[Intro: Chorus from 'Rhyming on the Funk' by Money B]
|
S-H-I-N-I-N on the funk
|
And listen to the MCs rhyming on the funk
|
We solemnly swear; to never bust a style that's bunk
|
So listen to the way that we're rhyming on the funk
|
|
[Humpty Hump] Yeah! Yo, shock, it's a funky groove, man, it's kind of funky!
|
|
[Shock G:] You think so? I appreciate that, Hump
|
|
[Humpty Hump]
|
But yo player, how come you and Money B decided to call it?
|
Why did y'all name it 'Rhyming on the Funk', You know what I'm saying? (Well)
|
I mean, like, alright, if the beat is funk, and y'all was rapping over it
|
So obviously you're rhyming on the funk, you know what I'm saying?
|
|
[Shock G] Yeah, that's what I'm saying
|
|
[Humpty Hump]
|
So why would you even name a song like that?
|
it's obviously rhyming on the funk, it's like you're not trying to be creative..
|
|
[Shock G]
|
Yo Humpty man, if you want me to answer your question;
|
You gotta cool out and listen, alright? (Uh-huh)
|
Yo, I just named it "Rhyming on the Funk" we kind of..
|
We decided to call it that, because we know the beat's funky and everything,
|
But it's, it goes.. (Ooh, dig it!) Listen! Just listen! it goes beyond that!
|
The beat's funky but we wanted to let people know where the real funk came from
|
We didn't mean funk as in funky beats
|
we meant funk as in the Funk Mob, you know what I'm saying?
|
|
[Humpty Hump]
|
Oh! Funk Mob? (Yeah)
|
What the hell is the funk mob, bunch a brothers don't take a bath? Ha,ha ha.
|
|
[Shock G]
|
No, no, Humpty, listen, man
|
Sometimes you act real dumb, you know what I'm saying?
|
(Oh, come on!) Funk Mob is like, you know;
|
All the new deaf producers who's doing the fly beats now
|
Like the Lynch Mob, the Bomb Squad (Yeah!) PMD, Dr. Dre (Oh! yeah)
|
They dropping all the hype new stuff, the Hip-Hop stuff
|
The Funk Mob was the old production crew man, you know what I'm saying?
|
The Funk Mob is Parliament, Funkadelic, Brides of Frankenstein
|
Freddie Wesley and the Horny Horns, George Clinton
|
And Bootsy Collins, you know what I'm saying?
|
Those kind of people..
|
|
[Humpty H] Yo, I know those, I know all of them brothers, man
|
[Shock G:] They laid the groundwork Humpty, we gotta give it up
|
|
[Humpty Hump]
|
Man, I know all of them, Bootsy and George Clinton and them
|
But what I'm trying to say, is it ain't really like that a new thing, man
|
The new stuff, the DJs and samplers and things, you got people like me saying
|
(They laid the groundwork) Stop what you're doing, you know what I'm saying?
|
(No!) it's just, it's a new phase
|
It ain't nothing like you trying to back there, it ain't..
|
|
[Shock G:]
|
Humpty, be quiet, man, listen (Pffft.. HHHHH be quiet)
|
You're not hearing what I'm saying
|
All the Hip-Hop stuff we doing now is BASED on what these brothers did
|
James Brown, all of these people (I know that, Shock)
|
You got to give credit where credit is due, you know what I'm saying?
|
|
[Humpty Hump]
|
I know this, man, yo, yo, yo, I'm giving credit, man,
|
I'm giving credit, all I'm trying to say (No! You're not though)
|
See, you're making me upset, man! (You're not giving credit though!)
|
All I'm trying to say is; that it's cool but it ain't like the newer
|
Just I'm not from that time period (So What?)
|
And I don't understand all of that (You don't have to be)
|
And it ain't all that..
|
|
[Shock G]
|
Yo, you don't have to be from that time period to understand it
|
You know what I'm saying? (It's some of that!) NO-uh, it's all of that!
|
(Psssh, aw, man) Not 'Just Knee Deep' Humpty!
|
|
[Humpty Hump]
|
Oh, uh, I didn't know the Funk Mob made 'Not Just Knee Deep' Oh! man!
|
|
[Shock G:]
|
Well, that's what it is! You ain't even up on nothing (Alright)
|
You ain't up on nothing! why don't you just.. (It's MOST of that!)
|
Huh? I'm not stupid; I heard you, you said it's Most of that
|
