Some incomprehensible words of James Brown – Funky President
This song keep playing in my mind since the time when I played some game where this song was.
Lyric web sites say different versions. I gather up all the versions in one. Cold anyone please clarify or make possible suggestions to those incomprehensible lines?

Incomprehensible Godfather
The incomprehensible word is "rap", used here as an exhortation for the Godfather [Brown] to speak.
Put up [Incomprehensible] on/own the job
The phrase is "Put up your factory, own the job," as in start your own business rather than seek employment from others.
