Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) Lyrics

Lookin at the devil
Grinnin' at his gun
Fingers start shakin'
I begin to run

Bullets start chasin'
I begin to stop
We begin to wrestle
I was on the top

I want to thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin

Stiff all in the collar
Fluffy in the face
Chit chat chatter tryin'
I say stuff me in the place

Thank you for the party
But I could never stay
Many thang on my mind
Words in the way

I want to thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin

Dance to the music
All night long
Everyday people
Sing a simple song

Mama's so happy
Mama starts to cry
Papa still singin'
You can make it if you try

I want to thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin

Flamin' eyes of people fear
Burnin' into you
Many men are missin' much
Hatin' what they do

Youth and truth are makin' love
Dig it for a starter
Dyin' young is hard to take
Sellin' out is harder

Thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin

Thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin

I want to thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin

I want to thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you
Falettinme be mice elf agin

Sly & the Family Stone were an important and influential band from Vallejo, California, United States. Active from 1966 until 1975, the band was pivotal in the development of soul, funk and psychedelia. Headed by singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, and containing several of his family members and friends, the band was the first major American rock band to have an integrated lineup in both race and gender.

Brothers Sly Stone and singer/guitarist Freddie Stone combined their bands (Sly & the Stoners and Freddie & the Stone Souls) at the end of 1966. Sly and Freddie Stone, trumpeter Cynthia Robinson, drummer Gregg Errico, saxophonist Jerry Martini, and bassist Larry Graham completed the original lineup; Sly and Freddie's sister, singer/keyboardist Rose Stone, joined within a year. This collective recorded five Top 10 hits and four groundbreaking albums, which greatly influenced the sound of American pop music, soul, R&B, funk, and hip hop music. In the preface of his 1998 book For the Record: Sly and the Family Stone: An Oral History, Joel Selvin sums up the importance of Sly & the Family Stone's influence on African American music by stating "there are two types of black music: black music before Sly Stone, and black music after Sly Stone". The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.
During the early 1970s, the band switched to a grittier funk sound, which was as influential on the music industry as their earlier work. The band began to fall apart during this period because of drug abuse and ego clashes; consequently, the fortunes and reliability of the band deteriorated, leading to its dissolution in 1975. Sly Stone continued to record albums and tour with a new rotating lineup under the "Sly & the Family Stone" name from 1975 to 1983. In 1987, Sly Stone was arrested and sentenced for cocaine use, after which he went into effective retirement.
