Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[D] star of the[G] show
Hardworking Mr. Dynamite
James [Dm]Brown, [F]Brown, [Dm]Brown[Am]
[Em]Hey

[Verse 2]
[G]
[Dm]Hey[Am]
[Em]Hey[Dm]
Hey
[G]Yo,[Dm] I don't

[Verse 3]
mean to brag,
there's the tag
Brown got a brand new [G]bag
Shining star up to par, bars guitars
So [D]far so good, gettin' [Dm]greater at last
Where it counts, later for the last
First [D]you're dead and stinkin'
Thinkin', winkin',
[G]drinkin', sink[Dm]in'
Ba ba [G]ba ba blinkin'

[Verse 4]
Baby paw
[Dm]New York City [Dm]is in the house
Without a doubt, we [Dm]turn the mutha out
Routs threw out shouts,
"Ain't we funky now?"
Godfather, soul brother number [Dm]one
[G]Ugh

[Verse 5]
[Dm]
(Ugh)
Ugh
(Ugh)
Ugh
I'm hot, huh

[Verse 6]
90 are levels [Dm]of degrees burnin'
Turnin' in a rough rota[G]tion
Livin' in the land of the [F]lost and found
[G]Can't drown in sounds of the James Brown,
[Dm]Brown, Brown, [G]Brown
This is the [Em]mixture when you add hard tex

[Verse 7]
[G]
ture
Can't get no harder,
so I'm out to getcha
It's essence felt,
you're turned inside out
Fellas, what you gon' [F]say now?
Thirsty? [G]Not, my verse just
quenched your [F]thirst
From the [Dm]burst of energy
shinin' on the appetite
Can't cross the thin line
of the end of my time
(Hah)

[Verse 8]
Hold it, I'm still burnin', [Dm]pop or not
I come to break up [G]slots
'Cause [Dm]it can't get no harder
Give it to [C]me, Godfather

[Verse 9]
Can't get any [Dm]harder
Than what I got
'Cause what I got is
sho' nuff hard to stop
[G]Can't get any har[Dm]der
'Cause what I got
'Cause what I got is sho'
nuff hard to stop, hey
[G]I've been around for a long time
Don't let [Em]nobody bring
[G]me down[Dm][G]
Rock [F]solid, [G]solid as a rock
Too smooth [G]to move[Em]
[Dm]and too hard to stop

[Verse 10]
Oh [Dm]yes, come and get with this
entourage
As we get busy in the garage
Leaders of the new, forever large
'Cause we got the funk flip [G]script,
oh [Dm]yes
Get up and ill, [G]everybody move your hip
[Dm]Scream out, "Yes"
That's what I'm talkin' about,
ah
Busta, Leaders come and [G]turn it out
[Dm]Don't try to front on the flavor
Save that for later
Or join the Maker in the
spirit like an elevator
You wanna know somethin' funny?
[G]I was devast

[Verse 11]
[Dm]ated when I elaborated
how we collaborated
With singers in music
activated
Most necessary that we salute
[G]many too livin' legendary
[Dm]James Brown comin' to you,
better open the door
Because I wanna mop the floor
