Sample the Funk

Sup?
 $hort Dogg back in the house bitch!
 And it don't stop to the beat
 Ain't no thang but a chicken wing
 We gonna do it like this one mo' time
 Straight from Oakland, California I'm back again
 Short Dogg's on the mic 'bout to mack and pimp
 We got flavor at the Dangerous Crew camp
 Save ya money, can't use them food stamps
 Other crews like to sample and mix
 But our crew, we just play that shit
 Live, drums, bass, keys
 Niggas don't like it, you can get these
 Stuck in the back of your throat
 Fuckin with a pimp named Sir Too $hort
 We could have sampled the Luke but we didn't
 I'd rather treat ya like a ho and start pimpin
 When will you other brothers realise?
 Can't fuck with my crew better feel your eyes
 'Cause you must be blind if you can't see
 And I'mma say this shit quite frankly
 I give a fuck when freestylers step up
 I don't do it, tell you 'bout it on the next cut
 'Cause right now we gotta feel the flow
 And make sure we keep it real slow
 Just like the motherfuckin' Dangerous Crew
 We gettin' funky like it's 1972
 Still puffin on them zags, dressed like pimps
 And ask the Ohio Players once again
 Can we sample the funk?
 ♪
 You know we don't wanna wear it out
 We just wanna lil' piece, you know what I'm saying?
 We ain't goin loopy, we're goin freaky
 We gonna funk it track for track
 Dangerous Crew style
 Ant Banks let me flip this one more time
 Ya ready?
 All you brand new rappers got a new flow
 You ain't samplin' James Brown no mo'
 Probably try to sample Cameo
 Parliament Funkadelic, you scandalous ho
 You stole it, Ossie Brothers, Bark Kays
 Barry White, Isaac Hayes
 Have you heard the term, "Sample clearance?"
 Start the nigga who wrote it, would never hear it
 Now we're suin' your ass for sure
 Got you spendin' all ya money 'cause you need a lawyer
 You got problems and ya need ta solve em
 Ya shouldn't of sampled wouldn't of had them problems
 If you'd have played your own shit
 You wouldn't be broke, you would have made ya long grip, bitch
 But that's irrelevant now, my friend
 'Cause they done wiped you clean like Ant Banks' Benz
 Sittin' on some three-piece AMG's
 Better find you a sample, you ain't playin' these
 Kinda beats, so funky make your fingers pop
 If you can't find a sample you ain't got
 Not one damn thing for a nigga to ride to
 But I been gettin' funky since I was in high school
 Growin' up in that Bootsy's rubber band
 In '76, seen a mother ship land
 Nothin but funk all in your face
 I like to slow it way down in ass and bass
 'Cause that's how we be layin' tracks
 Just flip the funky rhyme and start sayin' raps
 Get funky with Ant Banks, PeeWee, Shorty B
 Father D, Dope D, Tony T
 The motherfuckin' Dangerous Crew
 And that's the drop from the dime, we'll change the groove
 Just to sample the funk
 Bitch!
 ♪
 That's right, my nigga PeeWee friggin the keyboards
 Tony T on the drums, Shorty B on the bass
 Ant Banks on the mixing boards, $hort Dogg on the vocals
 Right now you know the story of Too $hort baby
 First started rappin' in 1980
 I got more game than monopoly
 Now I'm makin' money there ain't nobody stoppin' me
 Used to be local 'til I signed with Jive, man
 Used to like to sample now I'm rollin' with live band
 Now that I finally did this shit
 I'm makin' one more album and then I quit
 And only one thing could make me say I'm not
 And that's one million dollars on the spot
 Upfront cash, money, no compromise
 No schemes, no scandals, don't front and lie
 Just pay the man in full
 Thirty years old, torch the bull
 Ain't givin' shit up but the funk
 Let these record companies know what the fuck I want
 'Cause they been fuckin' black folks right from the start
 When you sign that line tear your ass apart
 For every one you get they gettin' five
 Niggas gettin' paid but it don't seem right
 I know where I came from and know where I'm at
 And my last two albums don't sound real bad
 I'm Too $hort baby, I ain't no punk
 I'm just askin' "Can I sample the funk?"
 So can we sample the funk?
 Bitch!
 ♪
 Yeah, you know what I'm sayin'?
 I'm talkin' to George Clinton, Bootsy Collins
 My nigga Suga Foot and Diamond from the Ohio Players
 I'm talkin' to James Brown
 We know where the funk came from
 Johnny Guitar Watson
 ♪
 To all y'all niggas, y'all can sample all you want
 Here we go loopty-loo
 'Cause the Dangerous Crew goin' to get funky like this
 Flip it!
