(feat. Common & Bilal)
Chorus: Bilal, Jill Scott
Alright
..Okay [4X']
Alright
We'll make it funky for you now
[Common]
I'm a child of the ahh - The 87 ahh
From the streets - Get on a beat and go ahh
I could break it down like whatever ya ahh
On some K-R-S be here forever type unh
You-you-you-you know you shouldn't rhyme like unh
Let them p**y n***as get in your mind like unh
Baby boy you could do it take your time do it
.
If you get the chance
To be a man in a b-boy stance and advanced from the go
I'll trace outer space with a unh
The baby-sitter of styles - I've traveled miles with
b**hes and
.I've traveled miles with
..
I've traveled miles with b**hes and brew the ritual
Of the real unh
Your platinum but real unh's don't feel you
You sampled real unh's and then filtered
I'm built to last - at last I'm free
The Roots and SV be the family tree
SV and the Roots be the family tree
The Roots and SV and the tree is unh
Come on
Chorus;
As long as it's funky
.alright..okay [yeah]
As long as it's funky
alright
As long as it's funky
alright
okay
As long as it's funky
funky for you now
I style for the ohhh - wild for the ohhh
Baby girl let's go half on a child for the ohhh
Lick shot's pop lock and blaow for the oohh
Like Ra-I'll move a crowd for the ohhh
You talkin' loud but ain't sayin' ohhh
Trickin' paper on a unh
Captain Save-a-ohhh
I've never been.. the type of n***a..
To take.. a broad to the courts
As a shorty I was always into sports
Now I talk to drums and walk in slums and thoughts that's ohhh
Instinct to hustle-divided by the struggle
Plus a couple of scuffle's and up to high shuffle
Even when it sound muffled..
I bust through.. narrow gates..
With king-sized thoughts that's sparrow shaped
Before I came up I had to elevate
Let a n***a move where he wanna move up to
You don't like how I'm livin
well f** ohhh
I stuck to what I was on
a star is born on a cusp
Many angel's fell to the dust
Leavin' me to trust
only a ohhh
Leavin' me to trust y'all only a ohhh
Leavin' me to trust in a - ahh ohhh ohhh ohhh
Ohhh
Yo
Chorus: repeat 4X
As long as it's funky [yeah]
Alright..okay
Let your.. imagination.. dance to the..
Dance to the.. dance to the hey
Like nobody's watchin in a b-boy stance to the hey
I'm funky like Africans in France to the hey
Yo hey.. kick in the ba** you..
Chasin paper like a b**h in a race
Spit on or d**h, I still ain't picked up the ace
The hundred.. styles I run with thick in the race
So let's ohhh.. yeah unh hunh
