lyrics

C'mon fellas

Here’s a little story ‘bout Black Cloud Joe (JOE)
Bad luck and misfortune followed wherever he would go (JOE)
Always on the good side, but always called the thug (JOE)
I don’t know what to say man, you’re just shit out of luck (OH NO)

Black Cloud Joe
Change is bound to come your way
It might rain all the time
The sun is bound to shine some day

Chillin' with his people, and scratching wax by night (YO)
He was always 'round when there was no cause to fight (YO)
One day Joe was striper fishing, his peace disturbed by the man (YO)
Who slapped him with a fine and threw his striper’s ass in the van (AW MAN)

Black Cloud Joe
Change is bound to come your way
It might rain all the time
The sun is bound to shine some day


But oh Joe (OH JOE), Oh Joe (OH JOE)
With his hands full of fury but a heart so full of love Said oh Joe (OH JOE), Oh Joe (OH JOE)
He saved our Reverend Funkalato from the fires from above!

Can I get an amen? (AMEN) Amen! (WOOOO)

C'mon Funk McNasty, don't fight the feeling!

One day the smoke raged out of Funkalato’s home
Nobody heard from the good Reverend, he was fast asleep alone
Joe kicked down the door despite the blazing fire
Though everyone thought for certain the good Reverend had expired

Black Cloud Joe, he saved the Reverend’s life that day!

Turns out that same week he had to go to court
It slipped his mind, some family crises of sorts
Six months then bam his truck crashed, now ain’t life a bitch
They slapped him up for warrants for that big striper fish

Black Cloud Joe
Things are bound to come your way
It might rain all the time
The sun is bound to shine some day
