Funkadelic was an American band most prominent during the 1970s. The band and its sister act Parliament, both led by George Clinton, began the funk music culture of that decade.
The group that would become Funkadelic was originally formed by George Clinton in 1964, as the unnamed musical backing for his doo wop group The Parliaments while on tour. The band originally consisted of musicians Frankie Boyce, Richard Boyce, and Langston Booth plus the five members of the Parliaments on vocals. Boyce, Boyce, and Booth enlisted in the Army in 1966, and Clinton recruited bassist Billy Bass Nelson and guitarist Eddie Hazel in 1967, then also added guitarist Tawl Ross and drummer Tiki Fulwood. The band name "Funkadelic" was coined by Nelson after the band relocated to Detroit. By 1968, because of a dispute with Revilot, the record company that owned the name "The Parliaments", the ensemble began playing under the name Funkadelic.
As Funkadelic, the group signed to Westbound in 1968. Around this time, the group's music evolved from soul and doo wop into a harder guitar-driven mix of psychedelic rock, soul and funk, much influenced by the popular musical (and political) movements of the time. Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone were major inspirations. This style later evolved into a tighter guitar-based funk (circa 1971-75), which subsequently, during the height of Parliament-Funkadelic success (circa 1976-81), added elements of R&B and electronic music, with less psychedelic rock elements.
Parliament-Funkadelic is a funk, soul and rock music collective headed by George Clinton. Their style has been dubbed P-Funk. Collectively the group has existed under various names since the 1960s and has been known for top-notch musicianship, politically charged lyrics, outlandish concept albums and memorable live performances. They influenced numerous post-disco and post-punk music groups of the 1980s and 1990s.
The collective's origins date back to the doo-wop group The Parliaments, formed in the late 1950s in Plainfield, New Jersey. Under Clinton's direction, by the early 1970s the groups Parliament and Funkadelic were operating concurrently and consisted of the same stable of musicians playing different types of funk music for two different labels. The name "Parliament-Funkadelic" became the catch-all term for the multiple bands in Clinton's stable. By the late 1970s the collective had grown to include dozens of musicians recording and touring under many different group names and solo projects. (See P-Funk offshoot groups and solo ventures.) Overall, the collective achieved thirteen top ten hits in the American R&B music charts between 1967 and 1983, including six number one hits. Funkadelic is a funk band with a psychedelic rock touch whose influences include the amplifier sounds of Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, James Brown's funk, blues, Sun Ra's experimentation, Frank Zappa's and the Coasters' humour, the concept albums of the Beatles and the Who and southern soul artists like Otis Redding and Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Parliament is a funk/R&B band whose influences are the funky side of Hendrix and Sly Stone, Motown soul groups turned funk groups like the Temptations, the political songs of the Impressions, Rufus Thomas' southern funk, doo-wop groups like the Coasters for the humour and Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers.

You took the heat out of the flame
You took the heat right out of the flame.
Out of the fire burning they came walking side by side:
They were Shadrack, Meshack and Abendigo untouched by the burning fire.
They said 'He took the heat right out of the flame!

Nobody but the Lord, the Lord God Almighty took the heat out of the flame! '

Deep in the jungle where the coconut grows,
Where the tiger and the lion boogie with the rhino,
There's a tribe over here, there's a tribe over there,
Drums beatin' funky rhythm they were talking everywhere.
Too all you people out there.
Men born of woman or whoever you are!
We sing this strong song right from the heart,
Letting you know that the drums won't burn.
He took the heat out of the flame.

The shape of things to come
Can you dig it
Can you imagine this?
Travel like a king
Listen to the inner voice
A higher wisdom is at work for you
Conqering the stumbling blocks come easier
When the conqueror is in tune with the infinite
Every ending is a new beginning
Life is an endless unfoldment
Change your mind, and you change your relation to time
You can find the answer
The solution lies within the problem
The answer is in every question
Dig it?
An attitude is all you need to rise and walk away
Inspire yourself
Your life is yours
It fits you like your skin
The oak sleeps in the acorn
The giant sequoia tree sleeps in its tiny seed
The bird waits in the egg
God waits for his unfoldment in man
Fly on, children
Play on
You gravitate to that which you secretly love most
You meet in life the exact reproduction of your own thoughts
There is no chance, coincidence or accident
In a world ruled by law and divine order
You rise as high as your dominant aspiration
You descend to the level of your lowest concept of your self
Free your mind and your ass will follow
The infinite intelligence within you knows the answers
Its nature is to respond to your thoughts
Be careful of the thought-seeds you plant in the garden of your mind
For seeds grow after their kind
Play on, children
Every thought felt as true
Or allowed to be accepted as true by your conscious mind
Take roots in your subconscious
Blossoms sooner or later into an act
And bears its own fruit
Good thoughts bring forth good fruit
Bullshit thoughts rot your meat
Think right, and you can fly
The kingdom of heaven is within
Free your mind, and your ass will follow
Play on, children
Sing on, lady
-a
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(x5)
(let me hear you say)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(let me hear you say)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(yeah-yeah) yeah, yeah, yeah
If you and your folks love me and my folks like
Me and my folks love you and your folks
If there ever was folks
That ever ever was poor
If you and your thing dig me and my thing
Like me and my thing dig you and your thing
And we all got a thing
Yeah, and it's a very good thing
Ha! But if in our fears, we don't learn to trust each other
And if in our tears, we don't learn to share with your brother
You know that hate is gonna keep on multiplying
And you know that man is gonna keep right on dying
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(x4)
The rich got a big piece of this and that
The poor got a big piece of roaches and rats
Can you get to that
Tell me where it's at
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
{until last two verses, under other lyrics}
Hey!
You want peace
I want peace
They want peace
And the kids need peace
There won't be no peace
The rich got a big piece of this and that
The poor got a big piece of roaches and rats
Can you get to that
Tell me where it's at
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah
If you and your folks loved me and my folks
Like me and my folks love you and your folks
If there ever was folks
That ever ever was poor
If you and your thing dig me and my thing
Like me and my thing dig you and your thing
Then we all got a thing
And it's a very good thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah (x2)
If you will suck my soul
I will lick your funky emotions
(Hey baby, hey...had something last night...man, it was strange...it taste so good...it was some good stuff)
Do it again
Yeah
Hey baby
What's your thang?
What say we touch each other?
Mess around and get our thing goin' on
Yeah, ha, ha, ha!
Ohh, ohh
Whoa!
Yeah
Shucks!
Ba-ba ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba bomp bomp buh buh buh buh bah!
By the way, my name is Funk
I am not of your world
Hold still, baby, I won't do you no harm
I think I'll be good to you
Fly on
Hmm, hehhehheheh
Whoa
Lord!
Like I said, I won't do you no harm
I am Funkadelic
Dedicated to the feeling of good
And baby, I'm good at being good
Let me play with your emotions
For nothing is good unless you play with it
Yeah
Fly on
Fly on, baby
So...nasty!
I didn't make the rules
I follow them
And what's so nasty about funky music?
Heh, heh, feels good to me!
Lord!
Ba-ba ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba bomp bomp buh buh buh buh bah!
(x4)
Whoa! Yeah!
Wait a minute
Do you feel that?
Lord
Lord, baby
Fly on
Fly on, baby
Let me kiss your mind
Hahha
Let me slide a yard of tongue down your throat
There's nothing wrong with that
Merely a kiss
Why is everyone afraid to say:
Kiss me baby! (make it?)
Whoa, yeah
Kiss me baby!
Kiss me
I like it like that
I like it like that
Owww!
Play with it, baby
Play with it
Play with your emotions
Go ahead, brother
Release all of those feelings
We donc12
Yowwwwww--hii!

If you got funk, you got style
You're funkin' and you're styling all the while
When you got funk, you got class
You're out on the floor movin' your ass
She ain't conscientious about her talk
Don't give a damn about her walk
She gets to that and that's the funk?
When she does this funk she never stop
I don't claim to be a super freak
She just want to dance to a freaky beat
She don't claim to be a cover girl
Don't claim to be, but give it a whirl
Go 'head, go 'head, go 'head (cover girl)
Go 'head, go 'head, go 'head (super freak)
Go 'head, go 'head, go 'head (she ain't)

Your Honor, I didn't do it
I didn't pimp her just for money
What's wrong with making her call me daddy?
Your Honor, I didn't do it
Oh, Your Honor, she didn't like it
I don't care what she said
I didn't make her sell head
Your Honor, I didn't do it
The judge and jury just frowned at me
They said, "For exploiting your lady
Just for a payday is a sin and you will pay"
When getting over is high above your head
And gettin' high can get you dead
What are you supposed to do?
I didn't pimp her to support my high
Pick up my car and keep me flyin'
No, Your Honor, I did not do it
The judge and jury still frowned
(Your Honor)
And said, "Ten to twenty"
Your Honor, I still did not do it
Your Honor

Who says a jazz band
Can't play dance music?
Who says a rock band
Can't play funky?
Who says a funk band
Can't play rock?
Oh yeah!
We're gonna play some
Funk so loud
We're gonna
Rock and roll around
Watch them dance
Watch them dance
We really love to play
We really want to stay here
Won't you take the time
To get the music on your mind
We'll release you from the bind.
We've been around for such a while
Be kinda hard not to have style
When time get slower
By the mile
We relax and wear a great big smile
You can count my teeth
1,2,3
Four
Five
People think
'Cause we are here
Our jazz ran out
The ships won't steer
No more
We picked up on the rhythm here
If you just take a toot and have a beer
We're gonna make it clear
Ho ho
Yes, and when the morning gets here
Jazz and soul
We never take a chance
Music is our one romance, yeah
May I have this dance
Give it a chance
Whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-ho-ho-ho oh, I
Yeah, ha
Oh, I Oh, I
Whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-ho-ho-ho oh, I
Oh, I Oh, I
Whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-ho-ho-ho oh, I
Hey
Get a little peek, the picture gets clearer
Time well spent, brings you nearer my love
I like to do that
starting to dream
Yeah a glossy 8x10
she had such gorgeous hair
I always miss my kisses there
But lately I just sing
I pretend
Oh, I Oh, I
Whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-ho-ho-ho oh, I
Oh, I Oh, I
Whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-ho-ho-ho oh, I

Reminds me of the time on the love we spent
making love after dark

Oh, I Oh, I
Whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-ho-ho-ho oh, I
Oh, I Oh, I
Whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-oo whoa-ho-ho-ho oh, I
the picture gets clear
Much queerer than science fiction
Is this pain, about my new affliction
Waves of pain are sweeping through me
Just tell me who would ever believe me
Rather than believe because you leavin'
To cause me to suffer all this greivin'
I blame it on something that can't be explained
I said that I've got a new kind of pain
I've got headache in my heart, heartache in my head
Each and every single day
Money is spent in some sort of way
Forget all the doctors being absolutely certain
For months for me they can't find what's hurting
When the pills that the pain brings on
It's got nothin' to do with the fact that you're gone
You ain't the reason why I don't sleep at night
It's only because I'm trying to fight this
Headache in my heart, then I got a heartache in my head
Whooooo-hoooo-oooooo-ooooooo-ooo-ohh-ohh-ohhhhhhhhh, huh!
Whooooo-hoooo-oooooo-ooooooo-ooo-ohhhhhh-heyyyyhoooahhooh

If it's right, it's all right with you now
And if it's right, it's all right for me now, yo-ho
Any night you'll be uptight until you find
That the wrong and the right are within your mind, yo-ho
Into you now
Into you now
Into you now
Into you, my people
Into you now
Into you now
Into you now
Into you, my people
Into you now
Into you now
Into you now
Into you, my people

She said I know the drummer, can you let me in?
Tell the guitar player I brought a friend
Ask the roadies do they need a hand?
Tell the manager there's a girl named Jan
The doorman said, "No head, no backstage pass"
The doorman said, "No head, no backstage pass"
The doorman said, "No head, no backstage pass"
The doorman said, "No head, no backstage pass"
The doorman said, "No head, no backstage pass"
The doorman said, "No head, no backstage pass"
Not by the hair of my chinny chin, chin
If you ain't giving head, you ain't getting in
The doorman said, "No head, no backstage pass"

Ask the roadies do they need a hand?

You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
I thought I knew all there is to do
I stuck out my chest and dove into a love
With ego in charge, I charged into what seemed
To be the quickest way into manhood
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
Eat this for me and from a tiny tree
She plucked some fruit and placed it on her navel
I was no freak, but I was gettin' weak
I chose the quickest way into her womanhood
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
Eat this for me and from a tiny tree
She plucked a fruit and placed it on her navel
I was no freak, but I was gettin' weak
I chose the quickest way into her womanhood
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me
You scared me, baby
You scared the love right outta me

I wanna know if it's good to you, baby
When you do what you do to me
I know that it must have been good to you, baby
'Cause it sure feels good to me
I don't know what you been doin'
But it's got my whole world groovin'
Since we met everything keeps movin'
Because of you
Said you blow my mind, you sure look fine
You make my heart beat sweeter than
The honey that replaced the rain
Since I met you
I wanna know if it's good to you, baby
When you do what you do to me
I know that it must have been good to you, baby
'Cause it sure feels good to me
Oh, do you feel the fire in your veins
Every time you call my name?
Do it give you the pleasure
To be the reason for me feeling good
Oh, yeah, ah ah ah whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Look out here I come

Right back where I started from
Look out here I come

Whoa, yeah, look out here I come

Balance is my thing, the sun don't
Snow, wind and rain most times
Balance is my thing, the sun don't
Snow, wind and rain most times
Mother I can see it, I can hear it
But I don't know where it's coming from
Mother are you sure
This is the time in which we belong
Hey, mother don't be angry, don't be jealous
And don't forget who is to blame
Mother it was you, it was not me who
Created this conflicting brain, oh, woah
Balance is my thing, the sun don't
Snow, wind and rain most times
Hey, mother I can feel it, I can taste it
I can smell what it's all about
Hey, mother I know it's in me, all about me
But my instinct won't let it out
Hey, mother sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm high
Sometimes I am really down
Hey, mother what's in your plans, what's in your game
What secrets can be found
Balance is my thing, the sun don't
Snow, wind and rain most times
Hey mother what do you mean, "Don't take it personal"
[Unverified]
Hey, mother am I to sit here when my brother is down
Yes, mother I can see it, I can hear it
But I don't know where it's coming from
Hey mother are you sure this is the time where we belong
Balance is my thing, the sun don't
Balance is my thing, the sun don't
Balance is my thing, the sun don't

I was strung out on Bach
And Beethoven was my thing
I dug jazz, I dug rock
Anything with a swing
But I ran into a friend
Who told me there was so much more
Find the void that you missed
There is plenty to explore
We want to take you, Cholly, when we go
(You wanna take me?)
We'd like to take you, Cholly, when we roll
(Well, if you'd play me just a little bit more)
But if we play you just a little more
(Maybe I will)
We'd love to take you, Cholly, when we go
You know right about that time
I started to analyze what they were trying to tell me
They said, "Come on, Cholly
We want to take you somewhere"
I didn't know where they was trying to take me
Next thing I know they were saying something like this
Funk, gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
Funk, gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
I would dance, I would sing
I would get lost in my dreams
I would fly but never too high
'Cause my funk deserted me
Now that the door is open wide
And all my funk just can't hide
With the syndrome left behind
No, my funk just can't hide
We like to take you, Cholly, when we go
We like to take you, Cholly, when we roll
(They promise they would play it one more time)
We'd like to take you, Cholly, when we go
You know it was in my head, it was in my feet
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
Funk gettin' ready to go
