James Brown - Watch Me Lyrics






Watch me, I'm ready and I'm on the roll, roll, roll...

Step back!
Give me a little room
'Cause I'm ready
To do what I gotta do
All night long, never gonna stop
When it's day, time to play
I let you see what's up

(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm on the roll)
Watch me! I'm ready, I'm on a roll
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm in control)
Watch me! I'm ready, I'm in control
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm on the roll)
Watch me! I'm ready, I'm on a roll
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm in control)
Watch me! I'm ready, I'm in control
Aah...

A little bit more
Is what you're looking for
But hold on a minute
Are you really sure
You can take
What I have to give?
Can you handle it, huh
Or is it just a bit

Ooh - too much?
(We don't think so)
Well, okay, if you say
Then a-ha, here we go!
You move it like this
Aah, you move it like that
And if you can't do this dance
This is what I gotta say...

(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm on the roll)
Watch me! I'm ready, I'm on a roll
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm in control)
Watch me! I'm ready, I'm in control
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm on the roll)
Watch me! I'm ready, I'm on a roll
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm in control)
Watch me! I'm ready, I'm in control

(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm on the roll)
Watch me! I'm ready, I'm on a roll
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm in control)
Watch me! I'm ready, I'm in control
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm on the roll)
Uh, hah, I'm on a roll, aah
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm in control)
Watch me! I'm, hey

Can ya, uh, haa, ow!
Can you move it like this, y'all?
Move on! Move on! Move it! Move it!
Can you move it like this, hah? Oow!
Can ya... yaaw!
Can you move it like this, y'all?
Aah, aah!
Everybody over there!

(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm on the roll)
(I'm on a roll)
Ow, watch me!
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm in control)
(I'm in control)
Watch me!
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm on the roll)
(I'm on a roll)
Watch me!
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm in control)
Watch me, I'm ready!
(I'm in control)
Aah, I'm on a roll, y'all
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm on the roll)
Everybody over there!
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm in control)
Everybody over there!
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm on the roll)
Can you move, move, move, move?
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm in control)
Aah, move it!
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm on the roll)
(I'm on a roll)
Watch me!
(Watch me, I'm ready and I'm in control)
(I'm in control) Ah, watch me!
(I'm on a roll) Watch me, aah...!
(I'm in control) I'm in control...!

  7. W.... 1....

    The myth James brown getting into a car chase with cops can imagine this playing as he's firing a gun at them as they chase him 😎👊

  8. i.... ....

    All the beats in the beginning of hip hop come from James brown and 60s and 70s soul music. Then you can backtrack that the soul music came from jazz in the 50s and 60s.

  9. i.... ....

    If there was no James Brown. There would be no hip hop. James is the impetus for hip hop.

  10. i.... ....

    Tell em TJ.

    Funkiest thing I’ve heard since the last time I listened to this. For anyone to hit thumbs down must be Justin Beiber with multiple accounts. It’s not possible to be a sensible human being and not appreciate what Mr. James Brown brought to the music industry. I give you a huge F.U. from me, millions of others and the King of Soul himself... such a wicked jam while he howls.

    Gday Elder
    Raised in the racist suburbs of NYC.in the 50's
    Called the N word everyday by neighbors and classmates
    My parents grandparents instilled pride
    But The Godfather and The Queen of music gave me so much Pride
    Say it loud what
    Mother made me stand on the rain 7 hours.to see The Godfather at the Apollo
    As a grown up saw him twice hot a chance to go backstage and have a couple of shots and smokes.
    Wow best day of my LIFE .
    Walked behind his coffin 125 street

    Smoking Joe Frasier( RIP) used to work out to James Brown . I’m doing it, definitely energy inducing and motivating RIP James

  93. m.... ....

    My favorite JB track (by a hair over Cold Sweat), and one of my favorite by any artist. JB was pretty much untouchable during this era. I was 11 when this hit. I'm 60 now. 49 years ago, man does time fly.

  94. D.... L....

    "Sometimes I want to SUBTERFUGE."

  95. J.... ....

    Who is listning at 1,25x?

  96. L.... F....

    I use this in my classroom to motivate the kids. We'll be using it all year long for as long as they like it. It was funny last week when I told them I was finished doing my part of a lesson (teaching) and now it was their turn to work independently while I watch. Those little second grade buggers ALL replied "Watch Meh! Watch Meh!" in their James Brown voice. It was unsolicited, spontaneous, and HILARIOUS! Now I refer to them as my "FUNKY SOUL BROTHERS AND SISTERS" of second grade. LOL James keeps everybody smiling and happy. LOVE ME SOME JAMES BROWN!!!!!!!

  97. K.... P....

    Pump Up the Volume

  98. R.... F....

    Robert McCulloch's alto solo is in a league with Albert Ayler. It is so "Super Bad".
