The lyrics of Mike-E's song "Tell Me" convey a sense of celebration and enjoyment through funky music. The repeated phrases "Tell me funky good thing" emphasize the desire for positive experiences and good vibes. The use of Japanese phrases such as 目覚めよ (awaken) and 食い込み (body line) adds a unique cultural flavor to the lyrics, suggesting a fusion of different musical influences. The mention of "Groovin'now" further underscores the theme of enjoying the present moment and getting lost in the music's rhythm.
The lyrics highlight a sense of unity and connection among "Funky people," who are described as feeling "Tender Hi&low."

References to musical elements like "One pattern bass drum" and "One chord music" hint at a stripped-down yet impactful approach to creating funky tunes. The mention of a "Flash light" of pleasure reinforces the idea of experiencing enjoyment and satisfaction through music. The name-drop of Sly Stone, a legendary funk artist, pays homage to the roots of funk music and the influence it has on the song's sound and message.
