[Intro] Get back, get back Back to the basics Get back, get back Where the floor still shakes [Verse 1 - Male] Too much flash in the window Too much noise in the room Every headline wants a reaction Every track wants to jump the moon But I remember a pocket That could turn a wall into heat One tight groove, one honest rhythm And a thousand moving feet [Pre-Chorus - Female] No need to chase the latest thunder No need to dress it up in gold If the rhythm hits you under You already know [Chorus - Male and Female] Back to funk basics, back to the root Strip it down till the whole room moves Back to funk basics, give it that feel Less about the shock, more about what’s real Male: Can you feel it? Female: We can feel it! Male: Can you move it? Female: We can move it! Both: Back to funk basics, back to the groove [Verse 2 - Female] Everybody’s reaching for extreme now Trying to make the moment explode But a simple line with a crooked little rhythm Can carry the heaviest load Put the pocket in the center Let the bass speak low and deep When the kick lands with the clap behind it The tired heart wakes from sleep [Pre-Chorus - Male] No need to chase another costume No need to shout above the soul When the groove comes right through you You lose control [Chorus - Male and Female] Back to funk basics, back to the root Strip it down till the whole room moves Back to funk basics, give it that feel Less about the shock, more about what’s real Male: Can you feel it? Female: We can feel it! Male: Can you move it? Female: We can move it! Both: Back to funk basics, back to the groove [Bridge - Vocoder and Female Harmonies] Take away the glitter, leave the spark Take away the noise, keep the heart One bass note, one clean break One good reason for the floor to quake [Call and Response] Male: What do we need? Female: The pocket! Male: What do we need? Female: The rhythm! Male: What do we need? Female: The feeling! Both: Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back! [Instrumental Break] Back to funk! Back to funk! Keep it simple! Keep it moving! [Final Chorus - Male and Female] Back to funk basics, back to the root Strip it down till the whole room moves Back to funk basics, give it that feel Less about the shock, more about what’s real Male: Can you feel it? Female: We can feel it! Male: Can you move it? Female: We can move it! Both: Back to funk basics, back to the groove [Outro] Get back, get back Back to the basics Get back, get back Let the rhythm make it Back to funk basics
