lyrics

Afrofuturism (written by Michael Wimberly – remix by Mike Meurin) 7:17

We’re moving through space / We’re moving through space / We’re moving through space We’re moving through time
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind We’re moving through time Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind
Universal Groove Everybody Move
Get out on the dance floor chase away your blues
Turn to your honey Turn to your g
Tell’em that you luv’em Tell’em that you see
A Universal Groove flowin’ through their mind
The rhythm is euphoric The rhythm is divine
We’re in the universe The rhythm is unrehearsed
Check it out Check it out What’s the next verse

Afrofuturism, Afrofuturism, Afrofuturism
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind
We’re moving through time
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind
We’re moving through space
We’re moving through time
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind

You’re on the spaceship earth
And you’re outward bound
Destination unknown Destination unknown (Sun Ra)
You’re on the spaceship earth
And you’re outward bound
Destination unknown Destination unknown (Sun Ra)
And you haven’t met the captain of the spaceship yet
Where’s he at now... I just saw him... Sun Ra
And you haven’t met the captain of the spaceship yet
Get on board interplanetary...

It’s the power of love Afrofuturism
It’s the power of love Afrofuturism
It’s the power of love Afrofuturism
It’s the power of love Afrofuturism

(trumpet solo)
Africa, take me back, take me back to the rhythm of the drum (Africa) Moving through time Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind
Say we’re moving
We’re moving through space we’re moving through time
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind
We’re moving through space
We’re moving through time
Afrofuturism is the groove on my minde

Time and Space
Space and Time
Groove on my mind
Going through my mind It’s the power the power of love
We’re moving through time
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind
Gotta move... I see a universal groove
Groove on my mind
I see a universal groove
Time and Space
Space and Time
Groove on my mind Groove on. I see a universal groove
Ad lib...

Energy time maddafakkas! This is hard hitting free jazz for the revolution. Listening to this you could believe it might actually happen! Anyone who thinks Jazz is for old folks should give this a spin. It couldn’t be more contemporary to my ears. Crinklechips
