The Funky Design

Just when U thought it was safe 2 go outside
I hit your ass with another funky design
And it's real good
U thought it wasn't when U shoulda
Checked yourself before U got another foot in your ass
And now it comes 2 pass another phat shot from the higher class
That's right, U're still a rookie, see
Kickin' it with the grown folks in the wrong key
Honey please, U need 2 find
Somebody that'll hip U 2 the funky design

CHORUS:
The funky design
The funky design
The funky design

Shouts out 2 the rookies, put it in the bank
And let it gain a cent or 2 until it just stanks
And flows, your nose will know
When it's all wrinkled, then it's good 2 go
On the fire, I would be a liar
If I didn't say I wanna take U higher
And hip U 2 the one-eyed bass
Listen 2 the solo while it pleads my case

Honey please, U need 2 find
Somebody that'll hip U 2 the funky design

CHORUS

And just when U thought it was over, it started up again
Kickin' so loud that it's sure 2 frighten and win
U try 2 run 4 cover
The girl that U're with wanna be my lover
And the DJ instead of kickin' a favorite tune
Scratches on the record that reverberates the room
Like a train crash, U better save yo' ass
The funky design is back and it's bad
Housequake, oh no, I'll kill
Any rookie dumb enough 2 let that nigga spill
Out any speaker, see?
I'm the motherfucker now and if U please
U need 2 need 2 need 2 find
Somebody that'll hip U 2 the funky design

CHORUS {repeat to fade}

Down this cold road (Do U wanna)
Into this web of deception (Spiders and snakes and bears)
Money made but never spent, never mentioned (Golden parachute)
Ah let's make a toast, 2 the host, 2 the man with the most (Do U wanna)
They worship U, all up under U, applauding (Golden parachute)
One who in truth created nothing, nothing
In essence, a fraud

Hit U In The Socket

Girls out there (Mm mm mm)
Let me tell U a story
U got these men goin’ around here
And all they wanna do is hit U in the socket

Like a thief in the night, he’ll come 2 U
Pick U right off a lonely avenue
Telling U stories, telling U lies
Anything 2 cover up an alibi

Then your best friend will give U the bottom line
She said bein’ his lover is just a waste of time
And she should know a little bit more than maybe
Cuz he left her with a baby

(He wants 2 hit U in the socket)
He wanna hit 'cha now
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
Ain’t that a shame?
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Don’t U do it now
(But he can’t put shoes on your feet)
Lookie here

Just like the serpent when he spoke unto Eve
He’s the only one he wants U 2 believe (Oh yeah)
And every time Friday comes, his mood'll change
So he can have a reason 2 be with the boys again

Then your best friend’ll give U the ever so shockin’ news
About your beloved serpent, how U thought he belonged 2 U
Well, he’s got another couple swingin’ from the vine
And U’re just home cryin’

Boo hoo

(But he can’t put shoes on your feet)
Lookie here, huh

He’ll tell U, "Baby, if U can’t stand by me
I've got 2 drop U and chop U like a tree" (Drop U, oh yeah)
Don’t waste your time, girl, dealin’ with that
U oughta take the time 2 show him (what?) where the door is at (Hey)

(He wants 2 hit U in the socket)
He wanna hit 'cha now
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
Ain’t that a shame?
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Don’t do it, don’t do it
(But he can’t put shoes on your feet)
He wanna, he wanna hit U up in the socket
(He wants 2 hit U in the socket)
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
Listen here now

Never bought U nothin’ but heartaches and pain
When U ain’t nothin’ but another link in a chain
Take all your money, buy his alibi
He’ll sell U off every time

(He wants 2 hit U in the socket)
Don’t U think he won’t
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
Ain’t that a shame?
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Oh, mess between your sheets now
(But he can’t put shoes on your feet)
Can’t do it, can’t do it

(He wanna, he wanna, he wants 2 hit U in the socket)
He’ll... gonna steal U like the thief in the night
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
And ah... when he got want he want, he’ll be clean out of sight
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Oh, your best friend will tell U better than me
(But he can’t put shoes on your feet)
Don’t think she won’t, sugar

(He wanna, he wanna, he wants 2 hit U in the socket)
Just check your own backyard and U will see
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
Every Friday, his mood'll change (I know that)

Then Monday, he’ll come back 4 some of your sweet thing
(But he can’t put shoes on your feet)
Boo hoo

(He wanna, he wanna, he wants 2 hit U in the socket)
Boo hoo
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)

Judas Smile

CHORUS:
U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If U thought that U could put me down
And not get a page in my book
U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
Tryin' 2 ball, U will fall
And never get a second look

Before me there was nothing
Without the eye U cannot see
Just a form in the darkness
I brought the light and U believed
With everyone of my creations
A future story would be told (Change it up)
I tried 2 change it up with temptation (With temptation)
But all your claims must be sold (Walk away with soul, soul)

4 every soul there's a buyer (There's a buyer)
4 every action there's a price (How much U pay for that, dude?)
4 every option there's a tryer
But when the claim run out, ain't nothing nice
That's why...

CHORUS

I changed your name, it didn't suit ya
I did the same 4 a little while (The same 4 a little while)
The day your love led 2 revenue (Talkin' about the money)
In return a Judas smile (Hahaha, U gave me)
What I am will never fade away
Like U being funky — it'll never be
Woo hoo, (What I am) What I am U will finally see (U will see)
Then U will admit 2 4 part harmony

CHORUS
(Hoodwinked)
(Ah, come on)

1979 times 2 or maybe a bit 'fo that
Me, your sister and yo' brother got paid when the man let 'em up 2 bat
Whaddya do, do U act like a fool and wonder why your people disown ya?
Sang any song Mr. Charlie wanna sang, see around here we don't know ya

They'd have 2 take me out (Okay)
4 treating B like a B if she ain't one
And if she is it's no good like a rat in the hood
We gonna give her a Bible and then some
Come on! (Uh)

The chocolate invasion starts here {x3}

The chocolate invasion
Neapolitan born 2 rule
I never was fond of a dumb blonde

Here's what we think — U're the weakest link
Get ready 'cause we coming with the old school (Old school)
Old school (Old school) {x2}
Come on, come on — give it 2 me, baby
(That's music, baby)
(Keep doin' it)

Ahh Mr. Aussieman what makes ya think I'll work 4 U?
Paying 15 cents on the dollar

Pinocchio mentality on levels more than 9
From now on the only piece U'll ever get from me's my mind

Chocolate invasion starts here
Chocolate invasion starts here (Ahh)
The chocolate invasion starts here {x2}

Now wait a minute
How dare U call a robot 'Mecca'?

Everyone claiming no sin
Act the fool if U wanna
Guess the quickest way out (Tell 'em) is the way in

(Bamboozled) U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took

My Medallion

Uh uh, mm mm
Say fellas
U ever have one them girls that just... bad?
Know what I mean?
Nah, I ain't talkin' about fine, I'm talkin' about bad
Cuss all the time, steal... man she rob her own moms
Down at the post office got 2 pictures
I'm talkin' about one of Bebe's kids, y'all — bad!
Hear me?
Oh, she fine 2... fine

Don't know why, I want that girl {x2}

'Twas the middle of the summer
Rather late in the day
This pretty thang, she walked up 2 me
She said she was good 2 play
She told me 2 close my eyes
So she could get a kiss
I said, "Sure, honey" and obliged (Sure, honey)
Girl snatched my medallion and called me a bitch, running!

Don't know why, I want that girl {x4}

I found out her place of employment
Dry cleaning — "We do fine" (Ha ha ha ha ha...)
2 manifest a little unenjoyment in her life
Was all that was running through the middle of my mind
There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise
See my baby, she gave me that medallion
And it, uh, U know, it mean a lot 2 me
So, so I walked up in that piece with a disguise on
And I said, "Hey!
I don't know what your name or your game is
But U better get your G-hind down on the floor
Cuz U see, I'm in a mood 2 do something koo-koo 2 U"
So she gave me that kiss and ran out the back door, ow!

Don't know why, I want that girl
Don't know why, but I want that girl
Don't know why, I want that girl
Don't know why, but I want that girl

Oh, turning around the corner
Thought that she would get by, huh — much 2 her surprise
Michael Yardbird dropped both his crutches downstairs
Tripped baby on her backside
Holdin' on the banister, sliding down slow
U know he about 2 fall down all them stairs, yo
My medallion's on the center line
She dropped my piece in the middle of the street
The taxi cab about 2 run it down (Beep beep, oh yeah)
But when the bling-bling caught the driver's eyes
He slammed on his brakes and jumped out his ride
And as he was just about 2 put his fat neck up in my jewels
(Uhn uhn uhn, nigga!)
Yardbird bounced down the stairs of that house
Crushing the bad girl like the Union Army crushed the Deep South
And when the driver turned his head 2 get his peek on
I entered at my medallion and broke the other way
Sister was limpin' but she was kinda good 2 play

Don't know why I want that girl {x4}
(Don't, man)
(Why)

for so long and brought them 2gether effortlessly."

Props n' pounds, props n' pounds
Love 4 one another is the only sound 2day
Uh, positivity is the only way

CHORUS:
Props n' pounds, props n' pounds
Love 4 one another is the only sound 2day
Negative people don't get 2 play
Props n' pounds, props n' pounds
Why U wanna holla when U know what the Bible say?
Positivity is the only way

Once again when the coin is tossed and lands upon the sea
Unsuspecting lives are lost when they didn't have 2 be
When the book is opened and the Son condemns them all
Pagan holidays, crucifixes — $100 tears will fall

CHORUS
(Hey)
(No play)
(U know it)

All the ones still in the game never give me pounds
Egotists 2 proud 2 say they're the opposite of found
Worrying about the validity of the ruler's crown
When everyone ought 2 be in line giving props n' pounds

CHORUS
(Hey hey hey)
(Ooow)
(Hey hey hey...)

Props n' pounds {x3}

Once again when the money get tossed
Never gonna see NPG floss
Keeping U happy is the only cost
Love God and never will your life will be lost
Listen 2 the words that will save every one
Safe sex campaign taught about a gun
With CON as the prefix, suffix be the DOM
Look at 'em both and tell me something
What's in the Trojan Horse lubrication?
Nothing goes in my woman 'cept the Son
Rewind

" ... I mean he's just one of the greatest live performers there is.
But all this other stuff, the attitude, going on around it, I mean U can be
a great musician and not have the right kind of approach. And Prince has the
right approach 2. ...I think the gift of simplicity is like a keynote of art.
I mean, he doesn't, he-he knows when to stop... usually."

Props n' pounds {x2}
Props n' pounds, props n' pounds {x4}
(Hey hey hey hey hey)

Props n' pounds, props n' pounds
Love 4 one another is the only sound 2day

Yeah

Ain't gonna stop till everybody gone

Or play the fool?

Silicon

Welcome 2 the slaughterhouse

Silicon
Rope of silicon
Just a rope of silicon
The rope of silicon

One day U'll get outside the doo-rag
When U really want 2 contemplate this, jacked up (Jacked up)
Paranormal situation that your people got into
Can I hip U?
Long ago who considered the outcome?
Now I'm thinking that a cat like U would be troublesome
And sock U in the mind tangling curriculum
Guaranteed 2 leave U in a state of delirium
While all along teaching they kids in the valley 2 become unlike U:
broke and dumb

Just a rope of silicon
Rope of silicon
Just a rope of silicon
Rope of silicon

On a magical rope of silicon
U can bet that they'll be chillin' in Babylon
Thinking about a way that they can split the proton
While U eating all the bloody chicken and dead prawn
Mickey D. shake and a filet mignon
Swearing up and down U the picture of health, now come on!

Just a rope of silicon (Dance)
Just a rope of silicon
Rope of silicon
U're just a rope of silicon (U)

2 the slaughterhouse

Leave that blood alone
Don't U know that dead blood kills interferons
Making the immune system victim 2 whereupon
Any known virus can boot up and log on
ww.U.com

CHORUS:
Rope of silicon
Just a rope of silicon
Rope of silicon
Just a rope of silicon

Rope of silicon {x3}
Just a rope of silicon
Now U've found me, now that U're here
Let's talk about the U in this con
If U're getting bored don't front, just yawn
This is the kind of stuff that requires patience
Never mind the rhyme just relax and wax the song
That on and on and on and on
Ain't gonna stop 'till the early mornin'
Break it down, later on come break down, y'all
What?

Dance {x5}
(Dance on the funk)
Just dance
(Dance on the funk)
Dance
(Dance on the funk)
Just dance
(Dance on the funk)

CHORUS
Rope of silicon
Just a rope of silicon
Just a rope...

This is why U was looking 4 me? Then check it
Let's talk about the U in this con
If U're getting bored don't front, just yawn
Cuz this is the kind of stuff that requires patience
Don't think, just wax on
If U are the eye that is the pawn
U beget the dead fruit of Armageddon
Thick skin reigns in the realm of the pseudonym
While the blows taken by the silly con
The family does well with God 2 keep it strong
Never a paradox, never a hexagon
U plus he or she keep going on
But with another one of U in the title of this song

Goes on and on and on and on and on and on

CHORUS

Dance, dance on the funk {x10}
Dance {x2}

Splash

I called U on the phone
U knew it was me all alone
U didn't even say hello
Cuz U don't need words 2 let me know
All the things that U do 2 me
U fulfill my every fantasy

CHORUS:
Splash — I'm under your power
Splash — I could go 4 hours
Splash — U could devour me
And I'd only want U more

Oh, when U make love 2 me
I witness things I never thought I'd see
Cherry sugar blue to green (Into green)
Fireworks and rain in every scene
Oh, I love it when U play with me
Ask your mama if U can stay here with me (Stay)

CHORUS

Our love is a real one
2gether we'll have so much fun

U go from room 2 room
Leaving traces of your sweet perfume
If I could, I'd bottle it
Everybody should know the feelin' I get
When I'm in your cool embrace
Your lips, your arms, your legs, your face

CHORUS {x2}

I'd want U more and more and more

Van Gogh

Can U give me true love?
Do U know what love is?
Can U give me true love?
U're hidin' from yourself
Can U give me true love?
Do U know what love is?
Can U give me true love?

4 someone who's never lost 4 words
U're quiet now, how can that be? (How can that be?)
Just because I wanna know your heart
Tell me now, is that selfish of me? (Is that selfish of me?)

CHORUS:
Loving U is like loving a rare Van Gogh
I see what U want me 2 see
The more I get closer 2 U
The farther U get from me

Introduce me 2 your demons
I won't let them hurt U, no no no
Trust me I'll be here and all the pain I'll undo
All the planets say I'm supposed 2 be with U

CHORUS

Can U give me true love?

So much sadness in the world
We need solace 2 get by
Real peace is no result of wealth
U've got 2 know your inner-self
Nothing's lost if we don't try

Don't U wanna?
Don't U wanna? (Try)
Don't U wanna try?

And I've waited 4 so long
7 years and I'm still holding on
So much love we're missin'
A million tender kisses
But U won't let it be (Let it be)

Loving U is like loving a rare Van Gogh
I see what U want me 2 see (See what U want me 2 see)
The more I want U closer
The farther U get from me (Farther, farther, farther away from me)

My love is soaring on the clouds that eagles fly
My love is watching where an angel kisses souls good-bye
My love is waiting where the sands of time and oceans kiss the shore
Wherever U are my love is now and forever more
Do U know what love is? (Do U know what love is?)

Loving U is like loving a rare Van Gogh {x2}

Loving U is like loving a rare Van Gogh
The more I get closer 2 U
The farther U get from me

When I Lay My Hands On U

Message U're about 2 hear is not meant 4 transmission
Should only be accessed in the privacy of your mind
Words are intense so my dear, if U dare 2 listen
Take off your clothes, meet me between the lines

CHORUS:
Are U ready 4 the touch that makes U go insane
From breast 2 lips 2 cheek 2 mane
I'll pull your hair, U will feel no pain
Are U ready 4 the only 4ever we'll both obtain
The only joy in this forsaken game
U'll feel ashamed and ordained
When I lay my hands on U

The touch U're about 2 feel is the one U've been wishin' 4
It's been here like an echo inside your space and time
It's about 2 get freaky cuz the places that I'll be kissin'
Are the places that no other man could ever find

Oh whiney, get ready 4 the touch that makes U go insane
From breast 2 lips 2 cheek 2 mane
I pull your hair, U will feel no pain (Baby, baby)
Are U ready 4 the only 4ever we'll both obtain
The only joy in this forsaken game (God forbid)
U'll feel ashamed and ordained (God forbid)
When I lay my hands on U

Ha ha ha
Nobody knows
Like I knows
Where the deepest part of your river flows
Snap, snap
Unto these nylon hose
Around your thighs my finger goes slowly
Like a cat tip-toes
Until I reach the cap stone
I will touch thee in the softest manner
Like Europa in the hands of Santana

CHORUS

When I lay my hands on U (Ha ha)

The Work, Pt. 1

Ow!
Break...

(Willing 2 do the work)

Every time I watch the other people news
I see a false picture of myself, another one of U (Yeah)
They try 2 tell us what we want, what 2 believe (Mirror)
Didn't that happen in the Garden when somebody spoke to Eve?

But I'm willing, now — willing 2 do the work
Said I'm willing 2 do what I gotta do
I'm willing — willing 2 do the work
Tell me, tell me, now — say what about U?

Looky, looky now
Look around and tell me (tell me) your sun is risen
When your brothers and sisters are in the fall (Fall)
People, tell me what is left 2 give (nothin') when our work is done?
What do we own besides the right 2 crawl?

See, we're living in a system that the devil designed (Think we ain't?)
And suffering from this devil's most heinous crime
He's tried 2 keep us from, listen, (go tell it) the reason that we were born
That is 2 be the living truth in human form

But U see I'm willing — willing 2 do the work
And 2 do — do what I gotta do
People I'm willing — willing 2 do the work
Tell me now, tell me now, tell me now — what about U? (Tell 'em about it, oh!)

Willing 2 do the work {x4}
(Are U willing?) {x2}
(Are U willing now?)

This work, this work is not an easy task
But this is the work we must do 4 Revelation 2 come 2 pass
This work, this work is the kind that turns your back on the ruling class (Work it)
By putting them in they place just like the past, look out

Got a lot o' work 2 do, got a lot o' work 2 do
(Tune it, tune it!)

Nothing can stop us
Whatever's in our way
We got 2 go through it 2 get 2 it
I heard somebody say

That they're willing (oh yeah) — willing 2 do the work
Willing 2 do what I gotta do
People tell me, I'm willing — (willing 2 do the work) (Yeah)
Can't hear ya — what about U? (Turn around)
Willing 2 do, willing 2 do the work
Thank U

Y Should I Do That When I Can Do This?

Let's play a game called "U agree"
Cuz nothin' was created in disagreement, see
And if I didn't try 2 school U, I'd be remissed
U know what?
Y should I do that when I can do this?

(Do this)
(Boom shakalakala boom)
This drummer wicked
(Do this)

U were just conceived on a Friday night
I was on stage wasting brothers in a real fight
Everytime they copped my space down I worked it harder
Stripped down 2 my underwear and spanked them like they father
Never before had people seen a vision so bizarre
Play a hand that's equal 2 mine
Uh, look at my cards I heard your little groove and I raised U another
On a Sunday morning would U play that smack 4 your mother?
Huh, I believe U would think otherwise
A few CDs from now when the software that U're banging's not alive
In a real battle those loops y'all got suffer TKO's
Until U're playing in front of 70,000 U'll never know, nigga
This a grown folks job
All the young dogs need 2 recognize
If the world was God, the people need 2 use it with a 3rd eye
Who? What? Why? Uh, lookout

And if I didn't try 2 school U I would be remissed
Y should I do that when I can do this?

[If a nigga never stylin', who would I diss?]
Y should I do that when I can do this?
(Boom shakalakala boom)
This drummer wicked
Y should I do that when I can do this?
This drummer wicked
Y should I do that when I can do this?

Everytime I turn around there's another boot
Talking about what another boot can't do
Quiet as it's kept, everyone of U boots need 2 try 2 walk a mile in my shoes

I've had devils (out) try 2 take me out but I stand 4 the truth
So my words makes mo' dollars than sense on your hellavision or your radio
With this flow it just grows
Yo, ask Chuck D. — he know
He's been fightin' the "so called power" since the days of old
So tell me now what should be sold?
Sleepy Jack hazards y'all need a couple of No-doze (Ooh)
Ask Mary J. about Chaka
Mary, is Chaka on the radio? (No)
Huh, see U gotta save your own
In the end it ain't about the dollars but the seeds U've sewn
In a mind state full of Dutch ELM that's where the ghetto's grown (Ohh)
Watch out y'all can't block me out 2night

If I didn't try 2 school u I'd be remissed
Y should I do that when I can do this? (Hey yeah)
(Do this)
[If a nigga never stylin', who would I diss?]
Y should I do that when I can do this
(Boom shakalakala boom)
This drummer wicked
Y should I do that when I can do this?

Uh, a drummer in a cold sweat, backin' up my rhyme
I'd make U take your shortie outta here (Everytime )
Calling me fine
I got a big stick, one 4 each hand
Everybody know I keep a tight band, come on
Uh

My brothers in Manhattan say, "Got 2 shut these haters down G."
He say, "Dog I got yo' back but U gotta, U gotta make a sound" (Make a sound)
Like we used 2, "Well U might be pissed
Cuz y would I do that when I can do this?"

2 most I'm known as a lover, 2 others I'm just a pain (Say what?)
The latter's opinion usually form when mediocrity reigns
And if I didn't school ya, U know what? (What?)
I would be remissed
Yo, y would I do that y'all, (haha) Londell, when I can do this?
(Y should I do that when I can do this?)
Y would I do that y'all, Ananda, when I can do this? (Backup)
(Y should I do that when I can do this)
Y would I do that y'all, Doug E., when I can do this?
Y would I do that y'all, Spike, when I could do this?
(Y should I do that when I can do this?)
Y would I do that y'all, NPG? We can do this, we can do this
Boom!
