Postmodern Funk - Scrooge

It was all invented

Artists come, artists go

And groups disbanding

Music stranded

Gotta step in the scene

Like we da last men standing

Gotta hanging

Where’s the ending?

We’re still active

Understanding:

Modern was lame, dumb, ain’t no fun

So I gotta come up

With this postmodern funk, why not?

Don’t need no fame

I keep it real and maintain

Better stop the hate

And blame

Cause it’s my fate

I keep the high rates

It’s all about plates

And numbers on

Let the car go ride

So turned up right now

Watch how I rise and fight

For the good side

Don’t know why

I standing up at midnight

And rapping in a moonlight

But I

Gotta come up, gotta gotta come up

Man, I gotta come up

With this postmodern funk

You tryna give up, tryna tryna give up

Blaming the bad luck

«Excuse me, what?»

You betta stop, cause I tryna come up

I know that it’s hard, but I gotta come up

Gotta come up, gotta gotta come up

With this postmodern funk

We always looking back

But we could look further

Learn the lesson from these murders

Shootings of innocent people

Like in the music, society needs a rebuilding

Stop the killings, violence

Yo, wa, fucking murdera

Stay silent

I… bringing back the time

Full of style

When It was all good

It was alright, it was all fine

Don’t try to hide

G-Funk survived

Multiplied

And you have no roots, you in a brain skydive,

Push a needle to the groove and fly

So give me room, give me room

To let them fools know

How we turn on the lights

Who you fooling?

I’ll be cooling with my homies

Down the block

Wish I could turn back the clock

But it won’t stop

Gotta come up, gotta gotta come up

Man, I gotta come up

With this postmodern funk

You tryna give up, tryna tryna give up

Blaming the bad luck

«Excuse me, what?»

You betta stop, cause I tryna come up

I know that it’s hard, but I gotta come up

Gotta come up, gotta gotta come up

With this postmodern funk

I’m the last of a dying breed

They don’t make 'em like me

OG from the Eastside, 2−5-3

I’m old-school like a Fleetwood Caddy

Hood legend from the block

Fuck a Grammy

I’m in my own lane, pedal to the floor

I give you everything you want

Plus a little more

I keep my head down low:

Ears to the street

Some can lead

I can do this shit in my sleep

Nigga

I was cut from the different cloth

Everyday all-day living like a boss

Fourteen-sevens on my Impala

Three-fifty barking like a rottweiler

It’s the shit we live and die for

What’s that the cycle

When niggas live in trifle

But mama didn’t raise no clown

I’ma real ass nigga

You know how I get down
