Cool cool name
From the concrete and the cold, where the sound began to rise
You laid down the foundation, beneath the neon skies
But before the funk was king, you chose the harder path
A deep belief in rhythm, escaping all the wrath
Ooh, bass king, from ronald to the cool, cool name you chose
Your pulse echoes for the soul, where the honest music flows
You taught the world that joy is a weapon when the darkness falls
Your legacy, it saves us, answering every circumstance!
I feel the bebop groove still hidden in the sound
From every quiet heart, to the consecrated ground
The family groove you built, it stands on solid stone
The master of the low end, the kingdom you have shown
The guitar starts to cry, the drums begin to roll
Taking your quiet fire, right into my soul
I lift my voice with honour, where the legends always stand
An embrace of recognition, from your baritone command!
Ooh, bass king, from ronald to the cool, cool name you chose
Your pulse echoes for the soul, where the honest music flows
You taught the world that joy is a weapon when the darkness falls
Your legacy, it saves us, answering every circumstance!
