My Funky Roots
Melody Lewis
February 23, 2004 ã
First Verse
We?re here to let you know
About a place we like to go
Where funky feelings flow
When we?re tired of rhythm and blues
A place to go and find
A better frame of mind
Come spend a little time
Ain?t nothing but something to do
If you start to slip
Before you lose your grip
Just take that mighty trip
Cause you ain?t got nothing to lose
It?s ok to scream and shout
And let it all hang out
The place I?m talking about
Is back to my funky roots
Say it!
Hook___________________________________________________________
If you wanna know
Where you can go ---HOLLA!
Guaranteed to be
Funky for sho? ---SAY WHAT-AH!
Come on and go
Come on and go ---SING!
BACK TO MY FUNKY ROOTS!

Second Verse
We remember when
The funky thing was in
Well it?s funkin? time again
It?s long overdue
Now we know you know
Because we told you so
Let all your homies know
It?s time to do the do
I can feel the funky flow
From my head down to my toes
From my Angela Afro
To my Betty Davis boots
So get up on the floor
Do what you came here for
If you?re wanting more
We?re gon? give it to you
Say it again!
Hook___________________________________________________________
If you wanna know
Where you can go ---HOLLA!
Guaranteed to be
Funky for sho? ---SAY WHAT-AH!
Come on and go
Come on and go ---SING!
BACK TO MY FUNKY ROOTS!

Turnaround
It don?t matter how you get there, it?s where you arrive that counts
Just be prepared for anything cause funkin; knows no bounds
All you need is a fat bottom; that?s your ticket in the place
A funky breakdown with a thumpin? bass in your face
{Breakdown}
Repeat Hook???
