The way this one came about is a trip. I was taking a shit at work in like 2009, going through Twitter on my shitty Nokia. Ras Kass needed a British female singer for a track, so I hit him up offering Bekah's services (she was a member of TMF at the time). He sent over the guide vocals (of him doing a girl's voice lol), she killed it and he was stoked. He offered us a verse in exchange for her work, so we took it and bam, we got this gem. My homie Theo is Ras's biggest fan, and he said he very rarely does verses like this so it makes this track even more special. Bekah came back and killed it hook too, while the homie Jon Rosner in Montreal added some guitar to nail it shut.
lyrics
[Intro: Cee]
Let’s get it
Cee, Rasy, TMF Bitch ah
Listen
[Verse 1: Cee]
I once heard that a learned man acts like he's all that,
But a wise man admit it when he's wrong coz if he slippin' then he fall back,
So please don't mind me, I try to be the latter,
Forgive me family, believe it that my reason matters,
I mean well, I'm only working just to better y'all,
My methods ain't the best but it's hurting if I ain't get involved,
My skin forever blessed with the Fam now, I'm damn proud,
So fuck a fad, how we be fitting in tryina stand out?,
So don't mind my ways, get a little bit tired these days,
Sick of dealing with the dramas, don't let it get to me, hardly I'm phased,
I couldn't be more focused,
Man what more can I say? Nothing else matters and this is my Black Album opus,
So watch us close kid,
My dues paid, me and Notion through playing, the crew changed and they saying that we the dopest,
All the struggles bring us closer, we a Movement, see,
We keep it comin', its fuckin' nothing so don't mind me, yeah
[Hook: Bekah]
Look at us now,
We’re heading in the right direction,
Everything happens for a reason,
Don’t you know,
So don’t mind me,
Everything I do is for you and I’m loving you forever don’t you see
[Verse 2: Ras Kass]
Live and let live, I’m not perfect but I twerk it,
You wanna see me jumping through flaming hoops like the circus,
I am not a toy, you see what that tiger did to Roy?
Go play with Woody, I’m the Real McCoy,
I’m not tryina change you,
And I can be irritated by some of the vain shit that you do,
Way I always saw it, the good outweighs the bad,
‘Til you treat me like a private in Vietnam tryina raise the flag,
Out of sight, out of time,
Forgive me if I’m out of line
[Bekah] I don’t mind yeah
I just wanna make you mine, but you can’t change me,
I’ma stay up on my grind, girl you can’t blame me,
Trying not to start a fight, you keep the drama going,
She tryina make a scene ‘til the whole damn club is knowin’,
So close to leave, honestly I’m supposed to leave,
So either get over it or be forced to get over me
[Hook: Bekah]
Look at us now,
We’re heading in the right direction,
Everything happens for a reason,
Don’t you know,
So don’t mind me,
Everything I do is for you and I’m loving you forever don’t you see
[Verse 3: Cee]
And don't ya see that?
I'm motivated by love, I've given everything up so I can succeed at,
Just being that Cee cat, the path is hella hard,
But nothing easy be worth achieving, so I'm regretting none,
And baby if I'm getting worked up and I'm nervous,
It's just that I'm excited and impatient when the work comes,
And it's urgent, coz me and my lady, we skating never,
I'm a movement by myself but we a force when we together,
And yo, so don't mind me, with this hindsight, I'ma sightsee,
And this limelight finna blind me, but my mind right and my heart's at ease,
And I, want it more now, wanna tour now, wanna see her smile, wanna see y'all proud,
Stage tore down, records sold out, big tings homeboy, I want it all now,
Yeah, we always been the motherfuckin' underdog,
And now the kid has got ya ready for the summer y'all,
Ya wanna know just why we do it? Just ask us,
We relentless with this effortless passion, homie don't mind me
[Hook: Bekah]
Look at us now,
We’re heading in the right direction,
Everything happens for a reason,
Don’t you know,
So don’t mind me,
Everything I do is for you and I’m loving you forever don’t you see
