Can't Stay Away
Bootsy Collins

Sup?

Short Dogg back in the house beeyatch

And it don't stop to the beat

Ain't no thang but a chicken wing

We gonna do it like this one mo' time


Straight from Oakland, California I'm back again

Short Dogg's on the mic 'bout to mack and pimp

We got flavor at the Dangerous Crew camp

Save ya money, can't use dem food stamps

Other crews like to sample and mix

But our crew, we just play that shit

Live, drums, bass, keys

Niggas don't like it, you can get bees

Stuck in the back of your throat

Fuckin with a pimp named Sir Too $hort

We coulda sampled the Luke but we didn't

I'd rather treat ya like a ho and start pimpin

When will you other brothers realise?

Can't fuck with my crew better feel your eyes

Cos you must be blind if you can't see

And I'ma say this shit quite frankly

I give a fuck when freestylers step up

I don't do it, tell you 'bout it on the next cut

Cos right now we gotta feel the flow

And make sure we keep it real slow

Just like the motherfuckin Dangerous Crew

We gettin funky like it's 1972

Still puffin on them zags, dressed like pimps

And axe Ohio Players once again

Can we sample the funk?

Y'know we don't wanna wear it out

We just wanna lil' piece, y'knowhati'msayin?

We ain't goin loopy, we're goin freaky

We gonna funk it track for track

Dangerous Crew style

Ant Banks let me flip this one more time

Ya ready?


All you brand new rappers got a new flow

You ain't samplin James Brown no mo'

Probably try to sample cameo

Parliament Funkadelic, you scandalous ho

You stole it, Ossie Brothers, Bark Kays

Barry White, Isaac Hayes

Have you heard the term 'Sample Clearance'?

Start the nigga who wrote it, would never hear it

Now we're suin your ass for sure

Got'cha spendin all ya money cos you need a lawyer

You got problems and ya need ta solve em

Ya shouldn't of sampled wouldn't of had dem problems

If you'd have played your own shit

You wouldn't be broke, you woulda made ya long grip, bitch

But that's irrelevant now, my friend

Cos they done wiped you clean like Ant Banks' Benz

Sittin on some three-piece AMG's

Better find you a sample, you ain't playin these

Kinda beats, so funky make your fingers pop

If you can't find a sample you ain't got


Not one damn thing for a nigga to ride to

But I been gettin funky since I was in high school

Growin up in that Bootsy's rubber band

In '76, seen a mothership land

Nothin but funk all in your face

I like to slow it way down in ass and bass

Cos that's how we be layin tracks

Just flip the funky rhyme and start sayin raps

Get funky with Ant Banks, PeeWee, Shorty B

Father D, Dope D, Tony T

The motherfuckin Dangerous Crew

And that's the drop from the dime, we'll change the groove

Just to sample the funk

Beeyatch

That's right, PeeWee friggin the keyboards

Tony T on the drums, Shorty B on the bass

Ant Banks on the mixing boards, Short Dogg on the vocals


Right now you know the story of Too $hort baby

First started rappin in 1980

I got more game than Monopoly

Now I'm makin money there ain't nobody stoppin me

Used to be local til I signed with Jive, man

Used to like to sample now I'm rollin with live band

Now that I finally did this shit

I'm makin one more album and then I quit

And only one thing could make me say I'm not

And that's one million dollars on the spot

Upfront cash, money, no compromise

No schemes, no scandals, don't front and lie

Just pay the man in full

Thirty years old, torch the bull

Ain't givin shit up but the funk

Let these record companies know what the fuck I want

Cos they been fuckin black folks right from the start

When you sign that line tear your ass apart

For every one you get they gettin five

Niggas gettin paid but it don't seem right

I know where I came from and know where I'm at

And my last two albums don't sound real bad

I'm Too $hort baby, I ain't no punk

I'm just askin 'Can I sample the funk?'

So can we sample the funk?

Bitch


Yeah, you know what I'm sayin?

I'm talkin to George Clinton, Bootsy Collins

My nigga Suga Foot and Diamond from the Ohio Players

I'm talkin to James Brown

We know where the funk came from

Johnny 'Guitar'?

To all y'all niggas, y'all can sample all you want

Here we go loopty-loo

Cos the Dangerous Crew goin to get funky like this

Flip it
