Something kinda smooth, on the mellow tip
|
Seeking deeper and deeper, you just might slip
|
Into a trance, mind going slow
|
Didn't wanna curse so they'll pump it on the radio
|
Called up Banks on the GTE mobil
|
Well it's about 9:00, yo Ant I'll be over
|
Searching through some records from way back when
|
Found something smooth, and yo Ant give it a spin
|
Thought of something cool, rhymes definitely pumpin'
|
Bassline groove and kick drum thumpin'
|
Using my mind like a Webster encylcopedia
|
Pooh-Man is selling out and this is for the media
|
A little something, from the Mack to the Oaktown
|
To the papers who keep putting our names down
|
Short Short but Funky, Dangerous Dame
|
En Vouge and the Toni's just to add some names
|
Can't forget Pebbles, Sly and Larry Graham
|
And yours truly, MC Pooh-Man
|
Oaktown is on the rise, and I knew you'd ever see
|
We just funky as ahhhhh, we wanna be
|
|
First rhyme, just on the PG
|
Going through history and fools can't get with me
|
Looking fake, perpetrating rappers every day
|
Misguided brothers without nothing to say
|
All kind of critic say we diss mentality
|
But don't they know that "Rated R" is "Reality?"
|
My other homeboy said "Kill At Will"
|
That's the way we live and we know it's real
|
My boy from the east said "Fear of a Black Planet"
|
I know a certain race that couldn't understand it
|
To see a black man clocking fat grands
|
To a grafted devil, it's hard to understand
|
But I'm an artist, begging your pardon
|
Used to be small, but my pockets are enlarging
|
Straight from the streets, I use game as a weapon
|
You ask "What is game?" But fool keep stepping
|
But I'm a keep rolling, Ant Banks and me
|
And I'm a come, Funky as I Wanna Be
|
|
Rap's going, I be flowing something different
|
Something mellow, cool with an accent
|
Kind of tender like Ant Banks' girlfriend
|
I changed the style, something they couldn't comprehend
|
Ant said "Pooh, let's make it kind of serious"
|
Not funny, just to make the money
|
Say I'm a pro and I can flow with the best of 'em
|
Then say "I be damn" to the rest of 'em
|
See you're caught up in my rapture cause it's been so long
|
Let me stop using the bitches' songs
|
Baby don't like rap, but I like soul
|
She might listen to my lyrics and lose control
|
See I'm hard as hell and it could ever be
|
See I'm F-U-N-K-Y as I wanna be
|
