Butterfly personifies funk in this line – making it into a neighbor of theirs. They grew up around funk; funk and Digable are close like neighbors; funk’s doors are open to Digable whenever they please.

This casual line serves to emphasize how much of a major influence funk is on their music.

Twist in this line can mean to twist up a joint, or to twist one’s body in dance. Either way it’s something Digable Planets do a lot. These are the actions that make up their existence – and the second half of the line provides their reason.
