Title song for my new CD (Baptised In The Funk Wawtuh)

Stoneman wrote, produced and performed everything on this recording

This song is partially an origin story for my personal activation of funk music.

Legend has it that one day little Stoney was playing in the alley when a pothead smoking a bong stumbled over him and spilled bong water all over his face. He then looked down at the child and said “don’t cry, you been baptized in the funk wawtuh.

You and me on the one proceed to activate the funk
We been baptized in the funk wawtuh
You and me on the one proceed to activate the funk
We been baptized in the funk wawtuh

Every hand is willing to share, the sacred herb has funked up the air.
With the bass thump thump’n the sounds while drums keep pump’n and throwing it down
Theres a reason we hold one finger in the air, it for one love one world one nation out there
This is a call for all funksters to share it time to activate the funk yeah

You and me on the one proceed to activate the funk
We been baptized in the funk wawtuh
You and me on the one proceed to activate the funk
We been baptized in the funk wawtuh

Were so tired of mumbling hit clowns. Were so tired of beats with no funk to be found
Take me back to the funk era days, when we turn it out everytime we played.
Its an emergency, funk is the cure that we need, get fired up and proceed its time to activate the funk yeah
Let the explosion begin, we bout to do it again, don’t get caught standing downwind cause we gone activate the funk yeah.

You and me on the one proceed to activate the funk
We been baptized in the funk wawtuh
You and me on the one proceed to activate the funk
We been baptized in the funk watuh

Were swimming in it, you know were living in it
Were so deep down in the funk yeah
Were floating in it, you know were smoking in it were bout to activate the funk yeah.

You and me on the one proceed to activate the funk
We been baptized in the funk wawtuh
You and me on the one proceed to activate the funk
We been baptized in the funk wawtuh

Coffee & Cream
Really like the intro with the vocal fx tones, "activate the funk," morphs into a funky r&b groove, with neat vocal feat. a falsetto also, tasteful production values, Stoneman brings the rhythms, charmin' vibe, kudos...
