Global funk is the funk we pump
guaranteed to make the world wanna stomp and jump
and if you wanna lift yourselves out of funkin' slumps
then come and bump your rump to some global funk

lyrics

Global Funk - Regie Gibson
Intro: 4-bars bass and guitar; then 4-bars chant and guitar then all in Verse 1 (8 bars)

What y’all hearing is funk getting global
Hitting world wide yet still staying local
Original music—original vocals
good in the hood or in Constantinople
( good from the hood all the way to Morocco) Rai groove grooving all up in the background North African and American sounds
Atlas Soul on a roll blending both sounds now Yes,
East met West and we found common ground

Lyric Chorus 8 bars:
Global funk is the funk we pump
guaranteed to make the world wanna stomp and jump
and if you wanna lift yourselves out of funkin' slumps
then come and bump your rump to some global funk (2x’s)

Music Chorus – hook -(8 bars)

Verse 2 (8 bars):

How about this for the next headline
world unified by a funky (time) (melodic line) borders dissolved by a musical enzyme in global funk it happens every time
All natural, certified organic
with a groove that’ll move but is solid as granite
how does it happen? That’s the way god planned it (Cause the universe demands it)
but if you ain’t funky then you can’t understand it

Chorus 8 bars:
Global funk is the funk we pump
guaranteed to make the world wanna stomp and jump
and if you wanna lift yourselves out of funkin' slumps
then come and bump your rump to some global funk (2x’s)

Music Chorus (8 bars): Chant and Guitar Solo (Undetermined Amount of Bars But Ends With 8 Bar Musical Chorus)

Verse 3 (8 bars):

even if you walk through the valley of death the only thing to fear is being globally funkless cuz life with no global funk is (just) pointless
but we gots plenty global funk left
and we vow to keep that funk resoundin’ through every nation, state, city street and town
and even to the seas, deserts, plains and mountains
and leave the globe funkier than how we found it

Lyric Chorus 8 bars:

Global funk is the funk we pump
guaranteed to make the world wanna stomp and jump
and if you wanna lift yourselves out of funkin' slumps
then come and bump your rump to some global funk (2x’s)
