Food For Funk Lyrics

    Common:
    What, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
    Yo, yo yo yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
    Check it, yo
    You say a one for the trouble, two for the time
    Come on y'all, let's rock that, uh
    (i can feel the funk)(x4)
    Check it
    I come to grips with mics
    I come to grips that a lot of mic users is dikes
    I come to grips with the likes of fred hampton
    Cold, so i'm lampin, with no need for spotlight
    When i got light like an intersection, you talk
    But you came to my town with protection
    Election year, had the block hot
    I scream "fuck the world" for having a baby girl sorta cock block
    I write rhymes like i come from the windy city
    With my crew, i click like simply, stand midi with reality
    Casually, i walk through these war games
    Some claim say but then they take on whore names
    If that's the way your sex drives, stay in your lane
    If you're a man, i can't tell like if the door rang now
    Chorus:
    Now, to the ladies in the house when you come in the place
    It ain't a bunch of niggaz all up in your face
    The music is thumpin and you're feelin the bass
    What you wanna do girl(wanna shout)
    To the brothas when you come in a jam, it ain't a bunch of niggaz
    It ain't high tech and ain't got free liquor
    You jackin his name and stick to make you jones get thicker
    What you wanna do man?(let go)
    Yo, check it
    Some niggaz be on the mic, sounding like dikes
    Allow me to get on and bust like spike(uh)
    Lee, i'm in the majors with no rotation
    Through stations of bullshit, i see through like a pager
    In the age of aquarius, various things
    Is gonna carry us in intellect and what have you
    Street astrologists interpret point stars and half moons
    Then end up on garages or walls in bathrooms
    Every black moon, a rap tune move me
    The rap sun, i rain more than rudy, that unruly shit is played
    It don't stop
    It's time to get it, get it made
    I got my mind made up like foxy brown's face
    I know how the underground tastes
    I want a crib from the ground up, rooms spin at a round pace
    Get down based on true story, through corey, came close to the
    Teachers
    Colder as the iceman, posted before it start wrinklin
    Linkin with cats, who don't react to change in the years
    Fulfill prophesies in rooms full of emptiness, now
    Chorus:
    I can feel the funk(x8)
    Yo, check it, check it
    I came through the corridor, with the aura
    Raw chicago mora, scope the horror
    Read between the lines and know the border
    Some pop wines for juice, i wait in the water
    Waitin for you big willie niggaz to have a show at the crib
    We gon get with your glamour, long as we know where it is
    Tell you ain't a player by your sweater doused with wack feather
    The crib got the gangsta playa shit patent like black leather
    I rap better than you, you, or maybe him
    But i am like a tree and every lyric is a timb
    Spilled brews and greasy foods got my car smelly
    Some be so high, they believe they fly like r. kelly
    But then they fall off, dusted niggaz is gettin sawed off
    They fall soft, my mental lift is for me to haul off
    I kick ass
    Chorus:
    (scratching)
    I can feel the funk(x16)(makes me wanna shout, wanna shout)(x4)
    (scratching)wanna shout
