[Interlude: Sample]
I wanna✦ make it real funky✦ for you
Make a little beat, nothin'✦ simple
Nothin'✦ fancy,✦ wanna✦ make it simple
And funky✦ for you, listen✦ to my beat
It's a beatin'✦ heart
Listen✦ to my heartbeat✦
It's beatin'✦ real funky✦
Listen✦ to my heartbeat✦
It's beatin'✦ real funky✦
Bring in the bass and play it funky✦
Bring in the bass and play it funky✦
Play it funky✦ for me, B.B
Play it funky,✦ funky,✦ funky✦
Play it funky,✦ B.B., play it funky,✦ funky,✦ funky✦
Bring it on down
Heartbeat,✦ heartbeat✦
Heartbeat,✦ bring it on down
Heartbeat✦
Heartbeat,✦ bring it on down
Heartbeat✦
[Verse 2]
This conglomeration✦ is just a demonstration✦
Of rap's penetration✦ to the core of our nation
Some rappers get down with toy commercial sounds
I had my choice, I chose the underground
Like me or hate me, now if you want you can rate me
My beats are by Islam, the cuts by the great E
My heartbeat✦ is kickin',✦ it's kickin'✦ louder✦ and louder✦
It's gettin'✦ deffer✦ and deffer,✦ I'm feelin'✦ prouder✦ and prouder✦
Not robbin',✦ killin',✦ just mic illin'✦
The phone rings, "We made another million"✦
Break out the Dom and pop the corks
I catch a flight to New York
Hit the L.Q., watch Red spin, "It's closed"✦
Brooklyn strikes again✦
[Interlude: Sample]
I wanna✦ make it real funky✦ for you
Make a little beat, nothin'✦ simple
Nothin'✦ fancy,✦ wanna✦ make it simple
And funky✦ for you, listen✦ to my beat
It's a beatin'✦ heart
Listen✦ to my heartbeat✦
It's beatin'✦ real funky✦
Listen✦ to my heartbeat✦
It's beatin'✦ real funky✦
Bring in the bass and play it funky✦
Bring in the bass
[Verse 3]
Once again,✦ my friends, it's time to rock it 'til the party✦ ends
Rhymin'✦ with timin'✦ as Evil✦ E lets the record spin
Kickin'✦ it, hittin',✦ rockin',✦ just so dope it's shockin'
'Cause I be layin' rhymes✦ super✦ fly, 'cause this is do or die
Make it or break it, although most emcees✦ do fake it
I'll say the Ice can't take it, time to microphone bake it
Raise the heatin'✦ level,✦ break out your coal shovel✦
Pump the temp, I'm sweatin' like a devil✦
Listen✦ to my heartbeat,✦ it's beatin'✦ like a wild man
But that's natural 'cause you know that I am
No punk, no chump, no fool, no toy
Try to get ill and serve you, boy
