Funkadelic - Cosmic Slop Lyrics






Ah hear my mother call
Ah hear my mother call

I was one of five born to my mother
An older sister and three young brothers
We seen it hard
We seen it kinda rough
But always with a smile
She was sure to try to hide
The fact from us that life was really tough
I can hear my mother call
I can hear my mother call
And at night I hear her call
All the night I hear her call
"Father, Father it's for the kids
Any and everything I did.
Please please don't judge me too strong.
Lord knows I meant no wrong...
Lord knows I meant no wrong."

Then the devil sang:
Would you like to dance with me?
We're doing the cosmic slop.
Would you like to dance with me?
We're doing the cosmic slop.
Would you like to dance with me?
We're doing the cosmic slop.

She was well known through the ghettos
Tricks would come and then they go
The neighbors would talk and call her Jezebel
But always with a smile
She was sure to try to hide
The fact from us that she was catching hell
Hey

Hear my mother call
I can hear my mother call
Late at night I hear her call
To the lord I hear her call
She says "Father, Father it's for the kids
Any and everything I did.
Please please don't judge me too strong.
Lord knows I meant no wrong..."
Lord

Oh ooh oh hear my mother call
Oh ooh oh hear my mother call
She said "Father, Father it's for the kids
Any and everything I did.
Please don't judge me too strong"
Hear my mother call
Hear my mother call
Hear my mother call
I can hear my mother call
Hey
I can hear my mother call
I can hear my mother call
Hey
Oh yeah all right yeah I hear her man
Hey hey hey hey heeeey
Hear my mother call
I can hear my mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
Hear my mother call
I can hear my mother call
I can hear my mother call
Late at night
Late at night
I hear her
Call on the Lord
Mother
I can hear my mother call
Hear that brother calling me
Ah hey
Mother mama mama mother
I hear my mother
Hear my mother call
Hear my mother call
Hear my mother call
I can hear my mother call
I hear my mother call
Yeah

    Styl Stylistics but you don't stop on the rain tonight

    J.... H....

    Pe Stylistics people make the world go round

  37. T.... O....

    The only reason this song wasn’t a top ten or number one hit was because of the subject matter.

    Funkadelic was too funky for the world. MAKE MY FUNK THE P FUNK!

  38. h.... ....

    My mother went home in 2011, but I can still her call.

  39. R.... ....

    This song is almost too much for the mind. Every time I hear this song I appreciate it more. Just genius. Whoever says Bach, Beethoven, Chopin or any of those guys were greater musical geniuses than George Clinton is either stupid, biased, tasteless, or doing more drugs than the entire P-Funk mob.

  40. V.... B....

    What was I Doin? When my Mother called. I was Freeing my mind. And lettin my Asses Follow😁😳

  41. d.... f....

    This reminds me of early Funkadelic when they were on Westbound.

  42. P.... W....

    Rise In Power, mama, Mrs. Lona Mae Porter!!!!! I love you so much forever!!!!

  43. T.... C....

    "Father, it's for the kids."


    So glad I have one of those moms.
    She did it to make sure I lived.
    It is so hard to try and thank her, because she don't wanna remember it.

    T.... C....

    Gospel funk !!

  44. D.... M....

    I personally like the original rather than the later ,the guitar work was carefully detailed and technical even the bass ,2nd& 3rd guitars were in sync & Garry's vocals before his voice was shot could rival any falsetto (can't stand the strain) this is Gary &Ron's best work on guitars

    D.... M....

    Totally agree! Ron and Garry were on fire here, and of course the intro was second to none.

  45. d.... d....

    L energie du Rock et du Funk dans un cocktail explosif. Killer cut

  46. R.... J....

    Forever loved one of the greatest group of my time

  47. c.... e....

    I heard ron bykowski passed in 2014

  48. J.... D....

    Denzel Washington brought me here.

  49. R.... J....

    In there interplanetary days CAN'T TOUCH THIS P-FUNK BABY 😎 😎❤️ RELAX

  50. H.... T....

    Excellent axe play by Eddie Hazel one of the best axe men of all time 🤘💀♒👁

    H.... T....

    Eddie did not play on guitar on this album. It was Ron Bykowski (lead) Garry (Rhythm) here. Sorry!

  51. J.... M....

    Garry sang and played this mother sail on Mr.Shider👍🏿

  52. D.... B....

    The saddest, funkiest song ever.

  53. S.... K....

    haha, the shoe shining scene in the Deuce has this song in the background!

  54. d.... a....

    The Cosby Show brought me here lol - Vanessa
    & Robert listening to this on the radio

  55. P.... B....

    The words are deep

  56. A.... A....

    Eargasm

  57. M.... W....

    Truly blessed to have heard this masterpiece 👊👊💯

  58. P.... ....

    Father forgive us sinners...

  59. R.... C....

    Does anyone remember when this was playing in the kitchen on the Cosby Show while Vanessa and Robert were studying?? This is how I found out about this song #80sbaby

  60. r.... b....

    A Song, for my Grandmother, Gram. 🤩🎸🔥😎👵

  61. M.... J....

    sad and funky..childhood memories..

  62. C.... J....

    ICE CUBE Made me look for this.

  63. R.... J....

    Oh LAWDY!! P-FUNK BABY

  64. G.... S....

    hurts so good
    every click

  65. R.... ....

    Already a masterpiece, and these guys (and gals) even performed it better live. With all of this musical complexity how is that possible? Greatest band of all time and Earth Wind and Fire is second, but not a close second. Doesn't matter what anybody says.

  66. w.... m....

    Fuck i miss being 18 and getting toasted to this.

  67. K.... K....

    Darkest childhood memories.

  68. R.... B....

    The baddest funk band ever. The true Masters of the funk

  69. F.... C....

    Just an incredible piece of art!

  70. t.... ....

    This is music

    t.... ....

    Sounds like curtis Mayfield

  71. M.... D....

    This song always make me cry...I can hear my mother call.
    LOVE YOU Moma

  72. D.... ....

    "The Deuce" brought me here.

  73. L.... E....

    The Deuce

  74. A.... L....

  75. 1.... ....

    Baseline is ferocious

  76. L.... P....

    We’re doing the cosmic slop, I’m here because of the movie Roman J. Israel

  77. J.... C....

    This is one of the out standing song that heard in the day.That why it always good to Liston to the word you get the picture he'll of a song Johnnie 😎 from LosAngles and Pittsburgh Comic met Slop

  78. M.... W....

    Badass song. Too cold. I can hear my mother call.

  79. M.... W....

    Thats the first time i heard this. Or maybe its the first time i really listened. Hmm

  80. A.... A....

    ( ))========THUMP=======D

  81. D.... B....

    The most heartbraking and simultaneously funky song ever. You cannot top this.

  82. H.... M....

    Best Soul Rock group ever..George Clinton, Buddy Miles, Jimi Hendrix, Mandrill, Osibisa, War, and yes James Brown had the students ear at most campuses Back in the Day.

  83. B.... S....

    I always found it interesting that they used/bought the rights to use this song on the Cosby Show Season 2 Episode 19 "Full House"
    Vanessa and her boyfriend Robert were listening to it in the kitchen while doing homework together.
    Then later in the living room Denise and her Reggae guy friend are 'watching/singing' along to 'Sponji Reggae' by Black Uhuru.

    B.... S....

    Cosmic Slop and Sponji Reggae? Two of my favorites songs......lol love it

  84. B.... S....

    Greatest. Funk. Song. EVER.

  85. B.... S....

    sounds like Diamond in the back. great song

  86. R.... A....

    MY FAVORITE FROM FUNKADELIC

  87. h.... ....

    Gospel for the Ghetto. Both achingly beautiful, and terrifying at the same time, and perhaps George and Bernie's single greatest track.

  88. C.... B....

    TRUE STORY.

  89. A.... S....

    F U N K Y

  90. A.... M....

    shaolin shuffle baby

  91. G.... S....

    Isso que é funk,porra.

  92. A.... S....

    Timeless Funk!!!!!

  93. k.... ....

    I feel safer here.

  94. B.... H....

    Free your mind your assess will foll
    Low. Now

  95. c.... j....

    She said:  "Father, Father its for the kids, any and everything I did, please, please don't judge me too strong! Lord knows I meant no wrong. LORD KNOWS I MEANT NO WRONG." Then in comes the Devil with his" Would you like to dance with me, we're doing the Cosmic Slop." That's just like him to come right behind you right after you get off your knees praying.

  96. S.... R....

    To show how pro black Bill Cosby is he highlighted this song on the Cosby Show and people unawared let it slip by unnoticed.

  97. b.... k....

    awesome

  98. h.... ....

    At the same time, one of the most beautiful and scariest songs ever written, and one of the definitive moments in the history of funk.
