Welcome to Omega Funk Airlines, Flight 10,000
Y’all better be ready to groove tonight, as we get down on this funky flight
We got the power, 10,000 mega tons
Like a candle in the night, shining bright
Yo, baby, this is gonna be fun
We got those savage grooves that’ll make ya holler, “Please!”
Our funk is tight, and we’re doin’ it right
Makin’ jelly in the back of your knees
Say WHAT!

This Joint is stupid fly
Mega Funk, Mega Funk, Omega Funk
Mega Funk, Mega Funk, Omega Funk
Mega Funk, Mega Funk, Omega Funk
10,000 – Worldwide
This Joint is stupid fly
Back to the future, where Omega Funk was born
A diamond in the rough, hangin’ tough
Rhythm sweeter than a sweet popcorn
The music junkies shot their funk into the air
Let your butt hand down, move it around
Shake it like ya just don’t care
10,000 – Worldwide
This Joint is stupid fly
Mega Funk, Mega Funk, Omega Funk
Mega Funk, Mega Funk, Omega Funk
Mega Funk, Mega Funk, Omega Funk
10,000 – Worldwide
This Joint is stupid fly
Just another lover of the Organized Noise
The get down groove, my weapon of choice
I’ll aim it at the heads of all the ladies and the boys
While I’m jumpin’ to the rhythm of the beat
Ya ever heard a Jive Turkey talk about chicken
Y’all getting’ funky to the rhymes I’m kickin’
My tongue is getting’ numb from all the chicken finger lickin’
And I’m jumpin’ to the rhythm of the beat
10,000 – Worldwide
This Joint is stupid fly
Mega Funk, Mega Funk, Omega Funk
Good gaud, Yes Please!
I am your fantasy
Mega Funk, Mega Funk, Omega Funk

You Callin' It Hip Hop
03:12
|

Sending out a message from the Earth to outer-space
Our planet’s in trouble. Please help the human race.
A sonic apocalypse has robbed us of the beat
No pop-locks, beatbox, or rhymin’ on the street
The trap is all around us, in our head an’ our ears
Livin’ in fear, “You got ta rise up and persevere!”
No more excuses for suboptimal rap
Listen to your elders, then spit fire like that
So, we stomp that beat ‘til your feet get groanin’
Dance like a fool ‘til six in the moanin’
We break it down to the power of three
One kick, one snare, on dope MC
You callin’ it Hip Hop
But there’s no Rap
You callin’ it Hip Hop
With no Boom Bap
Kids ain’t even rhymin’ on the street anymore
Somebody get a B-Boy and Girl on the floor
Whatever happened to the days of cutting heads
One MC survived, the other was dead
Life inside the cipher made queens and mighty kings
Rhythm an’ stings, you’d never know what someone would bring
That would strengthen the game, changing the game
Build it up, tear it down, rearranging the game
Biggie Smalls an’ Tupac done rolled in they grave
Beat depraved, “The soul of Hip Hop needs to be saved!”
But I ain’t the one to bring that New Jack fire
I’m a Sucka MC, nobody’s callin’ me sire
So, wake up, get up, stand up for your rights
What time it is, y’all, “Time ta rock the mic!”
You callin’ it Hip Hop
But there’s no Rap
You callin’ it Hip Hop
With no Boom Bap
Kids ain’t even rhymin’ on the street anymore
Somebody get a B-Boy and Girl on the floor
40 days and 40 nights the Ark of Rap sailed to the light
To rock a rhyme that’s right on time
Rap can save us all
I’m a put this into words that you can easily understand
There’s a message in the music from the sonic promised land
So, gather round to hear the sound of funk personified
Get on the Ark of Rap, my friends, I’ll take you for a ride
You callin’ it Hip Hop (X3)
You callin’ it Hip Hop
But there’s no Rap
You callin’ it Hip Hop
With no Boom Bap
Kids ain’t even rhymin’ on the street anymore
Somebody get a B-Boy and Girl on the floor
You callin’ it Hip Hop
But there’s no Rap
You callin’ it Hip Hop
With no Boom Bap
Kids ain’t even rhymin’ on the street anymore
Somebody get a B-Boy and Girl on the floor

I walk the streets of the city at night
And I don’t even know where I’ve been
I struggle hard just to stand in the light
And I don’t even know where I’ve been
I see the light shine down from the trees
And I can feel the power movin’ up the back of knees, until my –
Head spins in the summer-time breeze
And I don’t even know where I’ve been
I can’t remember such a beautiful day
All the tremors of the night just fading away
I could be in Hollywood, Cape Town, or Bombay
I don’t even know where I’ve been
I walk the streets of the city at night
And I don’t even know where I’ve been
I struggle hard just to stand in the light
And I don’t even know where I’ve been
The city burns to mechanical beats
With an urban education from the heart of the street
So I dance to the rhythm of the radiant heat
And I don’t even know where I’ve been
Walkin’ down the beach with a guitar in my hand
I can feel the pricklation of my feet in the sand
I could be in Abu Dhabi or The Sea of Japan
And I don’t even know where I’ve been
I walk the streets of the city at night
And I don’t even know where I’ve been
I struggle hard just to stand in the light
And I don’t even know where I’ve been
Ooo-hoo, ooo-hoo, ooo-hoo, ooo-hoo (x8)
I can’t remember such a beautiful day
All the tremors of the night just fading away
I could be in Hollywood, Cape Town, or Bombay
I don’t even know where I’ve been
I walk the streets of the city at night
And I don’t even know where I’ve been
I struggle hard just to stand in the light
And I don’t even know where I’ve been
I can’t remember such a beautiful day
Ooo-hoo, ooo-hoo, ooo-hoo, ooo-hoo (x4)
I can’t remember such a beautiful day

I'm Not Hard
02:42

I’m Not Hard – Yo, I’m soft like a kitten, loose the dogs on me I’m a cry when I’m bitten
I’m Not Hard – I can’t roll with the G’s, I’m a lily skinned white boy shakin’ at the knees
I’m Not Hard – I never shot a gat, never chased nobody with a baseball bat
I’m Not Hard – I can’t live like a thug, at the end of the day I just wanna give hugs
This boy ain’t hard
I never said I was hard
Ain’t pullin’ cards
I ain’t pullin’ no cards
Thinks he’s a star
I’m gonna be a big star
He’s trippin,
I’m gonna drive a big car
He’s trippin’ hard
I’m Not Hard – I ain’t a stickup kid, I got awards as a kid for the stories I did
I’m Not Hard – I’m not fly with the Honey’s, I’m a broke white joke, I don’t even make money
I’m Not Hard – I never jacked no ride, I like warm fuzzy things ‘cause I’m soft inside
I’m Not Hard – I never took no toke, but I did watch Cheech & Chong, Up In Smoke
This boy ain’t hard
I never said I was hard
Ain’t pullin’ cards
I ain’t pullin’ no cards
Thinks he’s a star
I’m gonna be a big star
He’s trippin,
I’m gonna drive a big car
He’s trippin’,
I’m on-a get real far
He’s trippin’,
I never said I was hard
Lord, he’s trippin’ hard
I got mouths to feed, a wife and 3 cats, ya I said 3 cats, ‘cause I’m crazy like that
A mortgage to pay, I’m doin’ all right, takin’ friends to the movies on a Saturday night
I’m Not Hard – those cats, my friends, my wife, the good Lord Blessed – gave meaning to life
So I take it all in, turn the blessing to sound, gonna drop that bass, y’all, spread it around
This boy ain’t hard
I never said I was hard
Ain’t pullin’ cards
I ain’t pullin’ no cards
Thinks he’s a star
I’m gonna be a big star
He’s trippin,
I’m gonna drive a big car
He’s trippin’,
I’m on-a get real far
He’s trippin’,
I never said I was hard
Lord, he’s trippin’ hard

SPY vs SPY
03:15
|
|||
It’s time – I materialize
My network of spies, hidden truth beneath the lies
So smooth – when I glide
I put on a disguise – disappear before your eyes
Hot damn – I look good in this tux
I got an Aston Martin and a pocket full of bucks
Let’s go – to the casino tonight
Steal a microchip and then we’re lookin’ for a fight
‘Cause I’m a spy
Spy versus spy
Hot Damn
I turn eyes – in Versace and lace
Then I use kung-fu to get up out of this place
You say you’re a spy – well, I’m a spy too
And I got you in my sight and there aint nothin’ you can do
So get woke – before you wind up dead
With an arrow in your back or a laser in your head
I gotta barracuda, better pray ta Buddha
I don’t wanna kick your lazy butt and leave you stranded in Bermuda
I’m a spy
Spy versus spy
Hot Damn
I’m a spy
Spy versus spy
Hot Damn
There’s a virus inside this computer machine
And it’s rigged to explode when we slide on the scene
Evil robots attack when we capture their queen
And cycloptic-baboons on the Moon are so mean
Calm down – just wait a minute
Take those baboons on the Moon, and put a pin in it
Ya otta lean a lesson from me
Shaken not stirred – have a martini or three
‘Cause I’m a spy
Spy versus spy
Hot Damn
I’m a spy
Spy versus spy
Hot Damn

I used to play guitar in the rock-n-roll
Now I drop that bass in the rhythm an’ flow
So, all ya B-Boys and ya B-Girls, let’s go
We be getting’ down in this Hip Hop show
Because the Rap Machine is a machine that makes money
I used to put it down, yo, isn’t that funny
That my king was Queen, Van Halen, an’ Styx
Now I pumpin’ Kanye and Jay-Z in the mix
Classic Rock is now RUN DMC, Nas, an’ OPP
“Ya, you know me!”
So I’m-a hustle in the scene tryin’-ta get that green
Y’all jump inta my Rap Machine
Hop into the whip, Y’all ridin’ with me
Bumpin’ to that rhythm an’ flow
Rollin’ down the strip, y’all, livin’ the dream
Thumpin’ to that rhythm an’ Flow
Y’all jump inta my Rap Machine
For every king there’s a queen in the Rap Machine
Ladies on the mic bum-rushin’ the scene
Latifah, Salt-N-Pepa, an’ MC Lyte
With flows so dope, “They was doin’ it right!”
An’ if you wanna take a shot, it’s Fire at Will
From the Cardi to the B to the Lauryn to the Hill
When Rapsody raps she blows all of our minds
Leavin’ all the boys an’ hate behind
So, if yaw anna make noise y’all need ta get super
Be fly with yo style like a Hip Hop Trooper
Be a straight up Annapolis rhyme-marine
Y’all jump inta my Rap Machine
Hop into the whip, Y’all ridin’ with me
Bumpin’ to that rhythm an’ flow
Rollin’ down the strip, y’all, livin’ the dream
Thumpin’ to that rhythm an’ Flow
Y’all jump inta my Rap Machine
Y’all jump inta my Rap Machine
Rap to the rhythm, clap to the rhythm
Get on your feet
Y’all snap, let’s dap to the rhythm
Rock to the rhythm, roll to the rhythm
Out-a control
Time ta sing that soul to the rhythm
Hop into the whip, Y’all ridin’ with me
Bumpin’ to that rhythm an’ flow
Rollin’ down the strip, y’all, livin’ the dream
Thumpin’ to that rhythm an’ Flow
Hop into the whip, Y’all ridin’ with me
Bumpin’ to that rhythm an’ flow
Y’all jump inta my Rap Machine
Tearin’ down the strip, y’all, settin’ it free
Rollin’ down the strip, y’all, livin’ the dream
Thumpin’ to that rhythm an’ Flow
Y’all jump inta my Rap Machine
Y’all jump inta my Rap Machine
