Now it all started when I was small when life when life was so easy way before the internet reality tv

Way before cell phones even beepers absent

Olds school when teachers had the green light to slap sense

Into a knucklehead kid you get the picture

Like Easyshare from kodak you can take that image with ya

Ma had the records on lp’s and 45’s, 8 tracks and tape stacks

The choices were great black

Soul funk and r&b were steady occasions

Roots soundtrack Alvin Ailey revelations

So I took it all in wit no hesitation

And keepin it wit me for the entire duration

Zoom fast forward 10 years now I’m 15

A tribe called quest low end theory just hit the scene

The tape was lent to me the with the case missing

When the tape ended I just kept flipping

It over and over could cause not believe this thing

Did not even eat dinner was too busy listening

Was captivated by the sound and what they were spitting

From that day I realized the music was in me

But unlike my blood and bones the music had to get out

And rock these joints like folks when they get gout

Keepin it in is like a keg wit no spout

I know I made the right decision look at the head count

It dont matter where I go ima keep doin what I know, keepin it funky yea (I'll be) keepin it funky and when I’m gone where does my soul go I’d tell you but I don’t know (but ill still) be keepin it funky (for real) keepin it funky
