mahogany jones - bring back the soul lyrics

mahogany jones – “bring back the soul”
[emcee(s): mahogany jones]
[producer(s): mozaic (ago)]

[verse 1: mahogany jones]
wanna feel it before i hear it, touch it before i see it
told me that i could be it, i believed it since a fetus
before michael jackson “beat it,” would memorize and repeat it
press rewind on c-ssettes—you couldn’t just delete it
it was a different era back then, back when
i was learning to add and subtract all my fractions
ain’t half of what it used to be, but i’m still attracted
to the boom bap, the way the b-ss slaps
before traps met track, when it was 8-track
it was my momma’s music. i was stupid, used to think that
it was useless. now i use it to groove with
to move with the ebbing flow
the stop-and-go of living life
and this movement’s soul music
soundtrack to the power movement
black, that is. let’s factor in
where it is, we end. that’s where god begins
let’s bring it back. let’s bring it back
gotta bring it back. old
soul

[hook: mahogany jones]
resurrect it, then perfect it
liquify it, then inject it
in the hearts of the people when they least expect it
give ‘em that sugar water, give ‘em that sugar water
resurrect it, then perfect it
liquify it, then inject it
in the hearts of the people when they least expect it
give ‘em that sugar water. they need that sugar water

[verse 2: mahogany jones]
community and culture, my sankofa
when i used to love this and post up all the posters
before all the posers, when this was like folgers
“the best part of waking up.” let’s wake up
this is a shakedown. it’s time to take up
the grammar. this is my arm and hammer
time to rebuild and reset the standard. you’re thinking
it’s chutes and ladders, but these is serious matters. couldn’t
say you was the greatest. you had to defend the t-tle
bring back vinyl, bring back richie
not the code, but lionel when being original was
vital for survival when heaven arrival wasn’t
about the image, wasn’t ‘bout record sales, wasn’t
‘bout the gimmicks. we was in it to win it, and to
win it didn’t mean that we had to mimic who was
hot for minute, cooled down while their second-round
careers was finished. then they sound diminished. they
just want to hit it. ain’t n0body committed to ma-
-king cl-ssics—you can feel the difference. we need
soul. we need soul

[hook: mahogany jones] (x2)
resurrect it, then perfect it
liquify it, then inject it
in the hearts of the people when they least expect it
give ‘em that sugar water, give ‘em that sugar water
resurrect it, then perfect it
liquify it, then inject it
in the hearts of the people when they least expect it
give ‘em that sugar water. they need that sugar water
