The Bar-Kays – Son Of Shaft lyrics

I'm the son of a bad...Shut your mouth!

Son of Shaft.
Wanna be like my daddy. (John Shaft)
Son of Shaft.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.

I was born and thrown in the street.
Had the problems of a man at the age of three.
My daddy was bad, I've been told.
So my family's name I must uphold.
I love by the clock and live by the gun.
If you ever met the father, then you met the son, yeah.

Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Check now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, oh, oh, oh, yeah.
(I'm the Son of Shaft.)
Now you can believe that. (Then trust me.)

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
(Son of Shaft. Dang!)
Wanna be like my daddy. I'm his son.
