Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I pledge allegiance
To all my homies who may never love the home and never will
I give my body and I give my soul to the funk
May the funk never end
[Verse 2]
I pledge allegiance to paper chases
To hustlers who'll be steady pulling capers
Peace and blessings, may the sun always shine on you
I'm serving paper, see ya later
I guess that's one more thing, I can't be faded
You can test me, get discombobulated
Ain't no question, I'm gon' fuck with this
I do it for the funk of it
[Verse 3]
I pledge allegiance
To all my homies who may never love the home and never will
I give my body and I give my soul to the funk
May the funk never end
[Verse 4]
I pledge allegiance to my homies who keep it gangsta
Fuck all the haters, they can't stop this groove
I pledge allegiance to the game 'cause it got me balling
Game don't wait so I'm not stalling, I'm still dissing, she's still calling
[Verse 5]
See this is front line, no turning back now
I'm 'bout to score, this is war on the track now
Give me my vest and my ammo and my mac now
I'm 'bout to spit it and Lord, I'ma get it in the worse way
Slay competition, move the opposition, back wake the fuck up
'Cause when I get beyond enemy lines
I might snipe that ass like John Kennedy's mind
Thou shall not get caught, that's the remedy
[Verse 6]
Disinfect gun wounds with my last bottle of Hennessy
Bleed to let the seeds remember my memories
It's killed to be killed, here son, that's the penalty
Ride for the front, cry for the funk
In the heat of the night, I die for the funk
Pharoahe, when I'm six feet deep, there's no grieving
Salute the noblest troop
And pledge allegiance 'cause
[Verse 7]
I pledge allegiance
To all my homies who may never love the home and never will
I give my body and I give my soul to the funk
May the funk never end
[Verse 8]
I pledge allegiance
To all my homies who may never love the home and never will
I give my body and I give my soul
