Breve Historia del Funk

Algo de hip hop. Beastie boys y Rage Against The Machine. Tenemos las letras.

Root down

I Kick It Root Down I Put My Root Down
I Kick It Root Down I Put My Root Down
So How We Gonna' Kick It Gonna Kick It Root Down
Yea How You Wanna' Kick It Gonna Kick It Root Down
So How You Gonna' Kick It Gonna Kick It Root Down
Gonna' Break It On Down Gonna' Kick It Root Down

It's Not A Put Down I Put My Foot Down
And Then I Makin' Some Love, I Put My Root Down
I'm Like Sweetie Pie By The Stone Alliance
Everbody Knows I'm Known For Dropping Science
'Cause I'm Electric Like Dick Hyman
I Guess You'd Expect To Catch The Crew Rhymin'
Never Let You Down With The Stereo Sound
So Mike, Get On The Mic And Turn It Out


We're Talking Root Down, I Put My Boot Down
And If You Want To Battle Me, You're Putting Loot Down
I Said It's Root Down It's Time To Scoot Down
I'm A Step Up To The Mic In My Goose Down
Come Up Representing From The Upper West
Money Makin' Putting Me To The Test
Sometimes I Feel As Though I've Been Blessed
Because I'm Doing What I Want So I Never Rest

Well I Ain't Coming Out Goofy Like The Fruit Of The Loom Guys
Just Strutting Like The Meters With The Look-ka Py Py
Downtown Brooklyn Is Where I Was Born
But When The Snow Is Fallin' Then I Am Gone
You Might Think That I'm A Fanatic
A Phone Call From Utah And I'm Throwing A Panic
So Break It To The Root When We Kick It On Down
Jimmy Smith Is My Man I Wanna' Give Him A Pound

(Chorus)


Well Ad Rock Don't Stop Come On
Just Get On The Mic With The Tic And The Toc
Well I'll Fill You To The Fuckin' Rim Like Brim
I'm Walking Down Your Block And You Say That's Him
There Goes The Guy With The Funky Sound
The Beastie Boys You Know We Come To Get Down
Because I've Got The Flow Where I Grab My Dick
And Say Oh My God That's The Funky Shit
So I'ma' Pass The Mic And Cause A Panic
The Original Nasal Kid Is Doing Damage

Every Morning I Took The Train To High Street Station
Doing Homework On The Train, What A Fucked Up Situation
On The Way Back Up Hearing Battle Tapes
Through The Underground, Underneath The Sky Scrapes
It's Like Harlem World Battles On The Zulu Beat Show
It's Kool Moe D Vs. Busy Bee There's One You Should Know
Enough Of That, I Just Want To Give Some Respect Due
MCA Grab The Mic And Ma Bell Will Connect You

Bob Marley Was A Prophet For The Freedom Fight
"If Dancin' Prays To The Lord Then I Will Feel Alright"
I'm Feelin' Good To Play A Good Little Music
Tears Running Down My Face 'Cause I Love To Do It
And No One Can Stop This Flow From Flowing On
A Flow Master Of Disaster With A Sound That's Gone
I'll Take A Little Shout Out To My Dad And Mom
For Bringing Me Into This World And So On

(Chorus)

Yea That Shits On Down
And That's A Record That's A Record Called The Mario
And That's A Record That's A Record Called The Mario
And That's A Record That's A Record Called The Mario
Awe, now That's A Record Buddy...

Renegades of funk

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now

Since the Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
And then no renaissance came, and times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades

We're the renegades of funk

From a different solar system many many galaxies away
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
And we're on this musical mission to help the others listen
And groove from land to land singin' electronic chants like
Zulu nation
Revelations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations

Now renegades are the people with their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We're the renegades we're the people
With our own philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
C'mon

We're the renegades of funk

Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', rockin', puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
'Cause we're poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop

We're the renegades of funk

We're teachers of the funk
And not of empty popping
We're blessed with the force and the sight of electronics
With the bass, and the treble the horns and our vocals
'Cause everytime I pop into the beat we get fresh

There was a time when our music
Was something called the Bay Street beat
People would gather from all around
To get down to the big sound
You had to be a renegade in those days
To take a man to the dance floor

Say jam sucker
Say groove sucker
Say dance sucker
Now move sucker

Desertores del funk


Son los Beastie Boys. El disco, III Comunication.
Root down.




Rage Against The Machine.
Dance sucka dance, move sucka move , groove.
