"'Funk on Ah Roll'" is a song written by James Brown and Derrick Monk and recorded by James Brown. It appears in three different versions on his 1998 album 'I'm Back', two of which are remixes. A number of additional remixes of the song, including a popular UK garage mix by Grant Nelson as Bump & Flex, were issued on 12" and CD in the United Kingdom in 1999, resulting in the song reaching No. 40 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 1 on the UK Dance Singles Chart. It did not chart in the United States.
'Rolling Stone' reviewed the song favorably, commenting that it "reclaim[s] Jimmy Nolen chicken scratch for the engine of life it is".
The track reuses the guitar part and horn section of Brown's 1971 release "Hot Pants".
