I’m Diggin’ You (Like an Old Soul Record)
[Intro]
Sit back, relax, and listen to the 8-track
Dig it like an old soul record

[Chorus]
Yes, I'm diggin' you
I dig you like an old soul record, baby
Sit back, relax, and listen to the 8-track
I'll dig you like an old soul record

[Verse 1]
Remember back in the day
When everyone was black and conscious
And down for the struggle
Love brought us all together
Just sittin' back and talkin'
Cultivating a positive vibe
Blue Lights in the Basement
Freedom was at hand and you could just taste it
It was so cool
Diggin' on me diggin' on you
Everything was cool
The brothers were singing
'Ain't no woman like the one I got'

[Chorus]
Yes, I'm diggin' you
I dig you like an old soul record
Just dit back, relax, and listen to the 8-track
And dig it like an old soul record
[Bridge]
Now brothers (be) basin'
Running from the beat-down cops that be chasin'
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of patience
In this war of the conscious mind
I need some black-on-black love
A slow grind for these changin' times

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Yes, I'm diggin' you
(Yes, I'm diggin' you)
I dig you like an old soul record

[Verse 2]
Beautiful brown bodies
Pimp, switch and sway
To the soulful sounds
Gotta get up gotta get down
'Cause you give me good feeling
You give me good feeling
Yes you do
Yes you do
[Chorus]
Yes, I'm diggin' you
I dig you like an old soul record
Yes, I'm diggin' you
I dig you like an old soul record
Just sit back, relax, and listen to the 8-track
And dig it like an old soul record
Just sit back, relax, and listen to the 8-track
And dig it like an old soul record
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
Yes, I'm diggin' you
I dig you like an old soul record
Yes, I'm diggin' you
I dig you like an old soul record
Just sit back, relax, and listen to the 8-track
And dig it like an old soul record
Just sit back, relax, and listen to the 8-track
And dig it like an old soul record
Yes, I'm diggin' you
I dig you like an old soul record
Yes, I'm diggin' you
I dig you like an old soul record
