Funkin' With You
Ice MC Lyrics

Funkin' wuith you, funkin' with you, I'm funking
I'm here to get down with you and have a good time by grooving to the music

Tune in close because I wanna tell ya something
Listen carefully because I have something important to say

Ice MC can keep a riddim steady pumin'
I have the skills to keep the beat steady and strong so that we can dance without any disruption

I'm no MC who rhyms like a pumpin'
I'm different from other MCs because I don't just spit out rhymes without a purpose

Long ago when I was a teenager
In my youth, I experienced a lot of trouble and hardship

I leved a live, I leved a life of danger
I lived a dangerous and risky life

Robbin' and ting 'cause the society made ya
I had to resort to stealing and other illicit activities because the society I lived in didn't offer any other opportunities

Me to a job was like meeting a stranger
Finding a legitimate job was extremely difficult for me as it was something unfamiliar and out of reach

F.u.n.k.i.n. I'm funkin' with you, funkin' with you
I'm here to get down with you and have a good time by grooving to the music

Ater a year of this special training
After undergoing a year of rigorous training

The ice was set free but I was still complaining
Even though I was released from my life of hardship, I still felt like I was missing something

The situations worse oh yes it's worse the situation
Things have gotten even worse than expected

Would've been better off with a different education
A different education would have put me on a better path and prevented me from experiencing the troubles I faced

My mother and my father they were born in Jamaica
My parents were born in Jamaica

I haven't been there yet I hope to visit there later
I haven't visited Jamaica yet, but I plan to in the future

Know where I'm coming from and
Understand my background and where I'm coming from

Know where I'm going
Understand my goals and aspirations

I'm a britaican as I grow it is showing
As I continue to grow, my identity as a British-Jamaican becomes more apparent

F.u.n.k.i.n. I'm funkin' with you, funkin' with you
I'm here to get down with you and have a good time by grooving to the music

Eventually finally I got it together
After some time, I finally picked myself up and sorted things out

And I won't stop rocking no way no dubt
I won't stop making music and entertaining people

So this is a shout goin' out for all the louses
This is a message for all the people who don't understand the true essence of rap music

Who don't know what rap music is about
People who don't understand the true meaning and purpose of rap music

I didn't get a chance to say exactly what I wanted
In the past, I didn't have the opportunity to express myself fully

Long ago so now it is my chance just tune in close
Now, I have the chance to express myself fully and I hope you listen carefully

'cause now I'm getting paid and laid don't be afraid
I'm finally getting success and recognition, don't be afraid to connect with me

I'm getting paid for my lyrics take a double dose
My lyrics are valuable and meaningful, take a closer listen

Wasn't before now things have changed and I'm
Things have changed for me, and I'm doing much better now

Jumpin' like Jack Flash but with you I am funkin'
I'm full of energy and ready to have a good time with you

Time after time after rhyme after rhyme
Consistently and repeatedly, song after song

Ya try to put me down 'cause I'm gettin' mine
People try to bring me down because of my success and achievements

I wan't pay you no mind I just call back on my
I won't give negative people any attention, I'll just focus on my own goals

Blackness protected by a wall man you cannot
My identity as a black person is protected by walls that negative people cannot penetrate

Attack this
They can't bring me down or harm my spirit

But I attack and my piece will go boom
I'm strong and powerful, and I'll attack anyone who tries to bring me down

Nah I'm just funkin' with you
Just kidding, I'm not actually trying to start a fight, I just want to have a good time with you
