I JUDGE THE FUNK (Hadley Murrell and Black Ice)
I judge the funk, guilty guilty
I judge the funk, til it funkasizes me
I judge the funk, guilty guilty
I judge the funk, let me testify
Give me 10 weeks of hard funk, in the worst place to be
Hard labor on the way, til it funkasizes me
I was sad in the worst way, to set the fool free
Let ‘em spread the Gospel, cuz the funky judge is me
I judge the funk, guilty guilty
I Judge the funk, til it funkasizes me
I Judge the funk, guilty guilty
I judge the funk, let me testify
But he’s guilty, woo hoo
Guilty, woo hoo, get get get it bad
Give me 10 weeks of hard funk, in a funk factory
Hard labor on the way, til it funkasizes me
I was sad in the worst way, to set the fool free
Let him spread the Gospel, cuz the funky judge is me
I judge the funk, guilty guilty
I Judge the funk, til it funkasizes me
I Judge the funk, guilty guilty
I judge the funk, let me testify
Every man is guilty, every man is guilty
I judge the funk, I judge the funk
I judge the funk, I judge the funk
I judge the funk, I judge the funk
I judge the funk, I judge the funk
