Letra

    Whoa
    Uh, uh, uh
    Come on, yeah
    All the pretty ladies, just clap your hands
    Clap your hands, clap your hands
    All the pretty ladies, just clap your hands

    I just got some news today
    Everything I wished for came my way
    Love and peace and big money
    More new members in the family
    Haters finally dropped their guns
    Wasn't loaded anyway, scared no one
    Went from ten bodyguards to none
    If they don't read, then posse no fun
    But here come Calibama talkin' mo' stuff
    Guess a hundred million records ain't enough
    All-Stars are comin' from the first to last
    Anybody don't can
    Stay quiet while I bring the noise
    We just got some brand new toys
    If y'all ready just show me love
    Watch Calibama get bugged

    Uh, all the pretty ladies, just clap your hands
    All the funky brothers dance to my band
    Ha, NPG cuttin' up your rug, uh
    Uh, watch Calibama get bugged

    Verbal coat in flattery
    Drum machine electricity
    Every time I look I see
    Another facsimile
    Pick and drumstick not in hand
    See, no music on the stand
    Grab your partner, gather 'round
    This is how we all get down

    Whoa
    All the pretty ladies, just clap your hands
    All the funky brothers dance to my band
    NPG, NPG cuttin' up your rug
    Uh, lawd
    Watch Calibama get bugged, come on

    Horns
    Uh
    Horns
    Uh, uh

    Uh, like a rim shot on a New Roots joint
    My band's tight, yeah
    Anointed, all-natural
    Pass my tape, go straight to jail
    And another thing, when I sing
    Black and white hold hands
    Start clappin' when we enter the jam
    Backdance if you wanna just clap your hands
    Here we come, y'all, uh
    Prisoner Band, good God

    All the pretty ladies, just clap your hands
    All the funky brothers dance to my band
    Uh, New Power G, yeah, we got a new drug
    Here we come, y'all, Prisoner Band
    Look out

    Happy 'cause we just got paid
    Free from all contracts
    Chillin' in the shade of the Sun's light
    Oh, we got it right
    Distribute your own, make a mil' overnight
    Before the tax come, quick buy some land
    Don't build nothin', just clap your hands
    Don't build nothin', just clap your hands
    Here we come, y'all, uh
    Prisoner Band
    Ha, Prisoner Band
    Oh, hear me now

    Record labels used to be a friend of mine
    Now they're just a monumental waste of time
    Sell a million records, make a dollar a pop
    You're still on recruit when your band get dropped
    Got your own label but you're givin' 'em half
    Expenses off the top, who's takin' a bath?
    Seven years of grind like it's only your name
    Is what you pay to keep yourself a slave to that game

    And what you can't do alone is not worth the fame
    All of y'all get older but I still look the same
    Too funky, y'all can't understand
    Just clap your hands, just clap your hands
    Uh, the Prisoner Band
