Headcase - The Funk [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Just ride with me, y'all
Yeah, just vibe with me y'all
Yeah

[Verse One]
It's time to break away from the normal routine
And get rid of labels like underground and mainstream
I'm here to educate you on the funk
I wanna hear it when it bumps from the amps in the trunk
But it's more then a genre, it's a feeling you conjure
Even if you try to fight it, in the end, you will be conquered
It gets the body moving, it'll make you lose control
When life gets you down, the funk can soothe your soul
It's a spiritual awakening in musical form
I'm spitting flames on the track to keep your heart warm
They say it's the devil's work, but I say the opposite
When someone really put their soul on record, God's in it
Critics try to find flaws in it
The degradation of this current nation, they say Hip-Hop is causing it
But nothing could be further from the truth
When Hip-Hop is laced with The Funk, it brings the best out the youth
I turn the radio off, cause nothing they play inspires me
But I know the Funk can fix this state of society
When the bass is booming and the melody is smooth
We can be one nation under a groove
So wave you hands in the air if you're with me
Together we can bring positivity back to this city
It's all about health, wealth, and knowledge of self
And if you want the funk, you don't need to look anywhere else
Cause...

[Hook](2x)
If you need it, we got it
Put us on any stage, we'll rock it
No matter what you say, you can't stop it
"I'm getting down with the Funk!"

[Verse Two]
Even though the funk's been missing from most modern compositions
Scottie Royal's got the beats that make folks wanna listen
And with Headcase on the mic, the formula is complete
I give the people what they need with my lyrical feats
I got that breakneck delivery, yours is stop-and-go
I married Hip-Hop but cheated on her with Rock and Roll
I started fooling around with a little blues and a lot of soul
Now I'm the jack of all trades, musically unstoppable
Funk what you heard, these rappers stay fronting
They say "Keep it real!" when they 'bout as real as the Great Pumpkin
They're scared to be themselves so they all act the same
I'm the Mothership Connection, y'all are just some Maggot Brains
This is only a little taste, something you can savor
I'll kick you out the kitchen if you can't stand the flavor
From James Brown to George Clinton, I've studied them all
For the last four decades, the funk has evolved
Into something more than music, it's powerful force
It radiates in all of us, our heart and soul is the source
It combines health, wealth, and knowledge of self
Now if you want the funk, you don't need to look anywhere else
Cause...

[Hook](2x)
