Once upon time in a land without form, and void
Space invaders volunteered to evacuate the heavens and make some noise
Now these here inhabitants didn't have a clue of what to do with all of the blues that planet Earth had produced until...
A fleet of Funkateers took the wheel and wandered off into a foreign land saturated with milk, honey and pyramids- built by a myriad of melanin citizens said to be the first from the dust of the earth
Upon their arrival, the Godfather of Funk closed his eyes and cried for a companion!
And wahlah rivers of living water filled a vivacious vessel of a virgin Mother-Funker
With perfect proportions and a smile as wide as the Nile!
After the Godfather found his Motherland Lady,
The funky fleet headed West where they noticed just how monotonous the music had become.
Bloodsuckers drained the artists of their magic, the nation was sho'nuff damaged!
Airwaves were polluted with a slew of carbon copy compositions, but it was prophesied
That a prince would soon come to equalize the aforementioned epidemic with a synthesizer!
Now I'd be remiss not to mention the Major Prophets that paved the path for a funky titan to hone his craft
Much love & respect to the forefathers of the funk such as:
James Brown, Sly Stone, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Johnny Guitar Watson, George Duke, Prince, Rick James, DJ Quik and of course J. Dilla
After decades of outlandish escapades soon came the King of the keyboards!
The messiah of the Moog!
The Bishop of Body Rock sure to make your heart throb!
Behold the ""Sparkchild"" was born!
Crowds came from far and wide just to marvel at his magic wand widely regarded as ""The Sparkplug.""
And because of the powers invested in his hands, we hereby do solemnly swear to shower in the funk, the whole funk and nothing but the funk now and forevermore!
And all the people said, AMEN!
