[Intro]

Just ride with me, y'all

Yeah, just vibe with me y'all

Yeah

[Verse One]

It's time to break away from the normal routine

And get rid of labels like underground and mainstream

I'm here to educate you on the funk

I wanna hear it when it bumps from the amps in the trunk

But it's more then a genre, it's a feeling you conjure

Even if you try to fight it, in the end, you will be conquered

It gets the body moving, it'll make you lose control

When life gets you down, the funk can soothe your soul

It's a spiritual awakening in musical form

I'm spitting flames on the track to keep your heart warm

They say it's the devil's work, but I say the opposite

When someone really put their soul on record, God's in it

Critics try to find flaws in it

The degradation of this current nation, they say Hip-Hop is causing it

But nothing could be further from the truth

When Hip-Hop is laced with The Funk, it brings the best out the youth

I turn the radio off, cause nothing they play inspires me

But I know the Funk can fix this state of society

When the bass is booming and the melody is smooth

We can be one nation under a groove

So wave you hands in the air if you're with me

Together we can bring positivity back to this city

It's all about health, wealth, and knowledge of self

And if you want the funk, you don't need to look anywhere else

Cause...

[Hook](2x)

If you need it, we got it

Put us on any stage, we'll rock it

No matter what you say, you can't stop it

"I'm getting down with the Funk!"

[Verse Two]

Even though the funk's been missing from most modern compositions

Scottie Royal's got the beats that make folks wanna listen

And with Headcase on the mic, the formula is complete

I give the people what they need with my lyrical feats

I got that breakneck delivery, yours is stop-and-go

I married Hip-Hop but cheated on her with Rock and Roll

I started fooling around with a little blues and a lot of soul

Now I'm the jack of all trades, musically unstoppable

Funk what you heard, these rappers stay fronting

They say "Keep it real!" when they 'bout as real as the Great Pumpkin

They're scared to be themselves so they all act the same

I'm the Mothership Connection, y'all are just some Maggot Brains

This is only a little taste, something you can savor

I'll kick you out the kitchen if you can't stand the flavor

From James Brown to George Clinton, I've studied them all

For the last four decades, the funk has evolved

Into something more than music, it's powerful force

It radiates in all of us, our heart and soul is the source

It combines health, wealth, and knowledge of self

Now if you want the funk, you don't need to look anywhere else

Cause...

[Hook](2x)
