[Coolio] Get on up on that funk |
|
And maybe you'll feel better (repeat 2X) |
|
I got the funk inside me, yes it guides me |
|
The light in my eyes, is shinin brightly |
|
Just give me some deep bass, a snare and a kick drum |
|
Turn it up loud and listen to the rhythm run |
|
Whenever I'm feelin bad, angry or upset |
|
I grab a cassette, and pop it in the tape deck |
|
Album or eight-track, as long as it ain't wack |
|
Funk is addictive, but not like crack black |
|
I'm hip to the old shit, the shit that still hit |
|
The Louisiana chicken and homemade biscuits is makin my feet move, it sure does feel good |
|
My head is bouncin, cruisin through my neighborhood |
|
But this ain't pop though, |
|
R&B or disco |
|
Reggae or calypso, that's playin in my radio |
|
It's that funk yes, won't settle for less |
|
Sheeit, I must be blessed, now check it out [W.C. and Coolio] |

|
Now I am the miracle, some say |
|
I'm spiritual |
|
But I'm from the ghetto what? |
|
I live off |
|
Imperial Dip dab smacked in the heart of |
|
South Central |
|
I might make it out (why?) cause |
|
I got potential |
|
I ain't livin by protocol, cross me you're sure to fall |
|
Another sucker, sippin on some |
|
Eightball |

Left by the wayside, run but you can't hide (yeah) |

|

|
You might think |
|
I'm playin |
|
Been rappin so long, some say |
|
I need a vacation |
|
Emcees wanna be me, some girls wanna skeeze me |
|
But I play the back, cause |
|
I'm scared of |
|
A-I-D, S to the next paragraph |
|
I must move on |
|
You might know my face (why) cause |
|
I made a funky song [W.C. and Coolio] |
|
Get on up on that funk |
|
And maybe you'll feel better (repeat 2X) .. "Coo, Coolio! Show em what's on the mic!" [Coolio] |
|
I love the funk, and the funk loves me so |
|
I'm stuck to the funk and |
|
I won't let go |
|
Ain't no mountain high or valley ever deep enough to keep me away from the rhythm of the funky stuff |
|
I know who |
|
I am, and |
|
Sam I ain't |
|
I'll never fake the funk, |
|
I won't cause |
|
I cain't Crazy |
|
Toones on the fader, kinda like |
|
Funk Vader |
|
On tape like great, dominate the record player |
|
So Dub (whattup?) |
|
Won't you step to the front and give the real meanin of the word funk [W.C.] |
|
What's my meanin of the word funk? |
|
Well let me give a demonstration |
|
Minority Alliance of |
|
Anti Discrimination |
|
In other words, an organization of my homeboys stealin from the rich and famous |
|
And givin back to the poor folks in the slums, yo |
|
Cause neither one of us forgot where we came from |
|
Cause when you sellout, you're out, and we don't want ya back |
|
Nigga playin both sides, |
|
I gotta peel his cap |
|
Cause one thing the |
|
Circle ain't down with and that's all these bourgeoise negroes, better known as |
|
COWARDS Huh, sick of society, approval they try so hard with your brand new cars |
|
Try to fit in with the upper class, but the upper class was a mask, and they |
|
LAUGHIN AT |

|
M.A.A.D. Circle |
