Sample The Funk Lyrics - Too $hort

Intro: 

Sup? 

short dogg back in the house beeyatch! 

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 

Verse 1: 

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 dem 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 bees 

stuck in the back of your throat 

fuckin with a pimp named sir too $hort 

we coulda 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 

cos you must be blind if you can't see 

and i'ma 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 

cos 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 axe ohio players once again 

can we sample the funk? 

Y'know we don't wanna wear it out 

we just wanna lil' piece, y'knowhati'msayin? 

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? 

Verse 2: 

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'cha spendin all ya money cos you need a lawyer 

you got problems and ya need ta solve em 

ya shouldn't of sampled wouldn't of had dem problems 

if you'd have played your own shit 

you wouldn't be broke, you woulda made ya long grip, bitch 

but that's irrelevant now, my friend 

cos 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 mothership land 

nothin but funk all in your face 

i like to slow it way down in ass and bass 

cos 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 

Beeyatch! 

that's right, peewee friggin the keyboards 

tony t on the drums, shorty b on the bass 

ant banks on the mixing boards, short dogg on the vocals 

Verse 3: 

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 

cos 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! 

Outro: 

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'? 

to all y'all niggas, y'all can sample all you want 

here we go loopty-loo 

cos the dangerous crew goin to get funky like this 

flip it!
