	Story Behind the Song got this beat from nick in '99 had to fight him to get it b/c he didn't like it wrote the lyrics the first time i heard the beat, complete with arrangement and all the lyrics are just positive, optimistic... it's a slow song about being well and good just an introspective, meditative type of work wrote the song on the computer at work in '99, and immediately emailed them to nick more than a year later, had to get a friend to email me the lyrics before the session i'd emailed them to her, then lost them over time it took 10 mins to write, 10 mins to record two takes on top of each other Lyrics I let my fantasies fascinate me My passions permeate me Breath of God infiltrate me Creation of course create me My inner self locate me The folks I hate'll hate me That's no one, as of lately Sporty words illustrate me Let no man castrate me Let my low points sedate me Only deaf ears can negate me Meditation medicate me Emcees can not escape me Planet earth's movements shape me We revolve and rotate We want you all to notate the Way that I flow so faithfully Lives, lessons landscape me Accept my gifts gratefully Knowin' excellence won't wait for me That's why I'm reachin' up and takin' the Opportunity that was made for me No goals can dare evade me So once my mind is made we Record to high-quality tape we Distribute we duplicate we Stay humble in hopes of safety 'Til I'm buried, they may cremate me But let me not be too hasty Switch it up then cut and paste the Delicacies, damn they tasty Interests intoxicate me My senses stimulate me And they never get pastry flaky Not one emcee every ate me So don't ever underrate me And with no further wait see How brilliant Bavu Blakes be I'm able to speak, thankfully Pleased when I do, frankly I undid all the tapestry From scratch, interwove it innately Let less and less frustrate me Smooth despite what used to chafe me Let my voice box resonate me God force navigate me Wanna find me, gotta scrape the Bottom of the contiguous United States we Don't take hip-hop so playfully Not surprisin' we risin' 'Cause it's nearly hot as Hades I blow this hot air on any man With hopes to deflate me And bust out of my shell For he who puts the South on safety Make additions to this in two-cent increments you'll never break me We figured let's try a different style And I'll end up pullin' it off greatly Hold up wait the Beat just sorta delayed me, basically My mission in this is to innovate the Parameter of what rap is Without havin' to overstate the Honest and authentic original sound that makes me
