[Hook: Monica Payne & Butterfly]

L.A. got the funk
Boogie Down got the funk
Queens do got the funk
The Bottom got the funk
We got the funk
[Verse 1: Butterfly]
I'm high as the wind so I blow minds
Curb hangin' and hoppin' at the oracle of hipster
Just like Black Caesar, my depths are fresh
'Cause you're a fish, and I'm a water sign
My laid back pimp walk is linear by design
Gold fronts, saw a shawty, now watch 'em shine
Me and C-Know, makin' it abundant
I'm glad to see my nigga, he plush and lavish on the block
[Verse 2: Ladybug Mecca]
Cleaner than others in my form, I resort on the corners
Connect with my propers
Cop my double players
Cleo still hittin' 'til 38's pump and they up it
Yell it and could never by defunct-ed
I'm totemed in the fashion-worn flyers
Unscared against the palest of 'em
Gem percents unheard since I'm the storm
Donned '69's, power–block
[Verse 3: C-Knowledge the Doodlebug]
You can check my stats, I got crazy ups, baby
C-Know got style, don't play me like I'm lazy
Fade-y, but never will I go out
My clidd-out is known across the Crooklyn lands
My universal fams got stamina
Polar bears in fear when we step in the arena
Three-six-oh, C-Know simply cyclin'
Firm as a rock, print the god when I'm buildin' blocks
[Hook: Monica Payne & Butterfly]
Mecca, she got the funk
She got the funk, yeah
My man C-Knowledge got the funk
He got the funk, yeah
[Verse 4: C-Knowledge the Doodlebug]
From the 11217 I transmit
My area is thick, my vision focused
My jitterbugs limp n' learn as I squirm
But I'm a team player so I waits my turn
And when I get the rock, I'm going straight to the hole
My average per game is pure Black soul
Since the 13 X'd out the ignorance
Got the clearance to speak intelligence on the block
[Verse 5: Mecca the Ladybug]
Into illusion, we drown
Far from all sounds, smooth enough to break you left
Another pound as my Contra's get they rest
That's right, we Shaft dig
Pool cues, this Pro Strips sponsorhip
Burnin', blowin', shakin' – yeah, solid
Three different bags of proof, follow to swallow it
Approach you one time, declare us finer and sharper
In the hours of Black steel power – blocks
[Verse 6: Butterfly]
(What y'all doin' tonight? What you doin' tonight?)
Son... (Yo...!) I'm diving
I'm worm-walking, jeans high, inform
The nigga in the Cadillac, so watch my spokes twist
Spread him out a pound, "yo, slide me to 126"
My soul-zodiac stroll, with G licks
My understanding Bill doses 7's to the 6
I pump a fist
Even my hair got an ego
Id and super-id
The kid is super kid
A doozey with the young Marx, plus the 7ods on the B-Line
[Hook: Monica Payne & Butterfly]
Butterfly got the funk
He got the funk, yeah
Sulaiman got the funk
He got the funk, yeah
[Verse 7: Sulaiman]
Aiyyo, here's the man
The true mastermind, born n' planned
Talents, skills, none can withstand
So kill the sham as I speak techniques mad deep
To represent for the streets, the city corners
Leave 'em hot as a sauna
Word is bond, 'cause Sulai steps beyond
The true original, sunset to rise with foes and those you probably recognized on the block
[Verse 8: Butterfly]
I play my Jeff tilted, 'cause I got shtyle
Like every nigga at the corner store with brown boots
This is our block and we do be tripping
Ringing 'round the ave like Saturn at mad volume
I flash a slick grin, stayin' cool with nuance
The donut-eater sweated the Blackest on all fronts
He asked my whats my name
I told him Mark Essex
Sucker, I got lessons, forever I'm 'bout to bless it
Aiyyo, Sule – noise it up – blocks
[Verse 9: Sulaiman]
I know you feel that you're real
Until you check the steelo, peep the crew members
Brothers like Ambush and C.O
Filthy rich down to mans and savages
Shawn, Has, Kaos, who's the method to your madness
Real troops walk around with the joint, so get the point
Get get the point, get the point, get the point
And now lounge to the sound 'cause the best spoke
I'll catch you on the next note
Or on the block
[Hook: Monica Payne & Butterfly]
