In Stereo
Bomfunk MC's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I hear is a funky flow
It really makes me lose control
Bomfunk MC's in stereo, in stereo, in stereo
All I hear is a funky flow
It really makes me lose control
Bomfunk MC's in stereo
Cannot hide it, can't deny it
It's so obvious you hope to hide it
Like a pilot, you get a mic
Boombox blasting like a siren
Roar you're a mighty lion
Roar when pumping the iron
Roar one million strong
Roar turn it up, come on
But how right, but how right, but how right, ow
But how right, but how right
When I listen to my stereo
All I hear is a funky flow
It really makes me lose control
Bomfunk MC's in stereo, in stereo, in stereo
All I hear is a funky flow
It really makes me lose control
Bomfunk MC's in stereo
But how right, but how right, but how right
Star supremo, with the ill flow
Got you yearning, turning reckless
You don't understand but you still want to check this
One to two to two to one techniques
Busting the funk, freaking the funk
Eating the funk, making it funk
Loving the funk, falling to funk
Yeah, so what's up punk
But how right, but how right, but how right
But how right, but how right
When I listen to my stereo
All I hear is a funky flow
It really makes me lose control
Bomfunk MC's in stereo, in stereo, in stereo
All I hear is a funky flow
It really makes me lose control
Bomfunk MC's in stereo
But how right, but how right, but how right
But how right, stereo, funky flow, lose control
Stereo, stereo, funky flow, lose control
Stereo
The lyrics of "In Stereo" by Bomfunk MC's talk about the power of music and the effect it has on people. The first verse talks about how the funky flow of the music they create takes over and makes the listener lose control. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the power of music to take over and dominate a person's senses.
The second verse introduces the idea of the MC as a pilot, steering the music and blasting it out like a boombox siren. The imagery of a mighty lion roaring while pumping iron shows the strength and power of the MC, while the repetition of the word "roar" emphasizes the primal nature of the music.
The third verse introduces the idea of the MC as a "star supremo," with ill flow that gets listeners yearning and turning reckless. The verse also mentions various techniques the MC uses to create the funky flow that takes over, such as busting, freaking, eating, making, and loving the funk. The final tagline of "But how right, stereo, funky flow, lose control" drives home the idea that this music is irresistible and takes over completely.
