Funkmaster Flex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn your radios up, turn your radios up
This, that one right here I was telling y'all niggas about
That Nature shit
(Queens Bridge)
That Flex shit
(We gonna beat y'all in y'all fucking heads)
That direct shit
A yo, a yo, a yo, a yo, I rock a short sleeve shirts and long sleeve shirts
Your freestyles hot though you songs need work
Ya shit stay in the hood while my songs leave earth
Every 16 I drop a concrete verse

Smack is just like a brick to a skull more slicker that dull
Queens bridge nigga hit you for sure
Change the locks on your door niggas still get through
It ain't a muthafucking thing I ain't willing to do
(Home boy)

It ain't no killer in you ya hand cuffed
F there [unverified] don't make me tear that ass up
We could do it all day until we winded or injured
Sit back and have a few drinks and maybe

She pushed the issue I push you deep in grave
Wilder than a Puerto Rican parade
Keep the thing wit me all the time even when I'm going to court
I'm prepared I don't know what you thought, ya'll don't here me though

Never been afraid, nigga never once told
Catch me in the projects in you want cold
Catch me in the mic room if you want hits
So what you want bitch, I know you want this

A yo, a yo, a yo, I know the roaches get big, the showers stay cold
The clinic stay packed, the power stay sold
Niggas showing off no matter how much they sold
Fuck the cops, they fowler than us and they know

They just pick a nigga, cuff a nigga
Run 'em in, do the same to another nigga
Once again it's a I S bill, we need Cockrine fierce [unverified]
Yo we gotta do something 'cause they not gonna fear us

Fuck that, my man Jay used to play for the Dogers
Hurt his hand string now he watches
Got hoes topless and other hoes totally nude
But he keep them to his self and me supposed to be schooled

Type of nigga that I'll show me the wolves and try to pet them
Getting to hot I perspire venom, I put the fire in them
Make it so they never cool off
And when the snow clears tell them who lost, they don't hear me though

Never been afraid, nigga never once told
Catch me in the projects in you want cold
Catch me in the mic room if you want hits
So what you want bitch, I know you want this

I know you want this, I know you want this
You know you need this, what, wild gremlins, 2000




Funk Flex, Queens Bridge, Nature, Big Joey
Y'all niggas know
