This is an interesting song to come through for the first day of Aries Season and Spring Equinox! “BUSTIN OUT” is the single from Rick James’ sophomore 1979 release, “Bustin out of the L 7 Square.” In the form of a channeled message, BUSTIN’ OUT can have soooo many meanings! Rick James was an aquarius man, and we are headed into the Aquarian age…makes sense. If you found this article, then there may be a few things you may need to BUST OUT of to go into your new beginning. The L-7 square (mentioned in the lyric) is the cookie-cutter, one size fits all, unnatural, 3D living that suffocates the true essence. The album art depicts Rick James as a superhero, breaking through a brick wall…while being followed or chased by women. Although the lyrics make references to getting “high,” and “stoned,” I am not encouraging the abuse of substances to do this. The real substance, the real high in BUSTIN OUT, is understanding YOUR design, LOVING it, aligning with it, and breaking away from all that is unnatural to it!
BUSTIN OUT means to stop hiding your divinity! BUST OUT of obscurity, so others can follow suit!
BUST OUT of the heaviness of being gifted! BASK in your gifts!
BUST OUT of conformity and into the truth of your own skin.
BUST OUT into self honesty! From there come real, solid growth.
BUST OUT of the inner and outer hiding places.
BUST OUT of connections with those that keep your spirits low.
BUST OUT of old. stale, square patterns!
BUST OUT of your cares for people pleasing!
BUST OUT of lack of self love!
Whatever is holding you back or down, BUST OUT, and let this funky groove inspire! The song and the lyrics are below. Beam up to 222.9 The Mothership Internet Radio for more old skool grooves, & mystics infused into one cosmic groove!

Well, alright you squares, it’s time we smoked
Fire up this funk and let’s have a talk
It’ll make you dance and some of everything
Everybody get high, sing
Bustin’ out
Bustin’ out (sing)
Bustin’ out
Bustin’ out
Bustin’ out
We’re bustin’ out of this L-Seven square
Freaks like you and I could never funk from there
We’re bustin’ out, everybody come along
We’re gonna dance on the funk and make love on this song (bustin’ out)
We’re bustin’ out and if everyone agrees
Put your hands in the air and sing along with me (bustin’ out)
We’re bustin’ out on the funk (bustin’ out)
We’re bustin’ out on some serious funk, y’all (bustin’ out)
We’re bustin’ out on the funk (bustin’ out)
We’re bustin’ out on some serious funk, y’all (bustin’ out)
Bustin’ out (sing it again)
Bustin’ out (sing it, sing it, sing it, well)
Bustin’ out
Bustin’ out
We’re bustin’ out of this serious joint
It was too square for me, do you get my point
We’re bustin’ out and we’re free from the square
We done braided our hair, we don’t mind if you stare (bustin’ out)
We’re bustin’ out and we don’t give a damn
If you don’t like our funky then take your stuff and scram (bustin’ out)
We’re bustin’ out on the funk (bustin’ out}
We’re bustin’ out on some serious funk, y’all (bustin’ out}
We’re bustin’ out on the funk

We’re bustin out, we couldn’t wait (we couldn’t wait) (bustin’ out)
L-Seven just predict we’re too damn straight (bustin’ out)
Now that we’re free to communicate
And we’re all a little stoned and we freak when we’re at home
And for me, I only freak when I’m bustin’ out (one more time)
And we’re all a little stoned and we freak when we’re at home
And for me, I only freak when I’m bustin’ (so take that) (bustin’ out)
We’re bustin’ out on the funk (bustin’ out)
We’re bustin’ out on some serious funk (bustin’ out)
We’re bustin’ out on the funk (sing it, sing it) (bustin’ out)
