After pairing with Common on the Grammy Award-winning “Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop)”, Erykah Badu calls in the ladies and dusts off her rap skills to rhyme alongside Queen Latifah, Bahamadia, and Angie Stone, who was featured on the song sampled here, the 1979 track “Funk You Up” by The Seque...
[Intro]
Don't you give up! Keep goin', keep goin', keep goin', uh
Don't you give up! Keep goin', keep goin', keep goin', uh
If you're not ready, you'd better get yourself together
Funk you up, we gon' funk you up
[Hook: Erykah Badu]
Love of my life!
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong
[Verse 1: Erykah Badu]
Freak, freak, da freak, da funk, funk; separate the good stuff from the junk
And then I bang, bang, the bump, the bump girl
My name is Apples and I rock your world
Worldwide, do your math: 30, 26, 36 and a 1/2
I hope that you will realize
I got the hazel eyes that make you nitrified
Step in the back and step to the front
Come alive y'all I'll give you what you want
The rhymes I got plenty; degrees 120
And if you want some then jump the fuck in it
[Hook]
Love of my life!
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong (jump the fuck in it)
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong
Love of my life!
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong
[Verse 2: Queen Latifah]
I'd like to introduce myself
Queen Latifah is my name
Jersey, what's poppin', we ain't gon' stop and
Keep'em heads boppin', the remix droppin'
Big girl, big trucks, big whips, whip up
Black see for you only got my back
Shut your lips up
Do it, turn it up, wow!, we gon' burn it up
Take anther pool and pass out on the furniture
Hip-Hop, all of me, I just wanna party
Grab somebody, sing "La Di Da Di"
It's 7-P la, suits to di dor dora
Erykah Badu, Angie, me, Bahamadi
You know it feels right, it's the, hey
[Hook]
Love of my life!
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong (jump the fuck in it)
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong
[Verse 3: Angie Stone]
Before I bring you into this zone
I think I better let you know that I am Angie Stone
I put the hands on the paper
Things gotta change up
I wanna sing, but I think I better hold up
B got beehive, you gotta a low ride
Can't stop, won't stop, rockin' till I die
As I flip the Hip Hop drops on ya
You fo' real? Soulsinger
Rollin' Erykah, Queen, me Angie, Bahamadia
Original, Angie B, Hey, that's me
I can rock you so dangerously
[Hook]
Love of my life!
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong (jump the fuck in it)
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong
[Verse 4: Bahamadia]
What's the deal? My name's Bahamadia
Ain't no chick in the game who get it done like me
Huh, I've been chosen by G.O.D
To show the whole wide world the meaning of MC
Look, I be in love with a thing called hip hop
We go together like b-boy and shell tops
And it don't stop because it can't quit
My whole intention is to build and to uplift
I be the ultimate microphone lyricist
Soloist with the iller dope accent
A livin' legend, baby throw me on the track and
I'm guaranteed, Bahamadia get it crackin'
[Bridge]
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up
Sit back down!
[Erykah Badu]
Funk you right on up
We gon' funk you right on up
We gon' funk you boy
Funk you right on up
We gon' funk you right on up
If you not ready, you better get yourself together
We gon' funk you up, we gon' funk you up
We gon' have a real good time
Don't care about the weather
We gon' funk you up, we gon' funk you up
Love of my life
[Erykah Badu]
You are my friend, I can depend
Love of my life
Without you baby, feels like a simple true love
Yeah, but shit ain't clear
But this shit ain't clear, yeah
[Hook]
Love of my life!
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong (jump the fuck in it)
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong
Love of my life!
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong (jump the fuck in it)
Ring, ding, dong, ring-a, ding, ding, dong
[Outro: Erykah Badu]
If you not ready
You better get yourself together
We gon' funk you up
We gon' funk you up
We gon' have a real good time
Don't care about the weather
We gon' funk you up
We gon' funk you up
