Swan Fever
Written by: Michael Turner & Christopher Portugal
[Big OG Rick:] Hey, man, hold on, man… why th-hey, hey, why you stepping on my damn shoes, man? I got on my Romeos, homeboy!
([Blewfoot:] What's up wit' you, man? How you doing, man? How you doing? How you doing, brotha!?)
[Big OG Rick:] I got my Romeos, man, I'm juiced all up and shit! You know what I'm saying?
[Random partier:] Your feet too big, man!
[Big OG Rick:] No, no, my feet are small!
[Blewfoot:] Brotha! What's happening?
[Random partier:] What's happening, man?
[Thes One:] T-Bone, rest in peace!
([Blewfoot:] Doing his thing…
[Random partier:] …championship belt…)
[Double K:] Hipsters, geeks, b-boys, and punks
It's the mega-dynamic with the bump in your trunk
Business men, school drop-outs, and people who lack
The P's back, check me out, I'm what it means to be black!
[Thes One:] And a wonderful, musical, magical, radical
Latino brother, back from another sabbatical, so yo!
Ya Stepchildren if you're with me, I want to introduce Fun
[Spoken sample:] D… M… C…
[Double K:] We never left, we was sitting at the bar
Counting stacks, talking 'bout the comeback in Larry's Cadillac
So we got faded, made it, hit the lab, and created
The major-type boogie, funk in five, mic raiding
[Thes One:] We been waiting, debating whether haters would stop
When we hit the top ([Double K:] Top!), now we never won't drop
The ball like New Year's, so getcha some new beers
Kick back, relax, raise 'em up and say ([Double K:] Cheers!)
[Double K:] We the self-proclaimed Greatest of All Time
Ten years and pushing, here's a toast to the grind
Let's roll out the turntables on the surface unstable
And we can all watch the night fall
[Thes One:] We got Next Step, Question, "O.S.T.", American Men
Stay Tuned, Stepfather, rocking 'em again with sei de seis
From the same place: L.A. with the big bass
And we dig crates, yes, and we…
[Double K:] We on a trip, funning, hide your guns
Let go of the hostility, my people, all we need is
[Rap sample:] Fun! ([Rap sample:] For you!
[Thes One:] Fresh! Fresh!)
[Thes One:] Ay-yo, pump up the volume, play this loud
People Under… the party style's world-renowned, we have
[Rap sample:] Fun! ([Sung sample:] On my side…)
[Rap sample:] Fun! ([Thes One:] People…)
[Double K:] We on a trip, funning, hide your guns
Let go of the hostility, my people, all we need is
[Rap sample:] Fun! ([Rap sample:] For you!
[Thes One:] Fresh! Fresh!)
[Thes One:] Pump up the volume, play this loud
People Under… the party style's world-renowned, we have
[Rap sample:] Fun!
[Double K:] We should cut a record of our own!
[Rap sample:] Fun!
[Thes One:] Yeah!
[Double K:] Frankie Berry… hey, George!
[Thes One:] You are under the stairs, people
We are under the stairs, people (repeated)
[Double K:] Party, man… party!
[Man talking in French] Ahhhhhhhh!
[George Clinton sample:] Aw yeah…
[Spoken sample:] Musical dope…
[George Clinton sample:] Fun…
[Spoken sample:] Oh, my! This is really a…
[Spoken sample:] Fun: it's hard-hitting, it's devastating, it's mind-blowing, it… kicks ass, what can I say?
([Spoken sample:] … the galaxy, and I could demonstrate our place in the universe!)
[Spoken sample:] It's, uh… It's down, it's live
([Spoken sample:] It's the shit!)
[Spoken sample:] And, um… seems to be necessary… James Brown was funky ([James Brown:] Mmm… Ha ha!)… Sly Stone was… IS… Zapp… Bootsy… Parliament… Funkadelic…
[Spoken sample:] In the latter years, it appears that the overwhelming style has become the predominant music of the day... and the group is often imitated from coast-to-coast… but when it comes to the real nitty gritty… almost in every community, the choice has been…
