Street shieks
party peeps
it's time to release
the once ceased.
I been listening around
And all I have found
is the abscence of funk
in this town.
Hip hoppa's
maybe a few Rasta's
know how to club a beat.
On a good day they bring out the freak.
I'll give 'em credit
but me I'm headed
to the kitchen to turn up the beat.
All this ice-iteration
that is sweeping the nation
is causing my groove to grieve.
See, I don't want my funk to freeze.
What can you do with frozen funk.
NOTHING!
I need that bass guitar frontin'
while the drummer steady thumpin'
to get the vibe in this joint to start stankin'
like a hot fart in the air just hangin'.
I need some musical licks
that repetatively kick
like a bronco bull when he's piss't.
I'm talking fa-groove-a-theory.
But you can't clearly hear me
while the dance is breakin'
'cuz the club walls shakin'
and the floor vibratin'
from females booty droppin'
and playa's pop and lockin'.
Hustla's tires be poppin'
'cuz the funks too hot 'n
in the parking lots
old schooler's start to rock
a head nod that won't stop.
I'm talking funk-de-mo-ne-um.
Symptoms be stank below the skin.
We gone by pass that iced out disease.
This funk can chill but it don't freeze.
See, you too can slam dunk
raw ba-dat-a-dow funk.
When you feeling a little pain
tell Cold Blooded Mary Jane
to Give It To Me Baby
set my Fire and Desire free
then Come Into My Life
and Dance Wit Me.
It'll be You and I
Bustin Out, wont't you try
to get stank funk deep
you Super Freak.
Just look into my Ebony Eyes
and let the funk hypnotize.
It's the bass guitar frontin'
While the drummer steady thumpin'
That gets the vibe in this joint to start stankin'
like a hot fart in the air just hangin'.
It's them musical licks
that repetatively kick
Like a bronco bull when he's piss't
Ba dunk a dunk funk!!
