Talking 'bout me leaving America You gotta be crazy, man, I like All the nice thing, Jack Colonial suits and things, look at here Now I am sorry for the man Who don't love this land Now black and white, they may fight But when up the enemy come We'll get together and run about all side I love it The sun don't come out in rainy weather But when you ball it down they are still together Now let's not overlook the fact that we are, we are still in reach You got to chance to make it and you got a freedom of speech Say what you wanna, tell 'em how you feel There may be a lot of places, a lot of places that you like to go But believe me if you get an education you can blow You can all it blow, dig this Now you tell me if I'm wrong America is still the best country And that's without a doubt America is still the best country Without a doubt And if anybody says it ain't, you can try to put him out They ain't going nowhere, you got a good fight When I tell you one time that I was a shoeshine boy Every word I said, I meant But name me any other country You can start out as a shoeshine boy And shake hand with the president It ain't gonna help you gotta had that royal blood to make it And I ain't got nothing royal but me So I can take the chances, I'm gonna stay home And look at here I got a brand new jet When I need to move I saw a brother made it Now it ain't that a rule So look at here Brothers and sisters and friends, dig this So quit your dreaming all night Stop beatin' yourself and get up and fight Don't give up, you might give up, but just don't give out I know if you give out don't give up There's no quick going, I mean like keep it moving you know Cause if you stop like a ball quit rolling Now we got tools that carry us from Florida to Rome Which we know there's one thing we'll never forget America's still our home, hit it bad God bless America, I'm talking about me too You know I'm American myself, I like that kind of thing, look at here

[@kevinballenger1211]

This Was A Big Hit For Him! The Weirdest Part Was, It Didn't Appear On ANY Of His Albums! 😮

[@rmiller5120]

It's on two of his compilation albums...The 1999 Album "Classic James Brown: The Universal Masters Collection" And The 2008 Album "The Singles Vol. 5: 1967-1969"📀

[@kevinballenger1211]

​@@rmiller5120But I'm Talking About His Studio Albums! It's Not On Any Of Them!

[@geezerbill]

Speaking of weird, why is your device capitalizing the first letter of every word?

[@kevinballenger1211]

@geezerbill Get A Life! 😡

[@todmatthew8816]

[@sl5932]

[@jordanjumpshot154]

You don't get it fool! But you entitled to be. Try a book sometime.

[@sl5932]

​@@jordanjumpshot154No, you don't get it. Read his biography, like I did.

Continental suits an Thang

[@anthonysmith8210]

He made this song way before he made living in america

[@rmiller5120]

Recorded in 1967 but was a pre-release to "Say It Loud" in 1968📀

[@abitupthehudson]

This is the best. When I reincarnate I will reserve a seat in the front row to enjoy this brother. I am just saying. I still remember when the Flames introduced him as the eighth wonder of the world. "I Got The Feelin'" and Papa don't take no stuff.

[@edwinkirkland8856]

Hard to find hit

Long time Republican

[@ghanasoul]

Kinda easy to say America was great when you’re rich and famous. A poor black person that heard this, thought the song was bs. I don’t blame them. Even JB said he thought the song was premature when he put it out back at that time.

[@sl5932]

he was born dirt poor. He knew everything was in reach when created this song!!!! Poor blacks loved this song

[@Repunza]

You work hard, save and understand the value of the dollar. You can have anything your heart desires

[@georgeganyon9771]

OBAMA BLACK PRES.

[@abitupthehudson]

I was never rich and hardly famous, but I have never thought America wasn't great. I was born and raised in NY and I have traveled all over this beautiful world. Man, this country is still the best in the world.
