James Brown - “Mind Power” - The Payback. This is, without question, the best and longest monologue by JB in his catalog. There is barely any singing, just effortless stream of consciousness.

“If you don’t work, you can’t eat.”

Seriously, who else can even get away singing about the connection between self-esteem and job or how mind power can combat starvation and make it authentic? Genius.
