Victor Wooten - Ba** Tribute lyrics

U gotta have something on the bottom if U want to have a band Gotta have a strong foundation if U gonna make a stand The ba** is center solid as a rock When your body starts moving U know U just can't stop It's played with the soul not just with the hands By the best ba** players in the land When the ba** starts thumpin' sho 'nuff hits the spot And I hope it never stops Stanley Clarke, I tip my hat to U Jaco Pastorius, U know I love U too Larry Graham, thank U for all U do Just thumpin' on the ba**, just thumpin' on the ba** ow yeah, I'm just thumpin' on the ba** Ba** players used tobe the one standing in the back When Jaco first played "Donna Lee", it sho' changed that When I first saw Stanley Clarke my jaw hit the floor Bootsy Collins playing "Sex Machine" just give me some mo' Larry Graham, thank U man, for playing that thumb Louis Johnson, Marcus Miller, U gotta give them some Anthony Jackson, Paul McCartney, Chuck Rainey, Willie Weeks I wanna thank U all for making it speak Bootsy Collins, I tip my hat to U Marcus Miller, U know I love U too James Jamerson, thank U for all U do Just thumpin' on the ba**, just thumpin' on the ba** ow yeah, I'm just thumpin' on the ba** The ba**, the bottom, low down funky nasty, How low can U go? Ba** Line. The Ba**ment. Oh yeah. What would Stanley say if he were here today? What would Jaco say if he were here today? What would Larry say if he were here today? What would Bootsy say if he were here today? What would Marcus say if he were here today? What would Rocco say if he were here today? Anthony Jackson Willie Weeks Ray Brown Robert Wilson Stanley Clarke, I tip my hat to U Jaco Pastorius, U know I love U too Larry Graham, thank U for all U do Everyone, we owe it all to you And to all the the other masters of the low end Thanks for doing what U do We love U and we haven't forgotten
