about

Born and raised on the mean streets of Harlem, one of Manhattan's (New York City) neighborhoods. It was in the St Nicholas Houses that his love of music inspired him toward song writing and music production. He wrote his first verse at the age of eight. At the age of 12, the 5 member group the Serious Joints was formed, winning many neighborhood contests. At the birth of Hip/Hop in the Bronx, Dez was inspired by the early creators like Grand Master Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Caz, A year later Dez formed the group The Phase 4 Crew, writing many of the rhymes that the group performed. Later a Rapper/Producer team was formed doing local radio programs, shows and contests.
After a 15 year hiatus, the birth of his daughter and an encouraging friend sparked a new fire within him to get his musical vision out to the public.

lyrics

Light Another One (of this) by Dez McKinzie

It's Gia's Da Da!
He kiss her Night Night!
He give her Ba Ba!
He change her Diap Diap!

Alright, alright,
Shall I proceed (Yes, Indeed!)
Ay Yo! Light Another One of this

If you're feeling in the mood
Just to cool
And your will is to chill
and your bound just to lounge
In the here and the now

And you read it and it's legible
You're empty on your schedule...
Light another one of this.

If your weekends starting great
out the gate
then you found out that your fate
is that you don't have to wait,
It's like the fish took the bait
'cause now your Friday's starting out with a plate and a date!

Just got off of work
Now I'm heading homeward bound
First I'm gonna eat something then
I'm gonna blow it down.

I got a sports metaphor that want to know how that might sound
Probably would describe it like a pitcher standing on a mound
But before he pitch he got to check the catcher for the sign
I got to check my chick to see if she smoked the last dime.

No, my Babas didn't. means the batter tries to hit it
The wind up!
The pitch!
The twist!
The lit!

It was Shawn with the tip that hip me to the Kit!
It cleans the your eyes, your clothes, your mouth, the whole shit!
Broke down some weed,
no stems, no seed!

Shall I proceed? (Yes, Indeed)
Ay Yo! Light Another One of this


If you just laid it down, for the crown
now you're thinking second round
from the wall to the ground
from an inch to a pound
or Fuck the weed recovery's over
and you want her NOW!
Light Another One of this.

If it's time to celebrate the life rate of the
Marriage to your mate
Bless the union of your state
from here to Heaven's gate
“Hey!” to the couple, wish you double, yeah,
I congratulate!

Haven't smoked.
Totally dry.
But I'm not thinking DeTox,
I just don't have no more,
I'm just thinking 're-stock!'

So off to the weed spot.
Yeah, I fucking think 'NOT'!
That block got so hot, It could just get me 'LOCKED'!
So, what's my pick?
Call up “Nik”! - Plus he lives on my block
If I'm fucked up, he'll look out. That's just how we rock..
Said he got no 'regular', only got the 'sour' there.
It's so funky if you're riding,
better bring the Tupperware!

It was Shawn with the tip that hip me to the Kit!
It cleans the your eyes, your clothes, your mouth, the whole shit!
Broke down some weed,
no stems, no seed!

Shall I proceed? (Yes, Indeed)
Ay Yo! Light Another One of this

If your mission was some fishing
but today your not wishing that you didn't
and It's all because you listened
to your man's premonition
He was right - saved you from your girl,
the questions and the bitchin'!

Light Another One of this.
If you're feeling my announcing
got you bouncing
While I'm verbally jousting
If your driving it or
parking it
Standing there or docking it..
Fuck it! Light Another One if you feel
this cat is rockin' it!

So, I'm a tok a toast to
Responsible Fathers
And Single Moms doing it
While he's givin' nada
The Hardworking, 40 hours pay who was slightly
The twelve hour cats and the women working nightly

Ay yo! That break is gonna come. When it do, seize that moment!
You've got to 'Mike Tyson' that, when life is the opponent.
So, when it comes,
Grab it!
Master it!
Own it!
And that could be the 'Fuck You!' to your HATERS,
like a Bonus!
To all of those struggling and dealing with some problems
from the Westside, the Dirty South, to me, Harlem -
Every dog has his day, odds of the statistics -
No, I haven't smoking yet, I'm just optimistic!

Life's a chore and a war, but we keep on soldering
until the game has ended then the race is not over-n
Some encourage, some Discourage but I'll just keep on motorin'
They can throw me out the pool but I'll just keep on going in
12 more seconds over and
the end of this flow-a-gin
Boogie Bro, be easy, check your man, solo'n

Oh, I know some will never roll again!
To all of those who don't twist go and pack your bowl again!

Light Another One of this...
