[MR. FUNKYMAN] Well, I be the funk-ular ultra-funk-ular gamma-funk-ular Half you rappers out there couldn't see me with binoculars Anyone who thinks he'll take me out is just a dreamer If you think you're the bomb, then I'm Hiroshima When I die, I hope they're making records up in heaven On a scale of one to ten, I'm like 100-5th-11 and sticks-and-stones-may-break-my-bones but if you ever try to dis the Lords, then it's on I go on beat... off beat... then jump right back on time I drop another rhyme and talk about your fat ugly mama (EEWWW!)

[DOITALL:] Well, times have changed not only for the urban but also for suburban We get props, we're deservin' From black kids, to white kids I see them bob their heads, from the blond hair, to redhead I even seen a dread So now it doesn't matter as the clock winds down with the tic and the toc because they love the sound But people 'round your area say you sell out because you sell a million copies and your tour goes BAAAAOOWW! So do it for yourself, and do it for the 'hood, but do it from the heart, 'cause that's when it's good Now tell me what's gonna happen after the rappin' when the clock ticks away and ain't nothin' happenin'... [MR. FUNKYMAN] .I remember way back in the days on my block when the kids used to meet up in the hallway and rock on Martin Luther King's boulevard with P.C., WISE, EASY ED, and my brother HARD BERNARD used to hit the ill rhymes from the head while I'd hit the beat on the wall until my hands turned red You had the SHORTY TWO M.C.'S, THE EDUCATED THREE, I have to give them props for helping me be me Now I'm the one who's educated I suffered but I made it I only write rhymes that will be appreciated No matter how large I get the fire still burns 'Cause from the 'hood I came and to the 'hood I must return...
