Bootsy Collins – Rock Bandit lyrics

Swippy swippy swerm, baby, don't mess up my perm
Do you wanna ride?
Yeah, baby
Now just do that, uh
Hand glide
Hand glide, baby

I think I should be the one
To tell you you're not havin' fun
'Cause we're changing the game
Bandfuse is what I do
So, what about you?

Rock bandit, I'm gonna steal it
Me, myself, and my guitar
Rock bandit, I'm gonna free ya
And someday I will be a star

I think I should be the one
To tell you you're not havin' fun
'Cause we're changing the game
From Beethoven to Rachmaninoff
The bottom on up to the top
The game done change, but we're not gonna stop

Rock bandit, I'm gonna steal it
Me, myself, and my guitar
Rock bandit, I'm gonna free ya
And someday I will be a star

Shum on down, shiggy on up
Shass the vibe, wiggy the touch
Lick the water, drink this juice
Chocolate milk, it's good for you

Dance all night, feel the hand
From the man that always can
Keep you goin' on and on
Giving you life from the break of dawn

Uh! Jump in the back of the black lac n'
Head back to California to get scratch
Bet that six did the shows for show
The merciless Charlie Mack with a couple of flows

Sixty-four's drop top whips with beat
Forty-four's pop glock clips with heat
The list of flows, pick one you can defeat
And shiggy and wiggy, give it to 'em to eat, looking the freak

Charlie Mack givin' 'em heat forever to keep
Promises to praise the streets and braise the beef
You suckas don't want none of us
Blaze the chief, it's green for a hundred of us
You coming to bust

Loop up the strap like faux techs
Thinking meaning is love, sweat, pain, and s**
Claim my flesh, remain the best, but don't trip
I came correct, baby, no, shh

Rock bandit, I'm gonna steal it
Me, myself, and my guitar
Rock bandit, I'm gonna free ya
And someday I will be a star

Now play me some guitar, baby
I need some piano
I need a good beat with the drums, now
Girl, I need a little trumpet from you

Rock bandit, I'm gonna steal it
Me, myself, and my guitar
Rock bandit, I'm gonna free ya
And someday I will be a star
