about

DL stays true to his production roots with this ode to “studio equipment”. With a hook from Amy stating “everyday I see you my hands were made for you” it becomes clearer to understand where DL’s heart lies. As an avid Akai MPC user, Funky DL has taught himself the machine inside and out, even having to open the sampler to replace a burnt out memory chip whilst recording the project. A music lover’s favourite appears in the form of Grover Washington JR’s ‘Mister Magic’, which Amy covered on her debut album as an unlisted bonus track.

lyrics

Intro
Let’s go!!


Hook
To the beat ya’ll, keep on ya’ll [x3]
To the beat ya’ll, keep on
[Repeat]


Verse One
I was made for this music I live for the audio
And that’s just how the cookie crumbles like Oreo’s
Crazy beats and a mic in the studio
To make the kind of sound to have ya shaking ya booty yo’
Kick drum bounce snare drum rock
Plus the dope soulful sounds I place on top
So when my record gets promo and my album drops
Make sure your play button works to hell with the stop
Yep I said it producer I want my credit
Plus I engineer the track arrange and do the edit
Mix down, until I feel I’m blessed with sound
King classic and nobody aint taking my crown, word
Beats and rhymes that aint no problem
Got the studio equipment that gets the job done
So you hearing this on FM or AM
CD’s and cassette tapes we cause mayhem
And if ya tools aint sharp then don’t blame them
Hot tracks name them then I got to save them
Reload them, yo I told them
They took too long to make a purchase I sold them
I got the Tascam, I got the Korg
I got the Behringer connected to the boards
I got the wave files, the mp3
So Amy tell em’ how I feel about my MPC

Chorus
Everyday I see you; my hands were made for you [x2]


Hook
[Let’s Go] To the beat ya’ll, keep on ya’ll [x3]
To the beat ya’ll, keep on
[Repeat]




Verse Two
The nicest on the mic it’s the Funk D, dot
Its classic they can’t match this,
The Wash we got music that’s made by the most fantastic
Spitting on this Amy Winehouse, Mr Magic
It’s like Acid Jazz, blended with Hip-Hop
Any dope break beat gone have to get got
And put in my MPC the 2000
Sequenced straight into bars that loop round
And adjust the reverb, touch the EQ
You want good music? That’s like me too
And we do just that and aint stopping em’
The original track was Grover Washington Junior
Plus we Washington Classics
You gotta problem?
It’s just music dawg it aint serious
But with my MPC I’m mischievous
And crafty, the beats nasty and sounds blatantly
Kind of like the sound Rich H had for Amerie
But it’s just one thing that got me trippin’
It’s the way that I get the people to take a listen
I got the NS-10’s, I got the Sony’s
I got so locked in I got lonely
So Ms Winehouse, if ya’ listening
Tell em’ what I feel about my studio equipment

Outro
Let’s go!!

Chorus [fades]
