[Spoken: James Brown] Feel good tonight I feel good because I believe that some young man or some young girl out there Will listen to me I've been lucky But most of all, I was dedicated to something I believe I believe that if a man, if a man will live as long as he can and die when he can't help himself, he will succeed I believe when a man has an undying determination That he can make it if he try So drugs got you down Let me tell you this other part Let me tell you this other part Let me tell you the power they possessed Power in the north, east, south, and west I bet I'll hip you to more things you can do The women that it turned around and the men that it slew In China, it stopped an army In France, it ran It's armin' in Turkey And believe me, they respect it in Tokyo and Japan It hooks whole countries and had them enslaved It take his honors and made them degrade It makes addicts go out and steal Take that which is not yours, go out and steal Make hungry dope friend miss a meal Now, anything that won't let a man eat, can't be too sweet To salaam, to salaam, peace be unto you, As-Salaam-Alaikum, brother To some, it's a solution - to others, it's a must It'll make their soul grow heavy with lust It'll make a man troubled It will make a man in trouble rat on his friend There's a reckless few, you understand me?
