CHORUS (x2):
Funk, it`s gotcha bumpin`, makes ya jump
so pump the song for me
Thumpin` cuz it`s somethin` thatcha lovin`
shake your rump for me
God made me funky, each and every single day I pump beats
Hip-hop is my favourite but I`m a music junkie
Trust me, my whole life, rhythm in my head
At night before I sleep I tap beats on my bed
Ask my friends `bout my habit that seems never endin`
Use my fingers to scratch on any nylon or denim
Pretendin` I`m a DJ in a DMC battle
That`ll dazzle onlookers while the speakers snap and rattle
It don`t matter where I`m at, where readin` or chillin`
I be rhymin` in my head, whether eatin` or shittin`
I be chillin` with a chick and I`m about to hit it yo
I imagine that it be happenin` in a video
Really though, everything is a song I got a trick
Make beats clickin` my teeth, internally it`s sick
Cuz if you love music, then you know it`s oxygen
Ain`t got a heart, my chest is where my funkbox is in!
[Chorus]
My funkbox is not only my heart, it`s my soul
Funk pours from my pores and my follicles and holes
I was told that during my mother`s pregnancy
Is the time period in which the funk entered me
She would party, big belly and all, feelin` no ways
`Till I was born, holdin` a mic, sportin` some shades
I was cool daddy, never shy to be an attraction
Had early visions of becoming the next Michael Jackson
If your askin` what I did as a kid to get licks
Broke my mom`s wooden spoons usin` `em as drumsticks
I wasn`t a dumb kid, I got good report cards
My dad would buy me a record awarding me for the job
See, toys came second and T.V. it came third
Always knowin` one day, through music I would be heard
It`s obvious to me why God put me on this place
Ain`t got a mouth, a funkbox is found on my face!
[BRIDGE]
The funk is all up in me, the only way it can be
I don`t know what I`d do without music in my life, oh
I simply cannot believe, how some people can conceive
Living from day to day without feelin` the vibe, oh
[Chorus]
My funkbox is not only my soul, it`s my mind
No exaggeration, it`s creating music all the time
If you could find wires that could connect to me
You would hear music made better than any MPC
From elementary throughout university
Built a savings all spent on creating my first CD
Do you love music like me? Well, ask yourself a question:
Would you tell your future wife that to it, she came second?
Break up and find solace in making a slammin` record
Knowin` that as an artist is how you`re truly respected
My reason for breathin` is cuz music is my bride
Don`t live on earth, a funkbox is where I reside!
[Chorus]
