lyrics

CHORUS X 2)
So remarkable, the way that I sit on the track
So remarkable, the way that I’m bringing it back
So remarkable, the way that it sounds so sweet
so remarkable, the way I kill it on this rude boy beat


VERSE 1
I used to dream of holding mics, hit records for all my life
Hit record stores for them breaks, looping up beats on them tapes
Ran into this kid called Zakes; he signed me up to his label
Put a deal upon the table, I signed it then I was able to make music easy
They call me the Funky Deezy, a humble kid from the East
Spitting rhymes was all that pleased me
Money didn't worry, label they didn't hurry me
Management didn't pressure me,
Maybe cos I'ze especially talented with the remedy
Jazz was inside my memory
This was not very usual for kids born in the seventies
The late seventies, my passion was weighing heavily
Promised myself I'd never be lacking to bring a melody
Trusted myself impeccably always to bring the sickest beats
Like the last day of October I had the trick or treats
Building up a repertoire of fans who were my arsenal
So if you're asked to describe my time I'd say remarkable


CHORUS X 2


VERSE 2
Who did I have up in the mix? DJ Parris and DJ Stixx
And Dillon was the engineer, what we would break yo he would fix
I'm speaking in the musical not really in the physical
The way that I manipulated sound was like a miracle
Classic Was The Day was effortless that's why its timeless
Even if I made it instrumental, made it rhyme less
And nobody could ever say that Funky D was spineless
I had a lot of haters but I killed them with my kindness
So when I think back to them days when we were going places
Met people on the basis of 'We recognize your faces!
'Forced the industry to have to listen when we speaking
On the radio like almost every other weekend
Even though it was voluntary to listen to our commentary
Cats would say they get so much from someone who was solitary
Then I made a following as loud as any carnival
From music that was written in history as remarkable

CHORUS X 4
