The Dragon Berries – We Got the Funk Lyrics

We got the funk
We got the ballers, the chillers, we got the punks
We got that mary jane that smell just like skunk
And we got them beats with the bass that go thump
Like
See that boy from NC is makin' it happen
Gave up dreams as an athlete for dreams of me rappin'
Bein' young and reckless was my only distraction
Was dedicated and driven, but that was only a fraction
Of everything else causing my moments of action
To deteriorate and fade away, desolation was flashing
Right in front of my eyes
Chose to rise from the ashes
Getting back up from bein' knocked down is how we show to be savage
Here I am
Taking one step at a time
Ima live up to my own hype
Get some pep in my mind
My irregularities may be troublesome
But ima let them all shine
In a destructive place, we should embrace them, I know to be kind
Yeah we risin' but they want us to fall
They say they on our team but they don't pass us the ball
One moment they love us, one moment they hate us all
But they got nothin' on us cuz we makin' the calls
We ain't ever stoppin', we keep pavin' a way
To a life full of love, to those beautiful days
Where the world is at peace and everyone is awake
Let these dollas dissolve, cuz they just demons to me
We got the funk
We got the ballers, the chillers, we got the punks
We got that mary jane that smell just like skunk
And we got them beats with the bass that go thump
Like
I just want the respect
From the people who love me, the ones the haters neglect
I'm not chasin' no fame, no I'm nit chasin' no check
If I did that, I would crash and I would burn in that wreck
It seems so simple, but that's not the truth 
What you hear in my lyrics is what I've learned from my roots
They have guided me through
All the pain I've endured
Gotta keep on keepin' on, never look back
And the rest is assured
Yeah we risin' but they want us to fall
They say they on our team but they don't pass us the ball
One moment they love us, one moment they hate us all
But they got nothin' on us cuz we makin' the calls
We ain't ever stoppin', we keep pavin' a way
To a life full of love, to those beautiful days
Where the world is at peace and everyone is awake
Let these dollas dissolve, cuz they just demons to me
My obsession is turning into aggression
Oppression is taking over in forms of expression
My highs are reciprocating to morbid digression
I can't be who I want, if I keep changing direction
So every single night, end up chillin' at home
Reminiscent of a time, I didn't feel so alone
Too much weight in my shoulders, Too much ache in my bones
Ima carry it like it's nothin', I've become strong cuz I'm grown
We got the funk
We got the ballers, the chillers, we got the punks
We got that mary jane that smell just like skunk
And we got them beats with the bass that go thump
Like
We got the funk
We got the ballers, the chillers, we got the punks
We got that mary jane that smell just like skunk
And we got them beats with the bass that go thump
Like
