“Funxploitation”
music by The Soular System
words by Rev. Desmond D’Angelo

Sittin’ on the patio, daddy-o
Puffin’ a cigar and lookin’ at the stars
I hear The Soular System on the radio
It’s time, baby, it’s time to live large
hook: Makin’ the Funk a household word
Makin’ it fly like a blackbird
Funxploitation, baby, baby, it’s time
To spread the Funk all over the world
I won’t compromise my morals for the dollar
But I sure do love to make money
The more cash I got, the Funkier I can holla
And the more I got to spend on the honies
hook
Not necessarily tryin’ to make it profitable
More try to make it prophetic
The more u make positivity marketable
U make the radio less pathetic
hook
There ain’t no getting rid of us now
U done let us in your house
U done let us in your mind
So there’s no leavin’ us behind
Everybody everywhere
Owns a share
U done let us into your ears
U done showed us off your fears
U done let us in your house
So u can’t get rid of us now
Like an addiction u don’t wanna shake
Like a bad habit u just won’t break
U sought it, u bought it
And we deliver, lover
And so we’re
hook
