[Intro]
You’re now tuned into the cookout!
(You’re now tuned into the, you’re now tuned into the)
You are now tuned into the cookout
(You’re now tuned into the cookout, baby)
You’re now tuned into the cookout
A communal gathering of like-minded souls where time has little relevance
Where the uncles be grilling, the aunties be chilling
And the kids are always getting into something they ain’t supposed to
But it’s all good baby!
Just plеase make sure you RSVP and show up on timе
‘Cause you know what they say
“If you are late, we cannot save you a plate!”
Now without further ado
[Verse 1]
You’re now tuned into the cookout
Yo leave your book out, this here the jam
And everyone is invited except for that Uncle Sam
Time is money, we won’t give none of that up to them
Don’t even worry ‘bout it, we posted up with the fam
Serving up mac and cheese, some greens, and extra yams
‘Cause breakfast, lunch, and dinner’s for beginners, ya know (I know)
Stay out the kitchen, Mama cooking for the litter, ya know (I know)
Patience is a virtue, that’s what breeds a winner, ya know
Come on, shoes off, act like you’ve been here before
You better close the screen before you let them flies in the door
We bumping MJ, Uncle Charlie, and Before I Let Go
And Granny finished all her Henny, now she need a li’l more
Study long, study wrong, yeah that’s just what I was told
They all cutting hearts with spades, so don’t falter
‘Cause you know that the family be prouder than Oscar
Even when we’re separate, we arrive and we conquer
But it’s better when we’re together, that’s why I love being ‘round
You got me on the greatest high and I can’t even come down
‘Cause I don’t wanna come down
[Chorus]
Welcome to the function, baby
Make yourself at home
Yams are on the counter and the chicken on the stove
Everybody’s royalty, we worth our weight in gold
‘Cause we’re ten toes like insoles
And you know you’re always on my mind
And I never worry ‘cause your love is divine
I just want your peace and a bit of your time
So won’t you come to my hood, my hood
You got me feeling so good, so good
So just call me when you’re on your way
[Verse 2]
I’m with the homies, the ones that truly know me
It’s season 3, baby, we kick it up in a Shoney’s
Used to eat them sandwiches, mayo, cheese, and bologna
But now we live that sweet life, something like Zack and Cody
And I’m a black nerd, yeah something like Tucker Foley
Ain’t got the ghost but you know I lean back in the Rosa
Crew ready for action like the guns out the holsters
Favorite color orange so we sip on mimosas
Feeling like the weight’s off my shoulders
You know my reaction to snacking is cracking a smile
So you ain’t gotta ask if I’m having some, pass it on down
Look, I ain’t tryna put these good vibes on a pedestal
But I feel incredible! (I feel incredible)
Might need a refill but the blessings are plentiful
We working day and night so we can get where we’re headed for
Travel ‘cross the world all in search for some decimals
But it’s better when we’re together, that’s why I love being ‘round
You got me on the greatest high and I can’t even come down
Like who would wanna come down?
[Chorus]
Welcome to the function, baby
Make yourself at home
Yams are on the counter and the chicken on the stove
Everybody’s royalty, we worth our weight in gold
‘Cause we’re ten toes like insoles
And you know you’re always on my mind
And I never worry ‘cause your love is divine
I just want your peace and a bit of your time
So won’t you come to my hood, my hood
You got me feeling so good, so good
So just call me when you’re on your way
[Bridge]
Say you’ll stay around a little while
Ain’t no extra mile
We got room for the both of us
Every sister, mother, man, and child
Been waiting for your smile
You’re now tuned into the motherfuckin’ cookout
If you need another lookout, I’ll be there
Say you’ll stay around a little while
Ain’t no extra mile
We got room for the both of us
Every sister, mother, man, and child
Been waiting for your smile
They been waiting here just to tell you
[Chorus]
Welcome to the function, ohh
Make yourself at home
Yams are on the counter and the chicken on the stove
Everybody’s royalty, we worth our weight in gold
‘Cause we’re ten toes like insoles
And you know you’re always on my mind
And I never worry ‘cause your love is divine
I just want your peace and a bit of your time
So won’t you come to my hood, my hood
You got me feeling so good, so good
So just call me when you’re on your way
[Outro]
You’re now tuned into the cookout!
You’re now tuned into the, you’re now tuned into the
(You are now tuned into the cookout)
You’re now tuned into the cookout, baby
You’re now tuned into the cookout!
You’re now tuned into the, you’re now tuned into the
(Tuned into the, tuned into the)
You’re now tuned into the cookout, baby
Welcome to the F-U-N-C-T-I-O-N
Will you stay with me? I'm hoping
Let's sit back and drink this potion
As we proceed
