Songtekst

Hey!
Listen up y'all, this rhythm is a mama, hit it!
Tribute

Hit it now
Hit it now
Tribute

Hey, I wanna tell you a story, oooh yeah
It's about the groove, alright now, look here
Hope it makes you move
And gets your rhythm too, yeah, yeah

Well, there's music from the past
Music for the young and old
Music revelation
Rock and roll and soul

So right on (Right on, right on)
I said the beat was right on (Right on, right on)
On and on and on

Right on (Right on, right on)
Everybody
Right on (Right on, right on)

There was little Richard (Tutti Frutti)
And Elvis too (Shook up, shook up, shook up)
Way back in the fifties (Way back, way back, way back)
They was doing it for me and you

Well, I know there is a way
With music we can say
These songs are in our blood
So let them play 'cause it's happening today

Right on (Right on, right on)
I said the beat was right on (Right on, right on)
I said the beat was right on (Right on, right on), got it
I said the beat was right on (Right on, right on), yeah

And we see it all so clear
The music while we're here
And we need it everyday
No doubt about it, we can show you the way

Talking about Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson was their names
Ever since then things ain't been the same (Ain't been the same)
Otis Redding, God may rest his soul
Play back James Brown (How he slides, I don't know)

There's motor city that gave us the Motown tunes

They laid the foundation, Lord, and made Detroit something new

Yeah, we're talking about Marvin Gaye (What's going on)
Little Stevie (For once in my life)
Smokey (Tears of a clown)
Supremes (Baby love)

Right on (Right on, right on)
I said the beat was right on (Right on, right on)
(Right on, right on) Right on, yeah
Sing about it, right on (Right on, right on)

Ike and Tina (Right on, right on)
Aretha Franklin (Right on, right on)
Wilson Pickett (Right on, right on)
Jimi Hendrix (Right on, right on)

Sound of Philly (Sound of Philly)
The Jackson Five (Jackson Five)
All these sounds are still alive, oooh!

Blow, Horace, blow

We're right on (Right on, right on)
We're right on (Right on, right on)
We're right on (Right on, right on)
We're right on (Right on, right on)

We're right on (Right on, right on)
We're right on
