I`ve been through all them changes
A lot of stuff came down
I`ve dealt with all the issues
You might say I`ve been around
But back when I got started
There was a righteous sound

It doesn`t matter what I`ve been through
I`ll still be diggin` on James Brown

Ya know the more things change
The more they stay the same
It may be a different age
But I`m on the same page

Cause one thing that I`ve found
I`ll still be diggin` on James Brown

I had an attitude adjustment
I did some psycho therapy
I helped myself to some self-help
I dabbled in some ESP
Though my world is ever-changing
And I move from town to town

It doesn`t matter where I`ve been to
I`ll still be diggin` on James Brown

Ya know the more things change
The more they stay the same
It may be a different age
But I`m on the same page

Cause one thing that I`ve found
I`ll still be diggin` on James Brown

You got your rap and your disco
You got your drum machine
You got your r-rated gangster
You got your grungy scene
You got your state of the art
You got your digital sound

It doesn`t matter where it`s going to
I`ll still be diggin` on James Brown

Take it to the bridge
It`ll get ya where ya live
When there`s water all around
You can still get outta town
And still be diggin` on James Brown

Ya know the more things change
The more they stay the same
It may be a different age
But I`m on the same page

Cause one thing that I`ve found
I`ll still be diggin` on James Brown
