I woke up to the morning sky, first
Baby blue, just like we rehearsed
When I get up off this ground, I shake leaves back down
To the brown, brown, brown, brown
'Til I'm clean

Then I walk where I'd be shaded by the trees
By a meadow of green
For about a mile
I'm headed to town, town, town
In style

With all my favorite colors, yes, sir
All my favorite colors, right on
My sisters and my brothers
See 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

It's a good day (To be)
A good day for me (A good day for me)
A good day to see (A good day to see)
My favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers (My sisters and my brothers)
They see 'em like no other (See 'em like no other)
All my favorite colors

Now take me to other side
Little bitty blues bird flies
And gray clouds, or white walls, or blue skies
We gon' fly, feel alright

And we gon'
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Yeah
It sound like
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Yeah
The least I can say, I anticipate
A homecoming parade as we renegade
In the morning, right on

With all my favorite colors (All my favorite colors) yes, sir
All my favorite colors (All my favorite colors) yes, ma'am
My sisters and my brothers (My sisters and my brothers)
See 'em like no other (See 'em like no other)
All my favorite colors (All my favorite colors)

All my favorite colors (All my favorite colors)
Right
All my favorite colors (All my favorite colors) yes, ma'am
My sisters and my brothers (My sisters and my brothers)
See 'em like no other (See 'em like no other)
All my favorite colors (All my favorite colors)

It's a good day to be (A good day to be)
A good day for me (A good day for me)
A good day to see my favorite colors (A good day to see my favorite colors)
Colors
My sisters and my brothers
They see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

Yep, fantastic musicians. What a soulful vocal, bass & drums groove, the piano is sublime. I am not over this song at all. It's a classic and keeps growing on you.
Quite a unique sound!
I am so over this song.
Discovered this song on RP. Keeps getting better every single time I listen to it. Awesome!

Now play "October 33" from this album.  It would be another 7+ rating
Bumping up to a 10. 
Beautiful.
This guy sings like I will when I arrive in my next life.

This one grows on you, and then compells you back. I expect to see people return and upgrade those 7/8 -> 9/10 once its sunk in just how good this is.
Outstanding bass!
Great song and the horn remix with the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is even better!
Started at a 7, but I like it more each time I hear it.
Amazing segue from Booker T & the MG's Time is Tight. If I didn't know, I'd thought 100 times out of 100 that this tune was from the 70's...
This song sounds as if it was a long-time-ago. classic, 10/10
They remind me of several of the soul and R&B greats!

Sorry I missed them, friend.

Instant classic.
IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!
never heard of the Black Pumas before

Going with a 7 rating to start off
When you are the first to rate a song, no average is shown
THRILLED to have this on RP. i fell for this one back in 2019 and was hoping it would be added/uploaded. this band is so good.
