Verse One (Funky DL)
Yeah I’m back again, it’s Funky on the track again,
and everything is smooth right from the music to the packaging,
I never run short like Park Ave to Madison,
I been around the block from Knight like this was Gladys
and the Pips on a midnight train going from to coast to coast,
arriving at a place where I ain’t falling for no okie dokes,
from these Pinocchios’ who smoking more than Smokey smokes,
asking if we puff, puff, give, of course you know we don’t,
I got that legal mind, the hardest worker,
run up on DL the wrong way I might murk ya’,
put you back in the box, double tape and return ya’,
trying to compare me with some dude I never heard a’,
it’s murda, (murda), murda, (murda),
no wonder why they keep turning round clutching they purse up,
a threat, but with no aggression,
cos I’m bad like MJ 1987.
Chorus (Funky DL)
Everybody listen up, I got something to tell you,
there’s many things I tried to do, some of them fell through,
but when it comes to making these riddims and these tunes,
nobody seems to do it in the way that I do,
everybody listen up, I got something to tell you,
there’s many things I tried to do, some of them fell through,
but when it comes to making these riddims and these tunes,
nobody seems to do it in the way that I do, do, do, do, do.
Verse Two (Funky DL)
This ain’t an image, this ain’t a persona,
this a thriller, this a drama, this is killing them with Karma,
this is playing every city from Chicago to Jakarta,
this is heat like lava, this is sweet Peach Cobbler,
this is D, the beat-making rhyme... I keep saying that,
will never drop the ball, you can’t surprise me when you playing catch,
I got a knack for this, it’s a second nature,
run up on DL the wrong way I might blaze ya’,
it’s too bad that I do brag,
I got rhymes that’ll bun ya’ from my 94 school bag,
from the days of white vests and black doo-rags,
from the days of JD string shoe bags,
I been perfecting this art-form with a precision,
to be the best whether or not I get the recognition,
I’m a threat, but no aggression,
and this another one to add to your collection.
Chorus (x2)
Outro (Stee Moglie & Funky DL)
(It’s like that y’all) it’s like this (it’s like this y’all) and like that,
(it’s like that y’all) and like this (it’s like this y’all) and like that,
(it’s like that y’all) it’s like that, it’s like this and like that.
