EVS or Electro Voodoo Superstition - This a remake of a dnb song that redvoid and I did at his house. I wanted to jungle it up. My lyrics were written in the front seat of his Acura TL as we cruised to get some Chinese food. He had some Adam F and Method Man or something and I just wrote and wrote and wrote. The original has a AWESOME verse by our friend Alex. It's available on funky49.com of course. My verse is hella long and tough to do live. More bass from the MS2000. "this is funky49, check the dot com, I bust a lotta nut, check the condom, burn my mp3s to your cd-roms, south jersey now tampa where i'm coming from"
lyrics
Electric Voodoo Superstition
[[redvoid]]
mixing drum and bass up in the hip hop place
funky49 and redvoid, are back up in your face
bring back the beat once again
mix up a batch of electric voodoo supertition
808s are live and kicking tracks that will make you shake your ass
feel the bass ignite and shatter glass
power of the groove, finesse to make it smooth
get nuts get up get out the way move
rhythm and walls will feel the earth pound
we get down to the sound of the underground
lift your voices and let your voice be heard,
we're mixing phat cerebrals like the player known as bird
mixing up dope faster than the Smith Kline
this track will jack you up faster than a white line
this ain't no corporate profit bullshit Glaxo
these are the tracks that we're putting on wax yo
I get up, I get down to the sound of the underground
I am the mastermind
the sizzle of the hats
the snare that goes THWACK
the rhythm the rhyme on my dime, one two
whatcha you gonna do drum and bass is in front of you
confronting you with the fusion of the blending of the two
styles that I kick and I stick in your face
the beats that we are dropping gonna tear up the place
resisting all the categories before us
do not ignore us
or risk the fate of having all your fans adore us
I came up with this groove just thinking what I thought might be cool
next thing you know the groove is making other MCs drool
you wanna know what we call this magic potion
moving your soul just like a ship the sails the ocean
evoking a sense of street with intelligence to stir your mind
the energy to move your behind you'll find
[[funky49]]
To all the
ladies in the place on extasy, standing next to me,
always touching me, rubbin me, wantin' me,
to have a good time but I got my mind on the bassline
cookin' Betty Crocker rhymes, yo is that a crime?
This is funky49, check the dot com
I bust a lotta nut, check the condom
burn my mp3s to your cd-roms
south jersey now tampa where i'm coming from
i'm never afraid to grab a pad and a pen
or hit rewind and then do it again
ARF stands for, Alien Rhyme Form
Redvoid, four-nine against the norm
be it living room or car on leather sits my ass
funds, stocks, real estate appreciates my cash
my APR low, my IQ high,
always smelling fresssh is my brown eye
my third eye, never blind, i'm never unkind
two kissing girls hell i don't mind
my thoughts contemporary, face never scary
you strip first before you dare bare me
these sounds are rarely heard on FM frequencies
we dip into the underground frequently
traveling around the world and the seven seas
droppin' verse written down or freestylee
wether we go half-tempo or staccatto
the drum and bass damn speeds up my libedo
fingers never yellow with the Chee-to
my flows, LFOs are always free tho
from 20 to 20 thousand hertz, you're hearing me
Presi- dente, Dos Equis, you're beering me
no guns or knives, no need to be fearing me
on stage or in the car, i know you're cheering me
feel the filter sweep back in the cheap seats
bringing all kind of rhymes to all kind of beats
bringing all kind of lines to all kind of styles
and bringing caffiene so we can stay wild
Redvoid gets A's in his D's and B's
never met a girl, didn't want to be with me
pleasant surprises are waiting for me
pleasant girls thighs are shaking for me
my thoughts, girls come quick like a DJs hand
TCPIP Hos say "Four-Nine's the man!"
cause I stand up straight, rhyme no flinchin
on this Electric Voodoo Superstition
