[Intro: Substantial + Funky DL]


[Verse 1: Substantial]

I’m headed out ta’

Various cities that I encounter

Handin’ concierge passports across counters

Cross timezones, find poems above clouds

Check in prior to mic checks after I touchdown

Triple S time, get rhymes in order

For the evening festivities. Make time for my daughter

Via Skype ‘cause she missing me like I’m on a poster

And I am but it’s different see I am not lost but

Find me on stage, losing my self like Mr. Mathers

Spittin’ what matters to listeners at this particular gathering

...And I admit that I have a gift for the gab

But still make time to get equip for the path so I bring

...Something true to the table

So this music enables me

To go where few aren’t able

To do their thing

Lay the foundation for ‘em

Hopefully it’ll be discovered when they’re out their explorin’

Nah’mean

[Hook: Substantial] x2

I don't know

Where this path goes

But I'll be there

Mic in my hand

Soul pumpin' out my chest

While the DJ hold it down

Playing something I can bless


[Verse 2: Funky DL]

I am a child of music, flowing just like a cruise ship

I won't ever lose it, brighter then when the rooms lit

Holding the mic so tight, I'm bound to give it bruises

The way I do's this, It's like people are feeling clueless

Who' this? Funky, the lord of the underground

Strike like lightning, following with the thunder sound

BOOM! So come dance with me, while p-dot-r do it substantially

So what's the reason? we want to give you something to believe in

Every-time we take a piece of vinyl, pull it out the sleeve

And put a needle to it, you can feel a positive influence

Like a teacher to a student, at the same time it's the coolest

And every-time I do this, I don't question me

It's just my chosen path, journey, and my destiny

So like my man Stan say "We lay the foundation for them"

Hopefully they play this record when they're chilling on the corner

Nah'mean

[Hook: Funky DL] x2

I don't know

Where this path goes

But I'll be there

Mic in my hand

Soul pumpin' out my chest

While the DJ hold it down

With the records he suggests


[Outro: Substantial + Funky DL]

Fresh! ... Rest In Peace Nujabes
