Now it's time to get buckwild And watch my funky brothers freak the underground In a second, or minute, in no times flat (Flatline noise) Bring it back And go grab the album to give the Lords money Take it home to mom to say "Ain't they funky?" [Mr. Funkee] We gone psycho and everbody thought they did was styles They didn't affect me, I said "So what?" I kept on writing rhymes I keep my funky style perfected so no one can stop my flow I fear no man, cause if it's on fool, then it's on (And it's on) Don't worry not for other crews selling out As long as Lords of the Underground stay underground The brothers of LOTUG will keep the lyrical fitness Don't worry about me selling out, mind your business You might say "Damn, Mr. Funkee's throwing out" But if you listen to the words then you'll know what I'm about Any props you receive are the props that you earn I'm off till the funky child returns
