You can't cool me down, I'm too hot
Oh, it's astronomical, baby
Now dig
A kid from the mitt in tone with the rhythm
Picked up a record, couldn't stop listenin'
Found his salvation, knew he was different
Breakin' all the rules, the nature of the fiction
Cheatin', I was sleepin' with the digitals
Brought home, comprende, the G knows
You chase girls whose heads full of rainbows
Nothin' made sense 'til he busted out the saxophone
Everybody get up on they feet, now (Feet, now)
You know I been funky since knee-high (Knee-high)
Bustin' through the ceiling, get higher (Higher)
You can't cool this off, we on fire (Fire)
Everybody get up on they feet now (Feet now)
Everybody, everybody (Higher)
The kid on a journey, met Mary-Lou
He spun in the groove but on, he kept movin'
Run for his dreams and faith in the music
Run from the fame and lames and the jewelry (Yeah)
Always on the road, the melody is home
Snack packs and playin' music on the go
Do you, 'cause doin' you is what's dope
Know he stayed true to his soul
'Cause you can't fake the funk
Ahh, the funk
You can't fake the funk
Check it out
Hey, Mr. Sax-man, get louder
Can't fake it
Hey
That be the funk, yeah, girl, get on that
You can't fake the funk, you can't fake the funk
You can't fake the funk, you can't fake the funk
You can't fake the funk, you can't fake the funk
You can't fake the funk, aw, get up now
Everybody get up on they feet, now (Feet, now)
You know I been funky since knee-high (Knee-high)
Bustin' through the ceiling, get higher (Higher)
You can't cool this off, we on fire (Fire)
Everybody get up on they feet, now (Feet, now)
You know I been funky since knee-high (Knee-high)
Bustin' through the ceiling, get higher (Higher)
You can't cool this off, we on fire (Fire)
Everybody get up on they feet now (Feet now)
Everybody, everybody (Higher)
You can't fake the funk, you can't fake the funk
You can't fake the funk, everybody get up on they feet, now (Feet, now)
You can't fake the funk, you can't fake the funk
You can't fake the funk, it's astronomical, baby
