Funky For U Ft. Bilal Jill Scott
Common Lyrics

Alright, Okay
We are ready to make it funky for you now

I'm a child of the, The 87
I was born in 1987

From the streets, get on a beat and go
I come from the streets, where I learned to rap and create music

I could break it down like whatever ya
I can rap and perform at a high level

On some K-are-S be here forever type
I plan to be successful in the music industry for a long time like the legendary KRS-One

You-you-you-you know you shouldn't rhyme like
You shouldn't let other rappers influence your rap style

Let them pussy niggas get in your mind like
Don't let weak rappers or negative thoughts affect your music or creativity

Baby boy you could do it take your time do it,
You can be successful in the music industry, take your time and do it right

If you get the chance
If you have the opportunity

To be a man in a B-boy stance and advanced from the go
To be successful in rap and dance like a B-boy from the beginning

I'll trace outer space with a
My music will take listeners to new heights and places

The baby-sitter of styles, I've traveled miles with
As a rapper, I have a unique style and I have traveled great distances to showcase it

Bitches and, I've traveled miles with,
I have traveled with women and experiences that have influenced my music

I've traveled miles with bitches and brew the ritual
I have experienced the rituals and habits of the music industry to get where I am today

Of the real
Of genuine and authentic music

Your platinum but real don't feel you
Although your music is popular, it lacks authenticity and substance

You sampled real and then filtered
You took elements of genuine music and watered it down to fit the mainstream market

I'm built to last, at last I'm free
My music will withstand the test of time and I am finally free to express myself

The Roots and SV be the family tree
The Roots and SV are like family and are closely connected in the music industry

SV and the Roots be the family tree
SV and the Roots are closely connected, like a family tree

The Roots and SV and the tree is
The Roots and SV are like the branches and roots of a tree in the music industry

Come on
Let's go, get funky!

I style for the oh, wild for the oh
I am passionate and unique in my music style

Baby girl let's go half on a child for the oh
Let's start a family together

Lick shot's pop lock and blow for the oh
I am a skilled rapper and dancer and can improvise with ease

Like Ra-I'll move a crowd for the oh
Like the legendary rapper, Rakim, I can captivate and move a crowd with my music

You talkin' loud but ain't sayin' oh
You may be confident, but your music lacks substance

Trickin' paper on a, Captain Save-a-oh
You are wasting your money on things that don't matter, like a superhero coming to save you

I've never been, the type of nigga,
I have always been unique and true to myself

To take, a broad to the courts
I am not the type of person to get involved in romantic drama and legal issues

As a shorty I was always into sports
As a child, I was always into extracurricular activities, like sports

Now I talk to drums and walk in slums and thoughts that's oh
Now I make music, and I reflect on the struggles in the urban communities

Instinct to hustle-divided by the struggle
I have an innate desire to succeed, but it is difficult because of the struggles I face

Plus a couple of scuffle's and up to high shuffle
I have had to fight and overcome obstacles to succeed in the music industry

Even when it sound muffled,
Even when my music may not sound its best

I bust through, narrow gates,
I push through and overcome obstacles to achieve success

With king-sized thoughts that's sparrow shaped
I have grand ideas, despite my small stature, that can take flight like a sparrow

Before I came up I had to elevate
Before I achieved success, I had to improve my skills and elevate my status

Let a nigga move where he want to move up to
Allow me to make my own decisions and move up in the music industry

You don't like how I'm living, well fuck oh
If you don't agree with my lifestyle or music, then that's your problem

I stuck to what I was on, a star is born on a cusp
I stayed true to my roots and my talent has emerged on the brink of success

Many angel's fell to the dust
Many people have failed and given up on their dreams

Leavin' me to trust, only a oh
This has made me trust only myself

Leavin' me to trust y'all only a h
I can only trust a few people in the music industry

Leavin' me to trust in a, oh oh oh
I can only trust my music and my own talents

Let your, imagination, dance to the
Allow your mind to be creative and imagine the possibilities

Dance to the, dance to the hey
Dance to the music and enjoy yourself

Like nobody's watching in a B-boy stance to the hey
Dance freely and with confidence, like a B-boy

I'm funky like Africans in France to the hey
I am unique and have a different style of music, like African culture in France

Yo hey, kick in the bass you,
Let's add some excitement and energy to the music

Chasing paper like a bitch in a race
We are working hard and trying to make money quickly, like a dog in a race

Spit on or death, I still ain't picked up the ace
Even if people hate or criticize my music, I won't give up or lose my confidence

The hundred, styles I run with thick in the race
I have a variety of music styles, and I'm working hard to succeed in the music industry

So let's oh, yeah
Let's get funky and enjoy the music

As long as it's funky, alright, okay (yeah)
As long as the music is good and funky, we are ready to enjoy it

As long as it's funky, funky for you now
We want to hear good, funky music right now
