[Chorus: Butterfly]

We jettin', we jettin', we jettin' uptown

We jettin', we jettin', we jettin' downtown

We jettin', we jettin', we jettin' crosstown

We jettin', we jettin', we jettin', we jettin'

We jettin' uptown (Uptown)

We jettin' downtown (Downtown)

We jettin' crosstown

We jettin' all around

No wonder, no wonder, eighth wonder, eighth wonder is funky


[Verse 1: Ladybug]

I live Brooklyn like year twenty-four for sure

Sul, C-Know, in my tennis skirt

And the kick hurts so good that I gotta sort of accents for this

Now here's a notion for my nation 'cause I place you on the dynamite

Right? The creamin' is schemin' to get it

Right, the means almighty dollar

The green power, let loose for the hour

I chose the Black Power

Extra fly joint from marker to yellow paper

And you know I don't delay

Together with my honey like silk and soul

We grow and take you back to like afros

And no quittin' or gettin' jumped by the system

It's all day, all play, got verbs and such

And cuts and crew, no blue eyes to emulate

Some straight, but yeah, we straight up

[Refrain: Digable Planets, Butterfly, Ladybug, & Doodlebug]

Funky

Ease back, the G's is back as an OD, gettin' funky

The sun sets, you bets we gets mad funky

East coast to West, we stays fresh, easy

Smoke rise from the borough where the black cool blow


[Doodlebug]

The globe spins, gems is dropped

No fakin', no bacon, three bridges for money-makin'

Crooklyn, the ebb-swinger's lounge-out spot

Roll with our pants leg up, bump my sounds

Grab my micro', you know how we do in the joint

Do a borough check to see exactly who in the joint

Hot spots, city streets, lye spots, and Jeeps

As a flower, I'm Nile, rivers of style (Fresh, kid)

Yeah, story's complete (Fresh, kid)

Rollin' on them New York streets

With them no-pork beats at the Parliaments

Sevens up, C-know steelo no equal, but the sun and that's


[Chorus]

Funky

Ease back, the G's is back as an OD and we funky

The sun sets, you bets we gets mad funky

East coast to West, we stays fresh, I say quickly

Smoke rise from the borough where that black cool blow


[Butterfly]

It's that nickel slick nig, keep it deep from my heads

Let a fed up, appearin in my camouflage

My hustler walk say New York

Su fronts say Gucci, we make lootchy and never hesitates to set it

Slap hands with my hands from the lands of Crook

Bein lovely over jams that's on the flams with hook

Burn Musk, wear Kush, it's Flatbush

Hear the mental's instrumental cause it's ash to dust

I like to hit lye deep, keep fam tight tight

Keep the vocal strictly any joint, it's right

Let me fly

Ease back, the G's back with the OD

Sun is in the clouds on loud

I got raised by the dim street lights of four cities

My heroes died in prison: George Jackson

Action, she's Buttaflyin, I'm cool eyein

And I rocks no 'Lo unless its scrambler gotten

Me and my honey, we be like Bobby and Erica

Me and my monies, we'll hurt you boulevard empire

One love, gun love come free the land with us

Pigs they cannot shoot this plush and creamy lavishness

Before I pop, I'd rather die in baggy Guess and Timbs

And I put that on the B-K-L-Y-N and that's


[Refrain]

Funky

Ease back, the G's is back as an OD, gettin' funky

The sun sets, you bets we gets mad funky

East coast to West, we stays fresh and we do it on the slickly

Smoke rise from the borough where the black cool blow


[Chorus]

We jettin', we jettin', we jettin' uptown

We jettin', we jettin', we jettin' downtown

We jettin', we jettin', we jettin' crosstown

We jettin', we jettin', we jettin', we jettin'

No wonder, no wonder, eighth wonder, eighth wonder's

We jettin', we jettin', we jettin' around town

No wonder, no wonder, eighth wonder, eighth wonder's

We jettin', we jettin', we jettin', we jettin'
