Machine Gun Funk (DJ Premier Version)

[Intro] Yeah [Verse 1] So you wanna be hardcore? With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats in your raps But I can't feel that hardcore Appeal that you're screamin', maybe I'm dreamin' This ain't Christopher Williams Still some MC's gotta feel one, caps I gotta peel some To let niggas know! (Let 'em know) That if you fuck with Big and Heavy I get up in that ass like a wedgie Says who? Says me! The lyrical Niggas sayin', "Biggie off the street, it's a miracle" Left the drugs alone, took the thugs along with me! Just for niggas actin' shifty Sticks and stones break bones, but the gat'll kill you quicker 'Specially when I'm drunk off the liquor Smokin' funk by the boxes, packin' Glocks-es It's natural to eat you niggas like chocolates The funk, baby! [Chorus] I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk [Verse 2] All I want is bitches! Big booty bitches! Used to sell crack so I could stack my riches Now I pack gats to stop all the snitches From stayin' in my business, what is this relentless Approach to know if I'm broke or not? Just 'cause I joke and smoke a lot, don't mean I don't tote the Glock 16 shots for my niggas in the pen Until we motherfuckin' meet again Huh! I'm doin' rhymes now, fuck the crimes now Come on the Ave., I'm real hard to find now 'Cause I'm knee deep in the beats In the Land Cruiser Jeep with the MAC-10 by the seats For the jackers, the jealous-ass crackers in the **** I'll make you prove that it's bulletproof Hold your head 'cause when you hit the bricks I got gin, mad blunts and bitches suckin' dick The funk, baby! [Chorus] I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk (Uh) I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk [Verse 3] So I guess you know the story — the rap side, crack side How I smoke funk, smack bitches on the backside Bed-Stuy! The place where my head rests Fifty-shot clip if a nigga wan' test The rocket launcher, Biggie stomped ya High as a motherfuckin' helicopter That's why I pack a nina, fuck a misdemeanor Beatin' motherfuckers like Ike beat Tina "What's love got to do..." When I'm rippin' all through your whole crew? Strapped like Bamboo, but I don't sling guns I got bags of funk and it's sellin' by the tons Niggas wanna know how I live the mack life! Makin' money, smokin' mics like crack pipes! It's type simple and plain to maintain I add a little funk to the brain The funk, baby! [Chorus] I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
