Funkadelic - Phunklords Lyrics






We are the phunklords and we're coming to ya
Gonna hit you with a one and then
With our groove we'll move ya
Sent to you from eons away
Just to spread some funk your way
[x2]

Hey my friends, so happy to see you again
It's been a long time since we have grooved all as one
We've been strivin', stayin' just alive, stayin' just alive
We can't wait to get to your town, just to lay that funky rhythm down
'Cause we gonna bump, we gonna freak, we gonna give your feet a treat
Dancin' to a rockin' beat

Slippin' away from a ship of fools who had a captain that changed the rules
After seein' the world we lived in and what we could be givin'
Ooh we feel for you
Don't throw away your wisdom to those on the losin' side
Let their greed be their company in the shadows where they hide
Friends there are many, each one's not the same
Some are real and know the truth, to others it's just a game

We are the phunklords and we're coming to ya
Gonna hit you with a one and then
With our groove we'll move ya
Sent to you from eons away
Just to spread some funk your way

Slippin' away from a ship of fools who had a captain that changed the rules
After seein' the world we lived in and what we could be givin'
Ooh we feel for you
Don't throw away your wisdom to those on the losin' side
Let their greed be their company in the shadows where they hide
Friends there are many, each one's not the same
Some are real and know the truth, to others it's just a game

We are the phunklords and we're coming to ya
Gonna hit you with a one and then
With our groove we'll move ya
Sent to you from eons away
Just to spread some funk your way

We are descending unto you leaving a trail of truth behind us
Why don't you hop on this funk connection
So we can be a constant reminder
There's no time for writing in the book of yesterday
Love is forgiving, love is forgiving, love is forgiving
Love's shonuff forgivin', love is forgiving
(Wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Love is forgiving, it'll make your life worth living
Hey

We are the phunklords, we are the phunklords,
We are the phunklords,
We are the phunklords, we are the phunklords,
We are the phunklords,
We are the phunklords, we are the phunklords,
We are the phunklords

  7. N.... ....

    George said a brief piece about this album. He didnt endorse it but he said it wasnt good or bad. Pfunk fans do like it.

  8. N.... ....

    This edtion performed on soul train.

  9. M.... R....

    OH SNAP

  10. K.... ....

    By right they had more right to the name Parliament than Funkadelic, because it was only later after George released Parliament material on Cassablanca Records, that were billed as PARLIAMENT/FUNKADELIC
    OR SOMETIMES
    FUNKADELIC/PARLIAMENT

    HOWEVER ON ALBUM LINER NOTES I ALWAYS
    SAW A PARLIAFUNKADELIAMENT
    THANG !!

  11. K.... ....

    Don Johnson Nashir & Eggy They Original members of Parliament, not Funkadelic!!

    Funkadelic was a five piece BACKUP BAND TO Parliament or
    The Parliaments@ first!!

  12. C.... E....

    not bad but not the best either I can understand their anger hell.ill get mad if you didnt pay me either but the album still sounds like a regular funk album Pedro bell said this was better than electric spanking pedro was pissed cause kiss wanted him to do artwork for then by George fucked up Pedro's deal

  13. N.... ....

    the beat and sample in part of Eric b and rakims I know you got soul is on this album

    Ronnie yooo

  18. s.... ....

    I saw them at ziggys in Winston Salem N.C. back in day ,they had stingRay Davis with them and they tore the roof off the sucker




  19. d.... j....

    I think this album was made during the Funkadelic split.... Who's a Funkadelic? is a 1992 CD re-release of the 1981 album recorded by original Parliament members Fuzzy Haskins, Calvin Simon, and Grady Thomas, who left the P-Funk fold in the late '70s and later recorded Connections & Disconnections with no help from George Clinton. Though the trio spends most of the album criticizing Clinton's shifty business practices (which may be quite valid), the only thing that comes through is how much they need his production expertise. Never quite terrible, Connections & Disconnections makes small claims at mediocrity on scattered tracks.

    d.... j....

    great piece of information

    d.... j....

    Just a side note: This album was produced by Sly Stone's ex-drummer Greg Errico.

    d.... j....

    don johnson I ain't gonna say it's mediocre though. Maybe by societies standards, but these are some of the realest songs out there. Plunklords and you'll like it too are 2 songs that I think speak more truth than most of what George Clinton was putting out. It's just that this type of music is a little more like church music and isn't what the clubs were lookin to play. But this music really demonstrates the beneficial aspects of funk that I think George Clinton wasn't as much about

  20. B.... P....

    Fuzzy Haskins @ the helm.

  21. L.... J....

    This album was a sleeper....Funk was transitioning with this one...vocals were on point...guitar funky and rocking as usual..my goodness......ON THE ONE!..you could hear it....feel it too......oh..lo!l..okay...getting ahead of myself..:)  a shame it did not catch on like the rest of the "Funkadelic'... connections & disconnections?....the bomb! 

    L.... J....

    Linda Jacobs

    L.... J....

    I have it!

    L.... J....

    Linda Jacobs You speak the truth, friend. The irony of seemingly perfect songs that weren’t huge. It is nice though to be at a party and pull up some heaters that nobody’s heard!

  22. G.... L....

    This was my first CD when I was 12 years old! Great!!! Thanks for uploading!!!

    G.... L....

    Thats nice to hear. I as well had the cd. I can imagine my age vs yours. I didnt know about it til 90s. What i found it had eric b and rakim sample. For i know you got soul intro. I found the original vinyl album 20 years ago. Im 45 now. But people knew the record was out.

  23. S.... T....

    It is easy to blame greed except it is never directed in the right direction. Greed for drugs is what led to the demise of P-Funk. Grady, Fuzzy, Calvin and later Ray, decided they rather spend thousands on their bills and children. Others had other attitudes concerning HOW to spend the money and made sure they made more by writing songs that did not require the efforts of the members who left.

  24. g.... g....

    SHIP- as in Mothership; FOOLS- as in The Funk Mob. CAPTAIN- as in George Clinton. "After seeing the world we lived in/ and what we could be giving/ we feel for you." THE WORLD WE LIVED IN- Music, drug use, confusion. "Friends they are many/ each ones not the same."- Meaning the many members of Parliament-Funkadelic. "Some are real and know the truth"- Meaning the members who left. "To others it's just a game."- The ones who decided to stay,

  25. d.... b....

    I remember this album and it didn't include George Clinton! I bought it anyway and slowly I found out some of its members left the band. Politics,drugs,money,etc all got in the way of a supergroovalistic band. I hope either they got back together,one way or another. Good jam!

  26. l.... j....

    p-funk 4 eva.............jlove

  27. I.... T....

    True because they were the singers even with Glenn,but when they left George had to look to Gary ,Junie Morrison and a few others use.

  28. d.... ....

    great tune brilliant sleeve art work

  40. a.... ....

    @SDmaniac858 Who's A Funkadelic?

  41. f.... ....

    what album is this from?

  42. F.... G....

    Great song!

  43. g.... p....

    spreadin' funk is better than spreadin war

  44. R.... S....

    @regvision you might be right! i like the funklords

  45. t.... f....

    DAMN! I have'nt heard this in years!

  46. u.... ....

    GOOD GOLLY. Those funky ass breakdowns at 1:50 and 3:15 are the things of legend.

  47. S.... S....

    OK, I admit it. I had to grab the ax and jam along. YEP!

  48. b.... ....

    @networkingtoo I'm a big (HUGE!) p-funk fan, must have at least 40 p-funk lp's. And I nonetheless think 'The Electric Spanking of War Babies' is an excellent album. Funk gets stronger (both versions), Electro-cuties, the title track, that whole album is rocking. Only shame is they had to censor the original cover art, which is much better than the shambles found on the front of the album. Maybe not as good as 'One Nation Under A Groove', but then again, what is?

  49. r.... ....

    THEY SHOULD HAVE NAMED THEMSELVES THE FUNKLORDS (INSTEAD OF FUNKADELIC) THEN THEY WOULDA HAD A BIT MORE RESPECT AND ACCEPTANCE IN THE INDUSTRY

  50. b.... ....

    HEY DOES ANYONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPEN TO THE SONG ON THIS ALBUM CALLED (COME BACK) ... I CANT SAME TO FIND IT ON WHERE ..... WHAT HAPPEN I REALLY LIKE THAT SONG??????????????

  51. i.... ....

    yeah ...las funk assssssss..........

  52. L.... V....

    @friendofthefunk no matter what the group is not complete with all of its band members. just throwing that out there.

  53. b.... ....

    YOU I HAD THIS BACK IN THE 80'S OK IT WAS'NT BEST BUT TOO ME IT'S FUNKADELIC LIKE COME BACK AND PHUNKLORDS THERE MAYBE ONE OR TWO MORE?

  54. m.... ....

    @friendofthefunk hahahaha...your analogies are FU-nny! :)

  55. m.... ....

    @reggie6363 hahaha....."relatives who stays in your house and they leave they take some shit that you don't need."

  56. r.... s....

    this album was okay not the best anti p funk album but it'll do on some cuts I can't tell if they're dissing clinton or saying we miss you anyway it sounds like they robbed clinton's stash of unreleased songs, and hooks it's like some relatives who stays in your house and they leave they take some shit that you don't need. anyway clinton said ya'll can have that shit I got some stuff that sound better.

  57. R.... ....

    Ahh, love it!

  58. J.... R....

    Yes this is funk baby yo ho!!Thank You!!!
