Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know if you can't with the style that's goin' on right now
Then you need to be sittin' down
If MC's can't get with the style that's goin" on
Then you need to sit down
Do your thing Mack, do it to 'em nigga! Ah whassup?
"But anyway, I'd like to take this, anyway, I'd
Anyway, I'd like to this time out to bother you"
Oh no no no no
No I don't think you can get liver than me G
So sit back, relax, Mack's about to attack
And turn your flav into Similac cause it's like that
I kick funk out the frame, make it insane
With all local stops set to crumble like a doo train
My thickest format, my format's thicker all that
No comp for combat with bwoy like Supercat
Show you where my head's at I crack you with a bat
Where the funk? Hear the trunk a bit and fat knit
Rearrange the skit make it fit so you can't sit
Now ain't that some shh I rip it
I snap a jaw, I stabba jab a dinosaur
Live from Creedmore under the floor
It's like the roughest of ruffnecks, wicked and wick checked
Check the nine sector MC and his project
All you brothers need to know doe
There's no more best MC 'cause that is now me
See, G, I am king MC
Once said from me can't another brother disagree
Got the funk bleedin' all out your trunk
And there's all there is to it (that's all there is)
If you can't funk with the style that's goin' on
Then you need to be sittin' down
If you can't funk with the style that's goin' on
Then you need to be sittin' down
If you can't funk with the style that's goin' on
Then you need to be sittin' down
If you can't funk with the style that's goin' on
Then you need to be sittin' down
You must got no brains in ya head
I kill ya dead on the spot with the hits I got
Trust my flavor G, I make ya want to pee-pee
I got what you can't see, somethin' like a leprosy
I slow it down, somethin' like this
When it's time for me to stun 'em
Mc's I warned them
I'll put 'em on the moon without funk to listen to
Then again, my vibration
May give the sensation they're on vacation
Y'all brothers need a jig changer
Real rugged alligator MC hater from the fader
You little tic-tac, tryin' to act like a lumberjack
Sit back and watch how the earth crack
You funk around, you lay around, that's how it goes
And I suppose MC's still want to try me
King of the mountain is a hard rock
Do you understand, smile and I'll take you out like the mob
Check it black, after the Mack there's no recoup
Not even soup, get out shake the hula hoop
Comin' out the ground
Gettin' down
If you can't funk with the style that's goin' on
Then you need to be sittin' down
If you can't funk with the style that's goin' on
Then you need to be sittin' down
If you can't funk with the style that's goin' on
Then you need to be sittin' down
If you can't funk with the style that's goin' on
Then you need to be sittin' down
Sometimes alone I be writin'
Must be frightenin', to hear I'm on the air
But I don't care, I say I sick one 'til I'll see you sick
Son, grandson, no tellin' when I'm done (no tellin' baby)
I'm about do you and you on some new
Who has a date and thank you for waitin'
There my bad, I thought you took a beatin' in the brain
Then you learned from rap that rap's a mistake
You won't get a break
Big as a cake for me to make, and you bake
So, bonsai here comes the flyest guy
That you ever heard in your lifetime (yup yup yup)
I do a behind
And rewind, I want to kick some more shit
Down your faucet, I pours it
Mighta lost it, but then I retrieve it
Believe it, I got this fat okey-dokey style for a while
Peace from the king
Peace from the king G, here it go
One time for your motherfunkin' mind
If you can't funk with the style that's goin' on
Then you need to be sittin' down
If you can't funk with the style that's goin' on
Then you need to be sittin' down
If you can't funk with the style that's goin' on
Then you need to be sittin' down
If you can't funk with the style that's goin' on
Then you need to be sittin' down
Sittin' down, bwoy
"Anyway I'd like to take this time out"
"No more music by the suckers"
The chorus of Craig Mack’s “Funk Wit Da Style” is a challenge to MC’s who can’t keep up with the current style of music to simply “sit down.” Mack raps about his skills as an MC and how his style is so unique and fresh that he’s the best in the game. He boasts about his ability to create funk and his format being thicker than any other MC. He also uses different comparisons, such as cracking skulls with a bat and jacking dinosaurs, to represent his lyrical prowess. The song’s title itself is a nod to Funk music, as the beat and instrumentation sample Fred Wesley and The New JB’s’ “(It’s Not The Express) It’s The JB’s Monaurail.”
Mack’s lyrics in “Funk Wit Da Style” show his confidence in himself and his music. He doesn’t shy away from boasting and uses different similes and metaphors to describe how great he is as an MC. The song’s catchy chorus is a warning to any MC’s who can’t keep up with the style of the music to step aside and let the real talent shine. Ultimately, the song is about Mack’s love for Funk music, which he uses as a base to build his own, unique sound and style.
