Carmen On Top

7.3 seconds 2 funkdown and counting

6..5.. I can't wait! Cut it!

Yeah

(Carmen, Carmen on top) {x4}

I have got a bone 2 pick - Why?

Cuz I'm sick of living in the slowest lane

I am what U call a hip-roarin' dame (U tell 'em baby!)

Let me tell U, say I am convinced without a guess

The possibility of a game in a previous life

In other words I've been here before

That's why when I party I kick down every door, every door

Nothing is ridiculous, so when the funk is sticking 2 the floor (What?)

In other words, the music's what I party 4 (This is your house, Carmen)

And with a beat like this, how could U ever resist? (Ho!)

Jump into the skin and get into the real shit (Ah!)

CHORUS:

Carmen, Carmen on top (Please don't stop)

Carmen, Carmen on top (Please don't stop)

Carmen, Carmen on top (Please don't stop)

Carmen, Carmen on top

(Tell 'em where U're from, girl)

Ohio - Cincinnati Town

Cuz that's where I was born?

No, that's where I dropped down (Hospital table)

On hospital table, huh

Ready and able from the time they slapped my ass (Woo!)

2 my last high school class (But how funky do U wanna be?)

And destined 2 be funkier than any other just as fast (How fast?)

As he could go (Right)

The C is 4 the car, the M is 4 the men in my shows (Ho!)

This is a family affair

U better hold tight cuz the C is gettin' there

CHORUS

{crowd noise}

Ah yeah

Put your guitar here

Can she take U 2 the top? (Here we go {x2})

Can she take U 2 the top (Oh, oh!)

(U tell 'em Carmen!)

Let me tell U now, I come from a real funky crew

Bootsy from my hometown, I used 2 like [one dude]

(Y'all are crazy) {Bootsy sample}

And I said if I ever got the chance

I wanna make music, make the people dance like that

Another basement low

Thumpin' on the bottom while the Carmen's on the top of the flow

(Go! Go! Go! ...)

I'm wasting' every dame

Ain't never been a slimmie that could ever do quite the same (Mailman)

(Carmen, Carmen, Carmen...)

I think we should have shuffled the top

Now I'm in your party and I ain't go'n stop

CHORUS

(They can't mess with U, baby)

(U tell 'em Carmen)

Let me tell it

(Please don't stop) {repeat till end}

7.3 seconds 2 funkdown and counting

6.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1

Stop!

Carmen, ha ha.. {repeat in loop}
