Story behind the song
THIS SONG WAS THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY HARMONIZED (or sang) WITH A BEAT. THIS WAS PRODUCED BY THE WORLD FAMOUS DJ CRUCIAL OF F5 RECORDS. WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE BEAT I WAS INSTANTLY PULLED IN, SITTING ON THE BUS STOP I WROTE THIS WHOLE SONG IN 30 MINUTES. IT IS A BIT OF MY USUAL, A LITTLE BIT BATTLE, AND A WHOLE LOT OF KNOWLEDGE. THIS ISTANTLY BECAME A PERSONAL FAVORITE, SO MUCH SO THAT I PUT IT ON MY FIRST EVER 45 (7" VINYL) AS THE "A" SIDE. CHECK IT OUT AND HIT ME UP TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. PEACE. MOVE..... 314.435.6152

Album:
Produced by: DJ Crucial [additional scratches done by DJ Crucial]

Chorus: (4 Bars) [with scrath’n at the beginning]
(Singing) All I knowwwwww, and all I dooooooo, is, for youuu, youououoou… Is, foooooor youuu, youououoou…
Verse 1: (16 Bars)
I’m form a city where we even separate the more real form the real, and the only light out of this black hole is true skill. We watch movies with no substance, and eat food just the same, and wonder why a bad body can’t support a bad brain. I’m beyond doing my thang, I’m watch’n you do me now, so peep how, I’m the calling; and the redial. We make it a way of life, to yacobs, just a hunch, and I could never have a protégé, I’d expect too much. And how your not gett’n this yet but please let me work this; bootleg me; but on my life, I’m worth the purchase. Street merchants with a purpose, I weed out the worthless, then measure success from within cause that’s where the hurt is. There’s a lot of ways to obtain knowledge, but I’m one of the good ones, but if you front, then he front’s, and out the whole comes. Mad word-play, so happily words play on they, I plan my life out, by live’n it, day by day…
Chorus: (4 Bars)
(Singing) All I knowwwwww, and all I dooooooo, is, for youuu, youououoou… Is, foooooor youuu, youououoou…
Verse 2: (16 Bars)
When I go, bury a god in tomb 7, with Ramessess the II. 70 day funeral, god well respected. Instead of paraphrasing greatness, if you like then repeat it, my voice; deliverance indeed needed. The end result of a bad decision is even worse regret, trace my thoughts back to Kemet, I am the Sphinx. You and quality music never a link, mind on the brink, for you, walk’n and not drown’n is a feat. You’re not swift. So I’m a bring you to the light, my gift, and when self cee’s self you gone flip. My birth right is the crook and the flail; get into wisdom instead of jail, “message sent,” now read the mail. A movement end because of a few knuckle-heads, and idiots shouldn’t blow because of a few chance circumstances. Artist appreciate me, while haters just listen, cause they be look’n for the lines with their likeness I’m diss’n in…
Chorus: (4 Bars)
(Singing) All I knowwwwww, and all I dooooooo, is, for youuu, youououoou… Is, foooooor youuu, youououoou…
Verse 3: (16 Bars)
I got question, who loves Hip Hop? Do you love Hip Hop? Well I LOVE Hip Hop, together we can’t let it stop. I’m one with the Universe, cause I still live at the center, and throughout this verse I’ve planted perpetual motion sensors. So I can fell the movement I’ve created, measured by the energy from the heart and mind constantly collaborating. I got a strict regimen, I still say “MOVE” and don’t curse, and since we gotta swing, I swing for the eagle to get the purse. A wise man once said, “If you put salt on a birds tail you can catch it?” Then I replied, “Grandpa if you can that close then just grab it.” And he said, “That’s right grandson, now let’s go eat…” Now I’m grown, salt shaker in hand and ready to feast. I’ve mastered primitive thought travel, with new age reach. And told if you seek you shall find, so I seek just to seek. And I know words are words, and beats are just beats, but I make them do extraordinary things, beyond their means, that’s all I know…
Chorus: (4 Bars) [with scratches at the end]
(Singing) All I knowwwwww, and all I dooooooo, is, for youuu, youououoou… Is, foooooor youuu, youououoou… [Acapella] Is, foooooor youuu, youououoou…
