Ladies and Gentlemen
As you know we have something
Special at here Birdland this evening
A recording for Blue Note Records
Yeah yeah yeah what's that
Yeah yeah yeah
Funky funky
How 'bout a big hand now
Wait wait a minute
Groovy groovy
Jazzy funky pounce bounce dance
As we dip in the melodic sea
The rhythm keeps flowin
It drips to MC
Sweet sugar pop
Sugar pop rocks it pops ya
Don't stop till the sweet beat drops
I show and prove as a stick in move
Hear the poems recited on
Top of the groove
Smooth mind floating like a butterfly
Notes start to float
Suttle like a lullabye
Brace yourself as the beat hits ya
Dip trip flip fantasia
Yeah yeah yeah
What's that
Diddi-diddi bop
Yeah
Diddi-diddi bop
Funky funky
Feel the beat drop
Jazz and hip hop
Drippin in the dome
And mix is on the lock
Funk and fusion a fly illusion
Keeps ya coastin on the rhythm we cruisin
Up down round and round
Round the found
But nevertheless ya gots to get down
Finesse the freak
Thru the beat so unique
Ya move your feet
The sweat from the heat
Back to the fact I'm the mack
And I know that
The way I kick the rhymes
Some would call me a poet
Poem steady goin on
With the sweet sound
Caught in the groove
In Fantasia I'm found
Trip the tour upon the rhymes they soar
To an infinite height
To the realm of the hardcore
Here we go off I take ya
Dip trip flip fantasia
Yeah yeah yeah
What's that
Diddi-diddi bop
Yeah
Diddi-diddi bop
Funky funky
Yeah yeah yeah
What's that
Diddi-diddi bop
Yeah
Diddi-diddi bop
Funky funky
Jump to the jam
Boogy woogy jam slam
Bust the dialect
I'm the man in command
Come flow with the sounds
Of the mighty mic masta
When I rhyme on the mic
I bring a sucka disasta
Beaucoup bucks and I still rock Nike
With the razzle dazzle star
I might be
Scribble scrabble on the microphone
I babble
As I flip the funky words
Into a puzzle
Yes yes yes on and on as I flex
Get with the flow words manifest
Feel the vibe from here to Asia
Dip trip flip fantasia
Get on start
C'mon C'mon C'mon C'mon C'mon
C'mon get me more of
That funky horn
What's that
Yeah
Funky funky
Diddi-diddi bop
