lirik lagu funky dl – zakes gordon
intro (repeat x3)
to a constantly surprising refrain
zakes gordon
verse one
yo’, i knew this cat named zakes, i used to send him tapes
the a&r at jive, he used mess with tribe
i would turn up with no appointment, keep the hope alive
sat in reception with my music on cassette
and after 20 minutes, came down looking perplexed
like “did i book you in? i think i must have missed the memo”
i know it sounds cliché, “but listen to my demo”
then zakes left jive, went p.w.l.,
around the same time, i be rocking the bells
it’s the funky takeover, giving rap a makeover
radio playing my records without no payola
within a couple years, zakes working another label
almo, south~west london, he may be able
to hook a brother up, i guess i have to place my bets
the next thing i know, he signed soul silhouette
put me in the studio to see how soulful i get
making record after record and all from the sake
of zakes putting me on to make classic was the day
chorus (repeat x2)
to a constantly surprising refrain
zakes gordon
verse two
i was downstairs in the lab working on tracks
zakes was upstairs at his desk with a pepsi max
but the next thing i know, my whole deal fell apart
yo’ but zakes told me bout’ this new label he would start
so i signed with utmost and put classic out
saw me doing this up close, knew what i was about
i was all about the music
heartfelt integrity came next, produced it
after that we went our separate ways
i went fully independent, but remember the days
of a young man giving a young boy a shot
and my only job was to give it everything i got
so that’s it, that’s the way we formed classic
so if you fortunate enough to have the plastic
i salute you, you a captain, you a general
you got the minerals
you been supporting me way before the digital
zakes gordon the, story untold
and yo’ there’s more to the story but i’ll keep it on hold for real
chorus
