It's All About That

Listen
Peace Donald, this is Weldon here, just calling to tell you that that jam you played was funky
It hit me, I've got delayed reaction

Two on the one and five on the side
And what did Jesse Jackson say? To keep the funk alive
We're gonna funk it to the left
We're gonna funk it to the right
We're gonna funk it till you break it
Gonna funk it all night

When you're moving to the funk you've got to give it your soul
You've got to move it to the one just like you losing control
There's only two things in this track that's gonna make you strike
You got to stay on the one and keep the funk alive

Everything is going upside down
You gotta move it in and out, you got to move it around
And when you're dealing with the brothers while they do have a gun
You think your kids ain't watching me just like your daughter and son

When you play the rolling faster do you think it will last
Until somebody pulls a niner and pop a cap in that ass
And you're laying in the bed and couldn't scratch if it itched
Laying helpless as a baby thinking ain't that a bitch, aw

It's all about that

Now you think that you've a rap because you dropped out of school
Making crazy launch loops and selling drugs in the school
And you're not thinking bout the future but it soon will be here
It's just that you don't give a dam because you really don't care

You see you're not as stupid lazy and you just wanna wait
And by the time you wake that ass up just a little too late
They say that knowledge is the power and it's that without a doubt
You better get yourself together or you'll be left out

According to the book the man is coming soon
We don't know when he's gonna come, it could be night or noon
And by the time the man arises like a thief in the night
You better get yourself, better get yourself right

Because you know, what you're doing is probably wrong
You better sit and check the lyrics for this funky song
You think you're living pretty large, you think you're living pretty fat
Life's a one-time offer and it's all about that

It's all about that

Peace Donald, this is Weldon here, just calling to tell you that that jam you played was funky
It hit me, I've got delayed reaction
