[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

16 shots for my niggas^✦ 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 (Uh)

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 nigga^✦ 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

Niggas^✦ 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
