Chorus: Bilal, Jill Scott 



Alright.....Okay [4X'] 

Alright......We'll make it funky for you now 



[Common] 

I'm a child of the ahh - The 87 ahh 

From the streets - Get on a beat and go ahh 

I could break it down like whatever ya ahh 

On some K-R-S be here forever type unh 

You-you-you-you know you shouldn't rhyme like unh 

Let them pussy niggas get in your mind like unh 

Baby boy you could do it take your time do it.... 

If you get the chance 

To be a man in a b-boy stance and advanced from the go 

I'll trace outer space with a unh 

The baby-sitter of styles - I've traveled miles with 

bitches and....I've traveled miles with..... 

I've traveled miles with bitches and brew the ritual 

of the real unh 

Your platinum but real unh's don't feel you 

You sampled real unh's and then filtered 

I'm built to last - at last I'm free 

The Roots and SV be the family tree 

SV and the Roots be the family tree 

The Roots and SV and the tree is unh 

Come on 



Chorus; 

As long as it's funky....alright..okay [yeah] 

As long as it's funky...alright 

As long as it's funky...alright...okay 

As long as it's funky...funky for you now 



I style for the ohhh - wild for the ohhh 

Baby girl let's go half on a child for the ohhh 

Lick shot's pop lock and blaow for the oohh 

Like Ra-I'll move a crowd for the ohhh 

You talkin' loud but ain't sayin' ohhh 

Trickin' paper on a unh... Captain Save-a-ohhh 

I've never been.. the type of nigga.. 

to take.. a broad to the courts 

As a shorty I was always into sports 

Now I talk to drums and walk in slums and thoughts that's ohhh 

Instinct to hustle-divided by the struggle 

Plus a couple of scuffle's and up to high shuffle 

Even when it sound muffled.. 

I bust through.. narrow gates.. 

with king-sized thoughts that's sparrow shaped 

Before I came up I had to elevate 

Let a nigga move where he wanna move up to 

You don't like how I'm livin... well fuck ohhh 

I stuck to what I was on... a star is born on a cusp 

Many angel's fell to the dust 

Leavin' me to trust... only a ohhh 

Leavin' me to trust y'all only a ohhh 

Leavin' me to trust in a - ahh ohhh ohhh ohhh 

ohhh 

Yo 



Chorus: repeat 4X 

As long as it's funky [yeah] 

alright..okay 



Let your.. imagination.. dance to the.. 

Dance to the.. dance to the hey 

Like nobody's watchin in a b-boy stance to the hey 

I'm funky like Africans in France to the hey 

Yo hey.. kick in the bass you.. 

Chasin paper like a bitch in a race 

Spit on or death, I still ain't picked up the ace 

The hundred.. styles I run with thick in the race 

So let's ohhh.. yeah unh hunh
