Funk U Up
Copyright 2006 S.Towery
Make it funk, like the old school
Well funk you up.
Take me back to the days when the ladies wore lace
The music was funky and the ballers had taste
Back to the funky rhythm stellar funk pace
Back to when the P-Funk was above the paper chase
Ah yeah in the summer we groove the beat of the three elements
The Earth, The Wind The fire we moved in the middle of a funky groove settlment ah., ah
Head up was the way that we fought and gats and guns came as the last of resorts
South Central was safe and the house party ruled if brotha got rowdy we bum rushed the fool
And the herb was so green and skunky, the ladies were fine and the music was funky
The Isleys Fith The Power on the radio played, Ah we want the funk, Funkadelic was laid
Make it funky yall
Make it funk, like the old school
Well funk you up.
Hold up, the P-funk sign, turn up all the volume and take me back in time to
8 tracks roln in my Belair 64, laces in Bellbottoms were on sale in every store
When Sly Stone Said you can make it if you try, the brothas still get funky so we know he didnt lie
It was safe to walk the streets in L.A. in South Central, Sanada Red wine kept us mental
Cause we played in the streets just like thugs, we balled all day yeah thats just how it was
No techno pop just a soulful funky groove when James Brown said get up and make your body move
Thats what I want to hear right now and if you cant get wit it then let me show you how
Take me back to Dramatics singing Go Out In The Rain and the Ojays took us on the love train
Make it funky yall
Make it funk, like the old school
Well funk you up.
Sportn a 64 Lime Green Chevy Belair with the diamond tuck and roll and my initials everywhere.
Hydrolics in the front and hella juice in the back and when I cruised through the hood nobody ever tried to Jack.
Gangsta gangsta cause we always had a plan to get the hearty party started with the Average White Band.
George Clinton and Bootsie blairing on the radio, when we passed through the hood they said Yo, there dem brothas go.
Make it funk, like the old school
Well funk you up.
Make it funk, like the old school
Well funk you up.
Yeah just like that! I want to hear some Sly Stone, BT Express, LTD, Gap Band and some Cameo, Confunction, Barkays, Earth Wind & Fire, Kool & The Gang, Some Rick James and the Stone City Band, Teena Marie, Bohannon, The Isley Brothers, Ohio Players, Tower Of Power, AWB, Lakeside, Heatwave, The Commodores, Brass Construction,
