[Intro]
Yo, Funk Flex

[Verse]
My first tool 22s
I hung with crews and rocked funny jewels
Gold chains, Halloween
We bombed Sunday schools
First blunts, cuttin' class
First wifey had me nuttin' fast
Used to brag about who I had
Always wore a bag on my dick
Pants sagged on my kicks
Converse weapons, yellow, and purple magics
Bird had that black shit
Shorties jumpin' on mattress
'97, pockets is fat, rock a stockin' cap
Under Yankee hats
God, painted me black, thanks for that
I'm original man
Show improve the mack move right in my hand
Blow dro, murderer M.O., gone for O
Tinted window, Hennessy XO, fuckin' wit Esco
Heavy metal can wet you, yo bless you
Jail niggas go ta hell quicker
Lick you with that huntin' shot
Rockin' VVS rocks, stylin', wildin'
Peace to Queensbridge housin'
Congratulate Flex, five-hundred thousand sold
Fuckin' better than gold, nigga

Funkmaster Flex began his career as a producer best known for his work in the 90’s East Coast hip-hop scene. His discography includes both solo works, such as 60 Minutes of Funk which received RIAA gold standard, as well as his collaborative efforts with rappers such as Biz Markie and The Notorious B.I.G. Flex’s early music served as an inspiration for other artists growing up, such as Mark

However, Flex is perhaps best known as a DJ, most notable for his show on radio station Hot 97 in New York. His show often includes special guests who freestyle, also known as the “Funkmaster Flex Freestyle”, rappers who have participated, to name a few, include J. Cole and Mos Def.

Even more notorious, is the news and gossip sections of Funk Flex’s show. Although Flex is not new at inserting himself into beef, he immortalized his position in gossip when he perpetuated the 2015 Drake and Meek Mill ghostwriting beef. The Funkmaster played reference tracks from alleged Drake ghostwriter Quentin Miller and dissed Drake on his show continuously. While he did eventually deliver on providing some “evidence” to Quentin Miller’s involvement with Drake, many criticized Flex for using the beef as promotion, even starting a petition to have him fired from Hot 97.
