STEP BY STEP Songtext
von Jordan Mackampa

I′m on my James Brown, James Brown
I'm on my James Brown, James Brown
Make it funky now, make it, make it-, uh

Let me introduce the drums, keep the rhythm nice and funky
Just to have a little fun, ′cause you know we got the kicks
And then we add the snare
Then we add the hi-hats, just to give a little flare (oh yeah)
Well, we should justify the groove then
Maybe add a little bass to get the people movin'
Keep it nice and easy, never sleazy, always tasty, super crispy
Like your grandma in the kitchen making mac with mozzarella cheese

I'ma take you through step by step
Keep it simple when you′re following the music
And then we′re taking it left, right, left
And I'm showing everybody how to do this
And we′re gonna get it right one time


We got the structure of the beat, throw some funky guitars
That'll make you move your feet, bop your head to the side
Throw your ass to the sky
Keep the groove in the pocket, ′cause these lessons ain't free, nah mean?
I guess it′s time for the melody
Gospel chords on the keys? Uh, heavenly
It's like I'm in church on a Sunday, sinning on a Monday
This beat′s going hard like a felony, Good God

I′ma take you through step by step
Keep it simple when you're following the music
And then we′re taking it left, right, left
And I'm showing everybody how to do this
And we′re gonna get it right one time

I'ma take you through step by step
Keep it simple when you′re following the music
(Keep it simple, keep it, keep it simple)
And then we're taking it left, right, left
And I'm showing everybody how to do this
And we′re gonna get it right one time

On my James Brown, James Brown
On my James Brown, keep it funky
On my James Brown, James Brown
Keep it funky on ′em, hey


Now we got the pieces, we should put 'em all together
Grab a drink, it′s a party, nice to meet you, it's a pleasure
But these last couple minutes, I′ma need your ass to listen
This the most important part, so you can see the vision, uh
So make sure that you're following the steps
And keep it tight from the right to the left
And tell a friend to tell a friend
′Cause when it's over, we gon' do it all again and again and again and again

I′ma take you through step by step
Keep it simple when you′re following the music
(Keep it simple, baby, oh no)
And then we're taking it left, right, left
And I′m showing everybody how to do this
And we're gonna get it right one time

I′ma take you through step by step
Keep it simple when you're following the music
(Get the rhythm bussin′ for me, keep it, keep it)
And then we're taking it left, right, left
And I'm showing everybody how to do this
And we′re gonna get it right one time

Step by step (see, we′re takin' it step by step, yeah)
Left, right, left (that make you move it left, right, left)
Step by step (keep on takin′ it step by step)
Left, right, left (oh, step by step)
Step by step

Don't move too much, don′t move too much
