Nickel Bags - Digable Planets

The Bloom, the Swoon, the Sugars on your block

The Planets land in flesh in the corners of New York

The ghetto, the meadow, the Mr. Butter flew

The Honeybugs dug and licked the honey dew

The sun, the kiss, the funk for a bliss

The lips with the soul and some jazz for ya hips

The puff, the buzz, the lids be heavy slick

The Mecca get a rush when the beats be very thick

The hands, the feet, the brown baby treat

The femmes fumble loose and drink the doodlejuice

The steps, the flams, the Planets goddamn

The peoples get a grip with a tape from a jam

A nickel bag of funk

A nickel bag of funk

A nickel bag of funk

A nickel bag of funk

A nickel bag of funk

A nickel bag of funk

A nickel bag of funk

A nickel bag of funk

The big, the fat, the cool cool cats

The psychedelic soul puts the Planets on the map

The chic, the love, the far out name

The lack of the funk’s the main why we came

The boogie gets done, the colors won’t run

The funk hits the square, the kids gotta come

The pizza with the pop, the west 4th stop

The crew after crew that do the grasshop

The true cool is black, the new school is fat

The beats by the ounce, the funk by the pack

The groove is the fix, the jitterbugs fix

The hanging off the butts with the fat sole kicks

That’s my nickle bag of funk

My nickle bag of funk

A nickle bag of funk

A nickle bag of funk

Check me up I said

A nickle bag of funk

A nickle bag of funk

Oh damn

A nickle bag of funk

A nickle bag of funk

The wide, the hip, dig it it’s the trip

The loops, the scene and the funkifying it

The sounds, the pounds, the stacks, the flair

The baggy baggy jeans, the knotty knotty hair

The twinkle in the eye, the kids that livin' fly

The crew from the sky, the stuff that gets you high

The action, the work from the rhyme

We goes the whole nine

The papers won’t rot, the vapors get got

The streets give the buzz the funk up your block

The opium groove, the smacked out soul

The kickin' it live the fat gotta roll

With my nickel bag of funk

My nickel bag of funk

A nickle bag of funk

A nickle bag of funk

Yeah, it’s a nickle bag of funk

A nick bag of funk

A nickle bag of funk

A nickle bag of funk

A nickel bag, a nickel bag Ladybug’ll hit ya with a nickel bag

A nickel bag, a nickel bag Butterfly’ll hit ya with a nickel bag

A nickel bag, a nickel bag Doodlebug’ll hit ya with his nickel bag

A nickel bag, a nickel bag DPs always hit you with they nickel bag
