Hole In Your Soul (Feat. Bobby Rush)

Hey, Billy, this is Bobby Richard, man
Let me tell you about them blues and where it come from
It's the mother of all music
If you don't love the blues, you probably don't love your mama

Now hip-hop and rap is the hottest thing
The world can't get enough
Now, we all know Beyoncé is the queen
She knows how to strut her stuff
You can talk about J. Lo and Taylor Swift
They really are on a roll
But what I'm 'bout to tell you, if you get my drift
If you don't love the blues, you got a hole in your soul

Now, I ain't no hater
It's all good to me
Everybody's got a thing
Your mind, your body, and your feet will agree
If you don't love the blues, you got a hole in your soul

Some associate jazz with class
They turn their noses down on the blues
Thinking they are so sophisticated, but they don't really have a clue
You see, the blues and jazz are closely related
That's what the world should know
I said it before, I'm gonna say it again
If you don't love the blues, you got a hole in your soul

Ella, Duke, and Count could really swing
Miles and Satchmo blew their horns
If Billy was alive, you would hear her sing
If you don't love the blues, you got a hole in your soul

Let me hear you blow, Bobby

Now, Tee Tot taught Hank Williams, if you haven't heard the news
The father of country music
Learned from a black man who played the blues
Little Walter, Otis Rush, and Muddy, they all led the pack
BB, Bobby Rush, and Buddy, they kept the blues right on track

We'll show you this, mate
Koko Taylor, pitched a Wang Dang Doodle
Mavis Staples will take you there
Kingfish is young and ready to go
If you don't love the blues, you got a hole in your soul
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(If you don't love the blues) you got a hole in your soul
(You got a hole in your soul)
If you don't love the blues (if you don't love the blues)
You got a hole in your soul (you got a hole in your soul)
If you don't love the blues (if you don't love the blues)
You got a hole in your soul (you got a hole in your soul)
If you don't love the blues (if you don't love the blues)
You got a hole in your soul
