Intro

[D] [Bm7]

Whoo

[D]

Uh, uh, uh

Come on, yeah

[D]

All the pretty ladies just clap your hands

[Bm7]

Clap your hands, clap your hands

[D]

All the pretty ladies just clap your hands

Verse 1

[D]

I just got some news today

[Bm7]

Everything I wished for came my way

[D]

Love and peace and big money

[Bm7]

More new members in the family

[D]

Haters finally dropped their guns

[Bm7]

Wasn't loaded anyway, scared no one

[D]

Went from ten bodyguards to none

If they don't read, then posse no fun

[D]

But here come Calibama talkin' mo' stuff

[Bm7]

Guess a hundred million records ain't enough

[D]

All-Stars arе comin' from the first to last

Anybody don't can

[D]

Stay quiet while I bring thе noise

[Bm7]

We just got some brand new toys

[D]

If y'all ready just show me love

Watch Calibama get bugged

Chorus

[D] [Bm7]

Uh, all the pretty ladies just clap your hands

[D]

All the funky brothers dance to my band

[D] [Bm7]

Ha, NPG cuttin' up your rug, uh

[D]

Uh, watch Calibama get bugged

Verse 2

[D]

Verbal coat in flattery

[Bm7]

Drum machine electricity

[D]

Every time I look I see

Another facsimile

[D]

Pick and drumstick not in hand

[Bm7]

See no music on the stand

[D]

Grab your partner, gather 'round

This is how we all get down

Chorus

[D]

Whoo

[Bm7]

All the pretty ladies just clap your hands

[D]

All the funky brothers dance to my band

[D] [Bm7]

NPG, NPG cuttin' up your rug

[D]

Uh, lawd

Watch Calibama get bugged, come on

[Post-Chorus]

[D] [Bm7]

Horns

[D]

Uh

[D]

Horns

[Bm7] [D]

Uh, uh

Verse 3

[Em] [E]

Uh, like a rim shot on a New Roots joint

My band's tight, yeah

[Em] [E]

Anointed, all natural

Pass my tape, go straight to jail

[Em] [E]

And another thing, when I sing

Black and white hold hands

Start clappin' when we enter the jam

[Em] [E]

Back dance if you wanna just clap your hands

Here we come, y'all, uh

[Em]

Prisoner Band, good God

Chorus

[Em]

All the pretty ladies just clap your hands

[Em]

All the funky brothers dance to my band

[Em]

Uh, New Power G, yeah, we got a new drug

[Em]

Here we come, y'all, Prisoner Band

[Em]

Look out

Verse 4

[Em] [E]

Happy 'cause we just got paid

Free from all contracts

[Em]

Chillin' in the shade of the sun's light

[E]

Oh, we got it right

Distribute your own, make a mil' overnight

[Em] [E]

Before the tax come, quick buy some land

Don't build nothin', just clap your hands

[Em] [E]

Don't build nothin', just clap your hands

Here we come, y'all, uh

[Em]

Prisoner Band

Ha, Prisoner Band

[Em]

Oh, hear me now

Verse 5

[Em]

Record labels used to be a friend of mine

[F#m]

Now they're just a monumental waste of time

[Em]

Sell a million records, make a dollar a pop

[F#m]

You're still on recruit when your band get dropped

[Em]

Got your own label but you're givin' 'em half

[F#m]

Expenses off the top, who's takin' a bath?

[Em]

Seven years of grind like it's only your name

Is what you pay to keep yourself a slave to that game

Outro

[A]

And what you can't do alone is not worth the fame

[G#m]

All of y'all get older but I still look the same

[C#m]

Too funky, y'all can't understand

[C#m]

Just clap your hands, just clap your hands

[C#m]

Uh, the Prisoner Band
