Kid Capri - Apollo Lyrics
Id like to know.. are you really ready for some super dynamite soul?Then thank you, because now, its star time!The apollo (4x)[kid capri]The apollo a place, where performers performBefore you got on the stage you would all be warnedAbout if youre good enough, to rock the placeBut if you wasnt they would throw beer cans in your faceWell it was a, amateur night, a group dressed in whiteDidnt think it was spectacular but they were alrightKept sayin to myself, I wish it was meThat was on the stage doin my r-a-pWell uh, anyway we go back to the daysWhen james brown used to have, the crowd amazedHe used to come out, dancin, just doin his workAnd when he screamed, all the ladies went bezerkSlidin across the stage like he was runnin on oilShoes, shinin bright like aluminum foilWomen was fallin out, innocent to ?He said, please please then started rappinYou only seen one show you couldnt stay to see anotherOf the singin godfather number one soul brotherEvents like this happened all the timeAt the place that was known to be, one of a kindIts the apolloThe apollo (4x)[kid] its the apollo!The apollo (3x)The ap..[kid capri]The apollo yes a legend in its timeThe place is so fly that I wish it was mineI mean the line was so long but people did not careJust as long as they knew, they could get in thereOn wednesdays, amateur night was coolAnd you could, go to see what other artists could doNothin but black stars, risin to the topNow you see whats takin over, we call it hip-hopThe apollo, no other, could ever competeWhen you look down and I see people movin their feetWhen the stage used to rise all the people went nutsAnd no one ever kept their big mouth shutThey used to, scream and yell, raise a whole lot of hellHang off the balcony and sometimes they fellIts a tradition, so whatta ya do? I dont knowYou get a ticket take yourself to the apollo, heyThe showbiz cafe, was right next doorLeave, from the apollo and you party some moreYou can go many places to have a showBut no matter where you went you always seemed to goTo the apolloTo the apollo!Uhh..
