We Want the Funk Lyrics by Ahmad

Ahmad

1994

[Intro: Choir]
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk
[Chorus: Choir]
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
[Verse 1: Ahmad]
Dig it. the mic is mine, I'm the incredible man, with the gift of Gab
And when I speak you'll be doin' the freak
So if, you don't want the funk, then you a punk
Everybody out of they chairs should go for theirs
And if you can find anyone better or as bad as mine
That's thick as a dreadlock and rocks like Lenny Kravitz
Then you done great, you done good
Wait, I hope they told you, I'll explode to any track
I'm back on top, ready to drop bombs
I'm the only rapper that can rap like this, then do the twist
So hold up, wait a minute, let me put the boom back in it
To show the Joneses can win it, and that's my crew
That's my clan, that's my posse
The niggas with the funky tunes, turn up the volume
All you ballers, with your six-four Impalas
And bass comin' out of your trunk, you better holla if you want the funk
[Chorus: Choir]
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
[Verse 2: Ahmad]
Word up, now everybody, get up, then sit back down and yell (Ho!)
The niggarole's back with a verse and it gets worse
By worse, I mean better than you and I can do
Crews and never lose in fights because I write
And flip scripts, I rip up punks and do a cheer
Think I'd ring the funk bell, yell (party over here!)
Now peep what I wrought, and maybe I even got
A million funk styles for ya, baby
In stacks, so when I rap, the claps come through
I'm new but been hearin' cheers for years and
Fear is a mindstate, I rip up raps and do up-dance stuff
The great Ahmad, if you agree, then nod
Your head like this, or like that, I can rap with anyone
And still won't fall, I do it all
So y'all kids with tapes on your shelves and twelves boomin' out of your trunk
You better yell if you want the funk
[Chorus: Choir]
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
[Verse 3: Ahmad]
Well I'm still kickin' the funk, don't believe it, you don't have to
But, bet a buck, you gon' believe it when I leave it stuck
Imprinted, through a rhyme I invented
To indent your skull cause I got soul
Everybody, get ready, get set, go, and when I let go
Of the microphone, get your jam on
But one more thing before I sing 'cause I'm fat
And ask for you to please get off your rump
And scream if you want the funk
[Chorus: Choir]
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
[Refrain: Choir (with Ahmad)]
If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk
(Party over here, bust you over there, party over here, bust you over there)
If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk
(Party over here, bust you over there, party over here, bust you over there)
If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk
(Party over here, bust you over there, party over here, bust you over there)
If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk
(Party over here, bust you over there, party over here, bust you over there)
If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk
(Party over here, bust you over there, party over here, bust you over there)
If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk
(Party over here, bust you over there, party over here, bust you over there)
If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk
(Party over here, bust you over there, party over here, bust you over there)
If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk
(Party over here, bust you over there, party over here, bust you over there)
[Chorus: Choir]
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk
If you didn't come to dance.. (​​​We want the funk!)
[Bridge: Choir]
Give me that funk baby, give me that funk (​​​We want the funk!)
Give me that funk baby, give me that funk (​​​We want the funk!)
Give me that funk baby, give me that funk (​​​We want the funk!)
Give me that funk baby, give me that funk (​​​We want the funk!)
Give me that funk baby, give me that funk (​​​We want the funk!)
Give me that funk baby, give me that funk (​​​We want the funk!)
Give me that funk baby, give me that funk (​​​We want the funk!)
Give me that funk baby, give me that funk (​​​We want the funk!)
[Chorus: Choir]
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
​​​If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk (​​​We want the funk!)
