歌曲背景
歌曲由Dr.Dre製作並採樣了Forstet Sylvers的歌曲Misdemeanor。 歌曲在許多電子遊戲中都出現了,如:Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas(俠盜獵車:聖安地列斯),True Crime: Streets of LA( 真實犯罪:洛城街頭)和Madden 2005(瘋狂橄欖球2005)。它的歌詞 Y'all ready for this也能在電腦遊戲Jazz Jackrabbit 2(光速兔崽子)的開始畫面聽到。
尤其重要的是 Y'all ready for this這句歌詞因為90s的早期舞蹈團體2 Unlimited在單曲Get Ready For This的採樣而在全球出名。 這首歌可以說是第一首為大場地體育運動創作且發揮極好的歌曲。Get Ready For This的開頭甚至被用於南方公園(South Park)第119話的插曲Douche and Turd----在體育館中介紹學校吉祥物時。 同時It‘s Funky Enough還被用於Eazy-E於1993年的對Dr.Dre和Snoop Doggy Dogg的diss song----Real Muthaphuckkin G's的採樣。

歌詞
One, and here comes the two to the three and four
Then I drop the beat I have in store
Lay dynamics on the top like a rug
Make it sound smooth and later make a dub
An MC ate well, so that you can tell
I am not illiterate, no not even a little bit
Nothing like an idiot, get it?
You want the record, cool, I'm with it
Let the rhythm take you, shake it cause it makes you
As I turn the knob of the door you escape through
Go in like a knot, don't be a puff
And I let it play cause Dre's getting funky enough
It's getting funky, it's getting funky [x3]
Watch the smooth lyrics that take place
If you want another reason why it must be funky
Yo I am not a jackass meaning not a donkey
So I will play the game like it should be played
Drop the funk into the mix so the place will never fade
Ship it the the stations in your jurisdiction
Others say I'm dope, and the others say I'm bitching
No crowd can avoid the D-O to the C
When I'm P-E-R-F-O-R-M-I-N-G
On the stage, see the simple fact is I engulf
And known, I rock a funky beat without a cord so
It is my conclusion you will enjoy the fusion
And I will ascend with the style I am using
Knowing that it's tough and it's not a bluff
I think I'll let it play cause Dre's hitting funky enough
It's getting funky, it's getting funky [x3]
Dre make the funky hip-hop music so check it
Listen to the kick drop in with the click
And with no rehearses I'm dropping funky verses
Stupid with the bit that you think you are relying on
You love it when it rattles is the fact that I'm buying on
Suckers never come close cause of knowing
There is no stopping the D.O.C. when I'm flowing
But in the event that someone will try and juice this
Stop him in his tracks, show him that I am Ruthless
I don't give a damn, don't think that I am joking
Cause I don't think he is funny when you're messing with my money
Yo people tell me this: "Yo Dre you must stop him"
But with no frills, so I just drop him
Continue with the rhyme and make sure I get mine
With no static cause that's all I need to get my nine, but
Lessons have been learned now all kidding have been fronting
Let it play when the people say "Dre yo you're getting funky enough"
It's getting funky, it's getting funky [x3]
Deal with the D-O to the C
I'm your break so I can check around
See who the hell who is sitting down
I want all chairs off the floor
And if he stands to the wall, show him the door
And the PK nothing giving you something to rock to
To go nonstop to, not have to look at the clock you
Percieve, but can't believe you're being taken
By a beat so cool you start shaking
And shivering, cause I'm delivering the answer
Haven't seen you're a hellified dancer
You tried sitting but it just won't work
Cause the beat is to fresh
Don't even tell it won't be funky enough
It's getting funky, it's getting funky [x3]
And with the help of the Dr. Dre, kick it
It's getting funky on the mix now, right [x4]
Put it in the needle, and drop it on the one, boy~
