Funk the Future

Key: A Minor
Tempo: 116 BPM (tight, danceable groove)
*Style: Funk-pop with disco shimmer and synth-funk drive)

[Verse 1]

| Am7 | D9 |
Strap in tight, we’re breakin’ light,
| G13 | Cmaj7 |
Bassline ridin’ through the neon night.
| Am7 | D9 |
No rearview, no yesterday,
| G13 | Cmaj7 |
We’re dancin’ where the stars go play.

[Pre-Chorus]

| Fmaj7 | G |
Time’s a record, we’re the groove,
| Em7 | Am7 |
Feel that beat begin to move.
| Fmaj7 | G |
We’re not waitin’ for a better day—
| Em7 | A7 |
We’re gonna make it anyway.

[Chorus]

| Dm7 | G9 |
🎤 Funk the future, fire it up!
| Cmaj7 | Fmaj7 |
Let the rhythm disrupt, let the gravity drop.
| Dm7 | G9 |
We got stardust boots and hearts that ignite,
| Cmaj7 | E7#9 |
Gonna funk the future—funk it loud, funk it right!

[Verse 2] (same as Verse 1)

| Am7 | D9 |
Synth beams flashin', pulse divine,
| G13 | Cmaj7 |
Shake the cosmos, break the time.
| Am7 | D9 |
From Mercury to Venus swing,
| G13 | Cmaj7 |
We make the galaxy dance and sing.

[Pre-Chorus + Chorus – repeat as above]

[Bridge – Breakdown Groove]

| Bm7 | E9 |
Spin it like a satellite,
| Amaj7 | Cmaj7 |
Touch the stars and hold on tight.
| Dmaj7 | G13 |
Body electric, soul on shine,
| Em7 | A7 |
Time’s a loop—this funk is mine.

[Final Chorus – modulate up for lift-off!]

(Optional key change: to B minor if you want that disco finale punch!) | Em7 | A9 |
🎤 Funk the future, no rewind,
| Dmaj7 | Gmaj7 |
We’re the rhythm they’ll never find.
| Em7 | A9 |
In the past they danced to survive—
| Dmaj7 | F#7#9 |
Now we funk just to feel alive…

[Outro Jam Groove]

| Am7 → D9 → G13 → Cmaj7 |
(Repeat with vocal riffing + synth solo)
