The Notorious B.I.G.
Machine Gun Funk (Parliament Sample Removed)
[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
So you wanna be hardcore?
With your hat to the back
Talkin' about the gats in ya raps
But I can't feel that hardcore appeal that you're screamin'
Maybe I'm dreamin' (I'm dreamin')
This ain't Christopher Williams
Still some MC's gotta feel one, caps I gotta peel some
To let n***as 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
N***as sayin', "Biggie off the street, it's a miracle!"
Left the drugs alone, took the thugs along with me
Just for n***as actin' shifty
Sticks and stones break bones, but the gat'll kill ya quicker
Especially when I'm drunk off the liquor
Smokin' funk by the boxes, packin' Glocks-es
It's natural to eat you n***as 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
Sixteen shots for my n***as 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 n***a 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
N***as 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
Funk, baby
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
'94, got in store, Junior M.A.F.I.A. in the motherfuckin' house
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
Mo Bee got beats
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
Bad Boy in full effect
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
Biggie Smalls, uh
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
The funk, baby, machine gun funk, baby
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
The funk, baby
[Outro]
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
All you hoes know who it is
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
Peace and love, uh
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
Uh
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
Yeah
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
Uh
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
Uh, uh
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
