Bustin’ Out lyrics
by Rick James
[Intro]
Well, alright you squares, it's time you smoked
Fire up this funk and let's have a toke
It'll make you dance and some of everything
Everybody get high, sing
[Refrain]
Bustin' out
Bustin' out (Sing!)
Bustin' out
Bustin' out
Bustin' out
[Verse 1]
We're bustin' out of this L-7 square
Freaks like you and I could never funk from there
We're bustin' out, everybody come along
We're gon' dance on the funk and make love on the song (Bustin' out)
We're bustin' out and if everyone agrees
Put your hands in the air and sing along with me (Bustin' out)
[Chorus]
We're bustin' out on the funk, well (Bustin' out)
We're bustin' out on some serious funk, y'all (Bustin' out)
We're bustin' out on the funk (Bustin' out)
We're bustin' out on some serious funk, y'all (Bustin' out)
[Refrain]
Bustin' out (Ow, girl)
Bustin' out (Sing it again)
Bustin' out (Sing it, sing it, sing it, well)
Bustin' out (Let's sing this)
Bustin' out
[Verse 2]
We're bustin' out of this serious joint
It was too square for me, do you get my point?
We're bustin' out, now we're free from the square
We done braided our hair, we don't mind if you stare (Bustin' out)
We're bustin' out and we don't give a damn
If you don't like our funk, then take your stuff and scram (Bustin' out)
[Chorus]
We're bustin' out on the funk (Bustin' out)
We're bustin' out on some serious funk, y'all (Bustin' out)
We're bustin' out on the funk
Bustin' out
[Bridge]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Bustin' out)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(Do it, bustin' out)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Bustin' out)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La dee da, la dee da, la dee da da da
La da da da (Bustin' out)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(Bustin' out)
[Verse 3]
We're bustin out, we couldn't wait (We couldn't wait) (Bustin' out)
L-7 just a letter, too damn straight (Bustin' out)
Now that we're free to communicate
That we're all a little stoned and we freak when we're at home
And for me, I'm only free when I'm bustin' out (One more time) (Correct)
That we're all a little stoned and we freak when we're at home
And for me, I'm only free when I'm bustin' out (So take that)
(Bustin' out)
[Chorus]
We're bustin' out on the funk (Bustin' out)
We're bustin' out on some serious funk (Bustin' out)
We're bustin' out on the funk (Sing it, sing it) (Bustin' out)
We're bustin' out on some serious funk
[Bridge]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(We're bustin' out on some serious funk, y'all)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(We're bustin' out on some serious funk)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Chorus]
We're bustin' out on the funk (Ooh Lord, bustin' out)
We're bustin' out on some serious funk, child
We're bustin' out on the funk
We're bustin' out on some serious funk
We're bustin' out on the funk
We're bustin' out on some serious funk
We're bustin' out on the funk
We're bustin' out on some serious funk
[Outro]
Boom boom boom boom boom, boom, bustin' out
Boom boom boom boom boom, boom
