	Story Behind the Song Dirts favorite Line(s): ‘grab the microphone and feel the chord vibrate/ unplug it and my voice’ll still resognate/ comin off so smooth I could sell confederate flags in Harlem’. A graf friend of mine, SRVLNC, once gave me a tape that had this sample idea on it. It was the slow dreary loop you hear in this track. I always dug it but it was not complete as a track, just the loop. In NY I gave it to GC and he added drums to it and all those crazy noises (from a keyboard) that you hear on it now. The lyrics had been half written after SRVLNC first gave me the tape. I was excited about the loop and wrote about the first 5 bars. But without a finished track it was hard to push the rest of the way through. In NY that was all taken care of and I completed writing. It wasn’t until I got finished with all the lyrics that it really hit me what I wanted the song to relay. In most of my tracks I like the songs to convey a ‘feeling’ as much as they convey sounds. If I write about depression (‘Blunted Edge’) I want you to feel depressed just by listening to the song. For this track I found the ‘better a small fire to warm us than a big one to burn us’ chorus in my notebook. This represents that God and satan alike come with fire. One comes to burn us in the evils of the world while the other comes to purify us into righteousness. Regardless, to burn or purify takes fire. I wanted this track to concentrate on that ‘purification’ idea, even more specifically, prayer. Prayer is a process in which you communicate with God and he leads you into the means in which you get purified. So in a strange way this track was like a ‘hiphop meditation’ track. I wanted it to carry the vibe of intercession with it. When someone listened to it I wanted them to feel like they had to pray or something! I don’t know how most of my songs actually get perceived once they hit the masses, but I always get unique feedback on songs like this one. I have actually had people tell me that before they go to sleep they like to play this track and ‘wind down’ from the day and just focus on good things. Its weird too, because the actual track is so slow and moody, but if you really think about it….it does sound like a prayer or spiritual chant! Listen to it and think ‘incense rising up into heaven’. This one has never been performed live even though I have always wanted to. It would have to be done under the right circumstances (I had big ‘stage’ ideas for what should be goin on behind this song as it plays live), and I never thought, at a show, that it was right.
