YOU CAN'T LIVE BY THE WAY THAT YOU THINK
OR HOW YOU FEEL
IT'S NOT REAL
HERE'S THE DEAL
YOU CAN'T LIVE YOUR LIFE BY THE WEATHER OR THE TIME
BUT BY THE RHYTHM AND THE RHYME
OF THE MUSIC GOIN' THROUGH YA MIND

YOU CAN IGNORE THE GROOVE
IGNORE IT IF YOU CHOOSE
BUT THAT'S WHERE YOU LOSE
COZ THIS MUSIC'S UNTAMED AS THE BEAT TRAVELS THROUGH YA VEINS
YA GOTTA FEEL THE FUNK, FEEL THE FUNK IN YA BRAIN

CHORUS
KEEP WATCHING OUT FOR THE WAY TO GO
FEEL THE FUNK AND THEN YOU'LL KNOW
WALK THE PATH DON'T PAY NO FAIR
SING WHAT YOU FEEL PLAY WHAT IS THERE

IF YOU LIVE HOW YOU THINK
YOU'LL END UP DOWN THE SINK
COZ YOUR LIFE'LL REALLY STINK
SO TAKE MY ADVICE
WHEN YOU'RE ROLLIN THE DICE OF LIFE
DON'T GET INTO STRIFE
YEAH FEEL THE FUNK IN YA BRAIN

I'VE HAD A REVELATION
YOU CAN'T LIVE FROM YOUR EMOTIONS
COZ ALL THE FLUCTUATION
WILL WEAKEN YOUR DEVOTION
AND YOU'LL LOSE YOUR POSITION
IN THE CHOSEN GENERATION
AFTER ALL THE CALCULATIONS
FEEL THE FUNK IN YA BRAIN
