - Shalamar - From Album ‘Friends' (1982) - Produced by: Leon Sylvers III & Jeffrey Daniel - Ba** by: Pat Gabriel & Adam Ball - Cuts by: Jai K - Mastered by: Tommy Spender
