Bomfunk MC's Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mr. Bu Bu back, back in the place
So hook up with the groove, the phat, phat bass
Rougher than rough on the richter scale
Bop-bop-bop place a map in hell
High way, our way, hip-hop hooray
Say what, what, what, what the (uh) you say
Old school, so you know I don't play
Knock em out the box just like Sugar Ray

You don't like it, so what, I don't care
I want to battle but it's not a fair play
I've got a million styles, baby, baby
Schizophrenic, no, definitely, maybe
You got static, the company tells me
Automatic is the key behind the game see
But even if they didn't know
I'd still be the sure shot master of the ceremony

One and two and three and four
Come on, come on, what ya waiting for
Let me know if you want some more
Bomfunk MC's gotta rhyme galore
One and two and three and four
Come on, come on, what ya waiting for
Let me know if you want some more
Bomfunk MC's gotta rhyme galore

Flow, flow, flowing once again
Mr. funky rhyme throwing down so good, it's bad
Like a, like a, like a lake with a deck
So now you gots to get with an audio no new chapter
You trapped to the track, you want more
Oh shit, I got you knocking on my door
Beam me up, beam me up, beam me up Scottie
Or I might get naughty and funk that body

Uh, uh, uh, holy hottie
Uh, uh, uh, holy hottie
Uh, uh, uh, holy hottie
Groupies, they're down with everybody

One and two and three and four
Come on, come on, what ya waiting for
Let me know if you want some more
Bomfunk MC's gotta rhyme galore
One and two and three and four
Come on, come on, what ya waiting for
Let me know if you want some more
Bomfunk MC's gotta rhyme galore

I'm like mad scientist on new territories
So never explored there, yeah, just heard stories
Homies surround the rough lyrical terrorist
The be to the O to the W is
Watching for your bass so I pass the test
In any old bad ass MC contest
This is the only scratch so you know we come fresh

One and two and three and four
Come on, come on, what ya waiting for
Let me know if you want some more
Bomfunk MC's gotta rhyme galore
One and two and three and four
Come on, come on, what ya waiting for




Let me know if you want some more
Bomfunk MC's gotta rhyme galore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bomfunk MC's song "1 2 3 4" are all about the rapper's skills and confidence. It starts off with Mr. Bu Bu's return to the music scene, then transitions into a boastful verse about how rough and tough he is. He doesn't care if people like it or not, and he's ready to battle anyone who wants to test him. He claims to have a million different styles, and even though he might be a bit schizophrenic, he's still the master of ceremonies.


The chorus repeats the simple pattern of "one and two and three and four," beckoning the listener to join in and get hyped up. Mr. Bu Bu then continues with more rhymes and wordplay, comparing himself to a "funky rhyme throwing down so good, it's bad." He challenges anyone to try and outdo him in a rap battle, claiming that he's the only scratch and always comes fresh. The song ends with another round of the chorus.

Я очень рад, что русские любят Bomfunk Mc так же, как и мы здесь, в Сербии. Оказывается, эту группу в основном слушают славянские народы, особенно сербы и русские :) Помню те 2000-е, когда я сорвался и послушал такой звук! Я 1991! Привет из Сербии и любовь к русскому народу! <3
