Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What you say, brother?
Yeah, bring the funk
Yeah, haha, alright
Yo, man, we got The Pharcyde
You know, they gon' a little rap, you know
They got a new brand of funk, you know?
So we gonna have a
Bro right here, he's gonna come up
He's gon' do a little rhyme, you know?
You know, come on my count
Yo, one, two, three, four
[Verse 2]
My mama told me one day that some real good things would happen
If I practice on my dancin' and I practice on my rappin'
But, before she goes to bed at night, my mama would always pray that
Everything would come together, every dog would have it's day
Now able on the cable, stable when I freak the funk
I got more tricks up my sleeve than Freddie's got junk
No need to do no judo or no kicks like karate
'Cause I can get funky like a baby on a bottle
[Verse 3]
Oh, what the heck
**** just wanna get wrecked to the track
It's brand new and heavy as a Chevy and in fact
The Pharcyde is comin' and I hope we're not wack
But at this point, there's no turnin' back
But to be exact
I've got more flavors than a bucket full of fruit
In ninety-two, we made some cash
In ninety-three, we made the loot
Because the vinyl was delicious, I'm the **** who's ambitious
Michael Ross the genie, he's givin' us three wishes
One, I wanna just jam with yo band
Two, you gotta play it all across the land
Three, the plan is grab the ducats and say fuck it to the critics
Hey now
I was walkin' down the street, bailin' to the beat
Phat beats in head, tennis shoes on my feet
The **** tried to flex, so he had to be smoked
So I shot him in the ass on the downstroke
I shot him in the ass on the downstroke
What?
(Shot him in the ass on the downstroke)
Yeah
(I shot him in the ass on the downstroke)
[Verse 4]
Shot him in the ass on the downstroke
Shot him in the ass on the downstroke
Shot him in the ass on the downstroke
Shot him in the ass on the downstroke
[Verse 5]
Souped on the beat like a bowl of chicken noodles
I love Spanish dishes but no, I'm no Menudo
I can dig kung-fu, I flip hoes like judo
Never date a chick who's mom's name is Bruno
Oh Anna, bonanna, bannana-fana-funo
Yeah, you know Shafino, met her in a trio
Souped my glass, jet flew her out to Rio
I'm somewhat Creole, don't like the man of steel
I'm not a carbon copy but the first draft, jalopy
For real, I used to deal but the fuzz popped me
I had the hydro, but they repo'd my crop
And still, I chill like scotch on the rocks
'Cause I just gets paid for the hardcore props
[Verse 6]
How long can you freak the funk?
How long can you freak the funk?
I separate the good stuff from the junk (Freak the funk)
Yo, how long can you freak the funk?
Come on, yeah (Freak the funk)
It's alright, yo (Freak the funk)
[Verse 7]
I swear to tell the whole truth and nothin' but the whole truth
Ever since I was a little snot nosed, snaggletooth whippersnapper
I knew to become a rapper with flavor that of chocolate fudge
Here comes the judge and the jury from the fury got me on trial
'Cause I never copy and and I got me own style
A juvenile professional 'cause nobody comes, there's too many shows
And now the police got my fingerprints and profile
Oh, shit
[Verse 8]
Soul flower
Soul flower
Soul flower
Soul flower
Soul flower
Soul flower
Soul flower
Soul flower
[Verse 9]
We need it
(Soul flower)
Got to have it
(Soul flower)
[Verse 10]
You know you want it
(Soul flower)
We got to have it
(Soul flower)
Give it to me
(Soul flower)
Don't you love soul flower?
Yeah
Come on, one, two, three, four, hit it
