Keepin’ It Funky

Now it all started when I was small when life when life was so easy way before the internet reality tv
Way before cell phones even beepers absent
Olds school when teachers had the green light to slap sense
Into a knucklehead kid you get the picture
Like Easyshare from kodak you can take that image with ya
Ma had the records on lp’s and 45’s, 8 tracks and tape stacks
The choices were great black
Soul funk and r&b were steady occasions
Roots soundtrack Alvin Ailey revelations
So I took it all in wit no hesitation
And keepin it wit me for the entire duration
Zoom fast forward 10 years now I’m 15
A tribe called quest low end theory just hit the scene
The tape was lent to me the with the case missing
When the tape ended I just kept flipping
It over and over could cause not believe this thing
Did not even eat dinner was too busy listening
Was captivated by the sound and what they were spitting
From that day I realized the music was in me
But unlike my blood and bones the music had to get out
And rock these joints like folks when they get gout
Keepin it in is like a keg wit no spout
I know I made the right decision look at the head count

It dont matter where I go ima keep doin what I know, keepin it funky yea (I'll be) keepin it funky and when I’m gone where does my soul go I’d tell you but I don’t know (but ill still) be keepin it funky (for real) keepin it funky
