Music - Leela James

Somebody play on the guitar strings

Makes me think of my favorite songs

Reminds me of when I heard Aretha sing

Gladys, Tina, and Chaka Khan

Can’t go back to yesterday

But can we just put the thongs away

And fall back in love with music

Nothin' but the music

Oh

Everybody knows that Marvin’s gone

Still I gotta tell you what’s going on

Said the music gone

Where’d the soul go?

It’s all about the video

We don’t sing no more

Where’s the music gone?

Where’d the music go?

It’s all just for the dough

It ain’t soul no more

Where’s the music gone?

Still hear Donny playin' them keys

Singin' one day we’ll all be free

Can’t even turn on my radio

Somebody hollerin' bout a bitch or a ho

Right now I’m missing music

Black folks count on music
