[00:00.00]God Made Me Funky - Def Jef
[00:00.69]One time for your mind
[00:01.86]
[00:16.17](Hey everybody)
[00:17.89]
[00:32.87]You know it's gots to be funky if I'ma rhyme to it
[00:35.99]Pick up where the others left off and I do it
[00:38.32]With so much soul and so much self control
[00:40.54]I'm a smooth operator puttin' rappers on hold
[00:42.56]
[00:43.29]Flowin' like a stream the rhyme scheme seems to gleam
[00:46.11]Like a flashlight beam but it's no dream
[00:48.59]It's a real type thing and it's happenin'
[00:50.65]Caused by applause and I'm forced to get rappin'
[00:52.79]I'm rearrangin the lines so I can change with the times
[00:55.84]Cockin' rhymes like nines and blowin minds
[00:58.09]I glow and shine like a beacon when I'm speakin'
[01:00.66]Skin is light but I'm not white or Puertorican
[01:03.49]I'm an African descendant very independent
[01:05.81]I make my own money so don't worry how I spend it
[01:08.37]Rappers follow me but I don't need another shadow
[01:10.82]Hollow MC's don't even think about a battle
[01:13.37]Cause if you got the mic and you ain't rockin' it right
[01:15.83]I'll grab it and drop the rhyme like a bad habit
[01:18.37]Hey I wouldn't have it any other way
[01:20.78]So believe a brother when I say
[01:22.17]God made me funky
[01:24.35]
[01:33.28]Now the way I kick a lyric
[01:34.61]You would think I play soccer
[01:35.89]Rhyme stays proper get I'll I be a doctor
[01:38.32]Operate like a well trained surgeon
[01:40.95]Take the competition bust em out like virgins
[01:43.21]They get strung out high dry and hung out
[01:45.88]Without a word like a cat took their tongue out
[01:48.36]Their rhymes were frail pale weak and stale
[01:50.58]But I'm deliverin' a brand new style like a mail
[01:53.12]Man rain and hail and sleet or snow
[01:55.72]No need to worry cause I'm guaranteed to show
[01:58.03]Up right on time with the rhyme to entertain ya
[02:00.83]On the microphone and leave like the lone ranger
[02:03.31]'Who was that stranger ' Shoulders be shruggin'
[02:05.61]
[02:06.67]Everybody's buggin'
[02:07.69]
[02:08.48]Rhymes are funky d**e and keep the crowd want more
[02:10.82]Like a junkie hopin' to make that score
[02:13.30]I'm a true soul brother cause that's the way to be
[02:15.69]And only true soul brothers can dance for me
[02:18.02]Hey I wouldn't have it any other way
[02:20.64]So believe a brother when I say
[02:22.15]God made me funky
[02:24.30]
[02:33.24]You hear the rhymes on the radio in the a m
[02:35.63]On the a m then in the p m on the f m
[02:38.89]Def Jef and my rhymes'll stick witcha
[02:40.96]Verses say a thousand words just like a picture
[02:43.40]And since I'm an artist and my pen's a paintbrush
[02:45.86]When they admire and inquire I say "It ain't much"
[02:48.46]Rhymes flow natural like a second nature
[02:50.66]And if you wanna get on the mic you gotta await your
[02:53.35]Turn learn the fundamentals
[02:55.31]Grab some instrumentals
[02:56.62]Practice makes perfect so rehearsing can pay off
[02:59.09]But for now lay off the mic
[03:00.72]And let a real pro show you how it's supposed to go
[03:03.44]But hold up let me hang my coat up
[03:05.44]Let me clear my throat up
[03:06.55]
[03:07.15]Hm hm now turn my mic up
[03:08.55]Step right up hurry hurry don't miss this
[03:11.02]Watch me light up the mic like a christmas
[03:13.26]Tree see I mean business I ain't effin around
[03:16.41]Put the needle on the record by Jef and you found
[03:18.86]A new sound and you like the way the name sound
[03:20.95]Plus it ain't the same sound cause it ain't James Brown
[03:23.47]No corny lyrics I don't rhyme like that
[03:25.70]But when you think about comin' correct I'm like that
[03:28.71]I wouldn't have it any other way
[03:30.80]So believe a brother when I say
[03:32.38]God made me funky
