What are you passionate about? Do you feel like Busting Loose? You can do it! Do your thing whatever it is. But the lyrics offer wise advice in its opening: "Keep what you got until you get what you need y'all." Bustin' loose effectively requires both wisdom and passion. Although, sometimes straight up busting loose from hindering restraints is also necessary. Whatever you do bust loose!
Busting Loose
Keep what you got
Until you get what
You need y'all
You got to give a lot
Just to get what
You need sometimes y'all
Gimme the bridge now
I feel like busting loose
Busting loose
Gimme the bridge now

Busting loose now
Busting loose in the evening
Busting loose can be pleasing
Talking bout busting loose
Busting loose in the meantime
Busting loose makes you feel fine
Talking bout busting loose

Busting loose to each his own
Talking bout busting loose y'all
Busting loose to my love jones
Busting loose to each his own
Gimme the bridge y'all
I feel like busting loose
Busting loose now

I needed this kind of anthem today. Lately, I ask myself often, "How do I reinvent myself?" I really don't know the answer yet. It will be fun to bust loose one of these days. Love the song and thanks so much for the lyrics. I liked singing along:)
Yes, Kelly, it is about re-inventing ourselves isn't it? It's about stepping out and taking risks, isn't it? What I would say most is follow your heart. What do you lost doing most? I know you are a mom and that's probably your number one job. But there are undoubtedly ways of busting loose in that role too.
My mother busted loose her entire life and she had 12 kids! She was always taking a class, writing poetry and songs, and involved in a myriad of church activities which required her time. She was a brilliant Sunday School teacher and over the Women's Department of our large church. We were our mom's life but she did not make us feel as if we were all she had. There is a difference, wouldn't you say?
Glad you loved singing along. So, do I. It's also very difficult not to pump it up and funk to it! :-)
Thanks, Judith. You made me laugh and do a little chair dancing to boot. LOL! Gotta love it. You GO, girl!! Blessings!!!
Judith,
Thanks for my next New Hire Class First Payday Friday afternoon 4:00pm shake it cause the week is almost done dance song...a little "go-go" funk classic to get ready for the week-end! Johnnie Kemp was getting little old for sure..
You're the best Auntie J!!!!
Marion - Oh, yeah! I have been "go-go" funking off and on all day in my office chair and have even gotten up and shaked this butt, girl! Of course, my office is at my home. :-) "Freak! Freak-a-deek!" Gotta love it, girl! "Hey, Leroy, give me some of that horn." Hell yeah! And what about those bongos? Ooooooh, yeah! "Baby, do your thing! Get get get get get, get on down!" Woooo!!!
Classic indeed, Dave! But Johnnie Kemp getting old? Do explain, please.
Judith,

His song "Just Got Paid"...been using it for a while. My class and I "bust loose" dancing whenever things start to drag. First payday Fridays always...usually a mid week Wednesday. Most of these folks aren't familar with music from the days when folks actually played instruments...Tower of Power, Miami Sound Machine, Thelma Houston, Four Tops are some favorites. It's part of my "Big Poppa" personna!
LOL, Dave! Got it! I knew the song. I was just trying to relate to the "old" descriptive. But, hey! I got it now for real. How cool is it to get the class rolling in such a way! I'd like to be a class participant. Waaay cool, Dave!
For the readers of this blog: It's funny that I just noticed that the poster of "Bustin Loose" includes my mom's cousin, Richard Pryor. LOL! That was a movie, eh? I missed that one. But as RP had such great timing and skill, I'll check it out. Have any of you seen the movie?
Judith,
I'm 55 by the calandar, look about 93, feel like I'm 529 trying to get moving everyday...but I'm about 22 in outlook and attitude. An open mind and listening can keep you young in spirit.
Beautiful, Dave! Although, you do not look 93! :-)
