[Verse] Sittin’ ’round the table, flashlight in my hand Talkin’ ‘bout the streets and the plans for our land Neighbors noddin’ steady, voices low and tight Till that bass dropped funky, changed the vibe tonight [Pre-Chorus] Suddenly the cold street talk begins to sway Feel the rhythm rising, can’t keep it at bay [Chorus] Get up, get down, feel the groove all around Neighborhood watch turned to a funky sound Clap your hands, move your feet, let the good vibes meet We’re protectin’ peace with a funky heartbeat [Verse] Eyes on the corner, but the music’s in control Shadows start to flicker, but the soul takes hold No more hush-hush whispers, just a joyful cry When the funk hits the block, you can’t deny [Pre-Chorus] From the quiet streets, now the party’s on display Watchers turn to dancers, night turns into day [Chorus] Get up, get down, feel the groove all around Neighborhood watch turned to a funky sound Clap your hands, move your feet, let the good vibes meet We’re protectin’ peace with a funky heartbeat [Bridge] Sidewalk lights low, but the spirits rise high This block’s alive under the disco sky No crime in the rhythm, no fear in this beat We’re united by funk, in every heart, every street [Chorus] Get up, get down, feel the groove all around Neighborhood watch turned to a funky sound Clap your hands, move your feet, let the good vibes meet We’re protectin’ peace with a funky heartbeat [Chorus] Get up, get down, feel the groove all around Neighborhood watch turned to a funky sound Clap your hands, move your feet, let the good vibes meet We’re protectin’ peace with a funky heartbeat [Outro] Yeah, watchin’ out, but we’re groovin’ too Safe and smooth, that’s the funky truth Neighborhood love in every beat we send Watchin’ and dancin’ till the night’s end
