Lyrics

Coming out the airport we hear the sound of funk
Then we see the sharp gentleman waiting out at the front
Big O was right, he was funky as my rhymes
This African cab driver, 3 button suit and tie
He said creation come if you desire it
You gotta admire it, escape the tyrant
Thinking well he's got his cab, maybe we could hire it
Take us into Sydney city, paying for the mileage
Looked at his taxi, I saw colours I never could ever see
The back seat coloured purple, engine is red and green
The lights are blue, radiator orange and pink
What's happening here? Listen up it's more than you think
This opportunity coming only once in a while
So come for the ride, jump inside, be one with the night
The driver stood at the entrance in a different dimension
He said let's take a ride on my funk engine
Taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride
Now on the journey we go, rolling on these Sydney roads
Drowned in the funk engine, pedal down to the floor
From the airport to Newtown to right in the city
Hyde Park is full of jazz cats and hacky stack hippies
Saw the night clubs where people get together
Hipster fashion dominates and it is fresh as ever
Someone's high on the ground like a heavy feather
Bill post of the splendour the city's got
I saw the bridge that's iconic, men in suits with leather wallets
Saw some groups around the corner with no food but empty pockets
Air conditioning and heating installed in every building
Explains the warm feeling when I saw the opera ceiling
Everyone seems like they got a story to tell
It's never boring, feeling more like it's important as well
Everything is so jive, god I feel so alive
Since the funky cab driver took us for a little ride
Taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride
Taking a ride on a funk engine
We're taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride
It's a feeling we could live inside forever
The towers around my head be my ruler, this shit don't measure
Fat rats are chasing their cheddar, these beggars struggle for fetta
These cabs are chasing the colours, I'm certain it get no betta
I'm feeling it in my chest, energy never rest
Give me another second to get this shit in my head
Me and him in a scene from a movie about the west
The streets are turning me on and it feels like I'm having sex
I fell in the beginning, but I ain't afraid to fall
Sydney tequila so I take it with a grain of salt
Funk engine the feature film, I'm playing the major role
Bout to kill it, no really I'm bout to change it all
As we take our toll our ride's about to take our toll
30 Minutes into Sydney and we faced it all
I guess we made it y'all, I can taste the flavour y'all
Funky cab driver you're our saviour, baby sing the horn
Taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride
Taking a ride on a funk engine
We're taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride on a funk engine
Taking a ride
