| That’s right I’m talkin' bout The Bricks
|
| The land where the rebels rock afros and bald heads
|
| And stayin' crazy paid comes natural
|
| Time to buckwild wild like the Dirty Dozen
|
| (FUNKY BROTHERS IN THE HOUSE!)
|
| Oh yeah, I brought my cousin
|
| That’s right we’re livin' larger than the humans
|
| So come on, join the funk family reunion
|
| I’m straight from Newark, New Jersey but go where ever I go
|
| I know
|
| I’m knockin' niggas out like Ivan Drago
|
| I like to spread the funk around the block where I stay on
|
| That’s why it stinks around Bergen and Avon
|
| See once I grab the mic, guaranteed satisfaction
|
| Make you wanna scream, «HEEHEE», like Michael Jackson
|
| I’m blessed by the funkafied child
|
| (YO FUNKEE KICK YOUR STYLE!)
|
| Yo hold up, wait, not now
|
| I like the way the skunk smell, I like to freak the funk realm
|
| Any rapper think he’s takin' mine, he’s drunk as hell
|
| So check the funky horn cause I got it goin' on
|
| Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, let me rock it Chaka Khan
|
| Yo this is dedicated to the punks talkin' about they from the underground
|
| Come on now how that sound?
|
| You see, I don’t give a damn if you’re underground or (NOT!)
|
| I hit hard like a (ROCK!)
|
| Then start handin' out the (KNOTS!)
|
| So if you got beef come to The Bricks cause you ain’t doin' shit here
|
| I’ll be outside when you get there
|
| «Comin' live from The Bricks»
|
| «From Newark, New Jersey» — Redman on EPMD’s 'Hardcore'
|
| Capital Jam, Capital C
|
| The funk flow, the one who can rock on an earthquake and still flow
|
| Some say I’m dope, some say I’m phenomenal
|
| If rap was sex I’d stick a rhyme in and out of you
|
| (STRAIGHT FROM THE BRICKS!)
|
| I kick the predicates and pronoun
|
| Jam and Bree, with the Lords Of The Underground
|
| This is my jungle you won’t enter, (WHY?!)
|
| Lions and tigers and bears oh my
|
| (PRAISE THE LORD!)
|
| Can I can I get an amen
|
| He opened the door, that’s when Jam-C came in
|
| Bringin' the shit like interjections used today
|
| Like, «Yikes» «Shock» «Scared» «Heavy» («HEY!»)
|
| I’m black watch, with a leather band, not X-Clan
|
| I’m bringin' the wind and tearin' shit like Rodan
|
| I’m not into wrestlin' but I headline any sound with twelve techniques
|
| I proceed to break it down
|

|
| «From Newark, New Jersey» — Redman on EPMD’s 'Hardcore'
|
| Well I step through The Bricks on the streets of concrete
|
| Poundin' on the pavement as my speech freaks my statements
|
| Pourin' on the block where I used to tick and pop
|
| Now I’m all hooked in this stuff called (HIP HOP!)
|
| The flow I kick is wicked, so please don’t try to dig it
|
| I might give a little, but only take a smidgen
|
| My style is kinda different
|
| I freak it with the gift and
|
| You’ll only freak the style if you live in The Bricks and
|
| Born
|
| Born and raised since I was little
|
| I now freak a rhyme but used to freak a riddle like:
|
| What has legs and uh, what has arms?
|
| And who has skills to freak it in a song?
|
| Well um, ding dong, X marks the spot cause it’s me hops
|
| I now freak the style from my Newark, NJ spot
|
| Mr. Funkee
|
| (WHAT?!)
|
| Jam
|
| (WHAT?!)
|
| Can I kick my shit?
|
| (YOU KICK IT IN HER BUTT!)
|
| Well um, god damn, now the shits on my Timberlands
|
| I stepped in the funk cause I kicked it in her can
|
| Like, eww, nasty, stinky, smelly
|
| Now I’m on the way and I’m stompin' on your belly
|
| South Orange Ave is in the house
