lyrics

LIGHT IT UP (Jason Mitchell/Eric Mobley)

VERSE 1

It took a hundred years to get here

Might need a hundred more this way

It’s gonna take a revolution

To clear out all the hurt and pain

VERSE 2

Setting people free is easy

When you don’t remove the chains

We can groove together

If we only see what’s plain

CHORUS

We got to light it up – light it up
We got to light it up

VERSE 3

Some of us can never be free

As long as there’s a price to pay

Some are putting off tomorrow

By holding on to yesterday

CHORUS

We got to light it up – light it up
We got to light it up

OUTRO

We can, we can, we can party together
Let's get this party started

about

Calumet Phoenix, Arizona

Calumet was formed in 2001 by Eric Mobley and Jason Mitchell out of their love for classic funk and soul. Their first album, Retro Energy (2002), staked out a unique sound, and the band was a presence in Phoenix for years, playing shows with Kool & the Gang, Al Green, & George Benson. After a 9 year break, Calumet has been reborn and is once again bringing the funk to Arizona and beyond. ... more
