Funky Design

Just when U thought it was safe 2 go outside

I hit your ass with another funky design

And it's real good

U thought it wasn't when U shoulda

Checked yourself before U got another foot in your ass

And now it comes 2 pass another phat shot from the higher class

That's right, U're still a rookie, see

Kickin' it with the grown folks in the wrong key

Honey please, U need 2 find

Somebody that'll hip U 2 the funky design

CHORUS:

The funky design

The funky design

The funky design

Shouts out 2 the rookies, put it in the bank

And let it gain a cent or 2 until it just stanks

And flows, your nose will know

When it's all wrinkled, then it's good 2 go

On the fire, I would be a liar

If I didn't say I wanna take U higher

And hip U 2 the one-eyed bass

Listen 2 the solo while it pleads my case

Honey please, U need 2 find

Somebody that'll hip U 2 the funky design

CHORUS

And just when U thought it was over, it started up again

Kickin' so loud that it's sure 2 frighten and win

U try 2 run 4 cover

The girl that U're with wanna be my lover

And the DJ instead of kickin' a favorite tune

Scratches on the record that reverberates the room

Like a train crash, U better save yo' ass

The funky design is back and it's bad

Housequake, oh no, I'll kill

Any rookie dumb enough 2 let that nigga spill

Out any speaker, see?

I'm the motherfucker now and if U please

U need 2 need 2 need 2 find

Somebody that'll hip U 2 the funky design

CHORUS {repeat to fade}
