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

Did Me A Favor – Dez McKinzie (backgrounds/adlib – Wylie L McLeod,
John Campbell (Majic)

( Thoughts of my ex-girl got me angered
even more for the brother who banged her! )

Some say, < Wha? >
“It's business, Never personal“
but that don't mean that those cats was merciful

I took my personal
I put it in my business. < Talk about it! >
Had to write a rap!
The Brother had to have a finish!

So, thoughts of my ex-girl got me angered, < Why is that? >
even more for the brother who banged her < Damn! >

So on my second solo bid, yo this is what I did -

DUCK! Yo, Here it comes, Kid!

This goes out to the mother-sucker who played the role
of my girl's lover
I don't blame you 'cause you wanted minerals
But those minerals can cause funerals!

And especially when a cat tries to test me
like I'm candy from Nestles' < Break it down. >

Be down with the Ho who molests me
Or played me like a horn
like Dizzy Gillespie! < Do it now! >

Now, I think that was a good enough reason for me
to cancel your whole season!

Lot of other brothers would have “lamped” out,
Would have camped out,
To have you stamped out! < Word! >

But you caught a level-headed man
who understands
the decision's in the chick's hands!

But that don't mean that I didn't want to do you, <Go ahead, go ahead.. >
get a shank and put it right through you < Yep! >
Could've told the crew your name -
Even without blood stains,
results would've been the same - < Major! >
PAIN!
I can't tell ya exactly what saved ya.
I'm here to tell ya that-
You that did me a favor (You did me a favor You did me a favor)
You that did me a favor (You did me a favor You did me a favor)

Yo.Yo.Yo. (woo ooh ooo ooh ooh ooh)
You nearly got roped < uh! >
You nearly got choked < uh! >
You nearly got yoked < uh! >
You nearly got poked < uh! >
You nearly got broked < uh! >
You almost got bashed < uh! >
almost got smashed < uh! >
almost got - SLASHED < uh! >
All for a piece of ass!

So, rather than putting a few stomps through your head,
I'm gonna kick you some “Thanks!” instead

'Cause you're the mother-sucker
helped exposed all the adultery
She was giving up the poul-try!

You know I did what my mother taught me. <And what's that, son?>
I amputated that ass! Can you fault me?! <Nah! Nah!>

I threw her back
all the jewelry that she bought me.
Knowing that she did it with you, that sure insults me. < I heard it! >

Just knowing that my girl
was flippin' <Rippin'! Trippin'!>
Rip through a flag - that trick was CLIPPIN'! < yeah, I know >

So, Homey, tell me really, what would you be feeling? < you already know >
Would you be on some murder/death/killing? <Yeah! >

I wouldn't dig a ditch for that stinking no go trick
But that was you, yo you'd probably want a brother-lynch

I know you would be ditchin' < yeah >
while I'm just simply ditchin' < uh huh >
too stinkin' chick who act like she was scared of the kitchen! < pussy >

Well, you can have the Ho
She came and got her clothes,
You probably let her stay.
I told that chick that she had to - GO!

< This is messin' with my flow >
< She's nothin' but a Ho!>
< Hit me in a late night, maybe we can get right..>

Days away from me your gonna miss this. < miss >
Being with me was like Christmas

The most important thing
you're saving me some paper
That's why I'm telling you:
You that did me a favor (You did me a favor You did me a favor )
You that did me a favor (You did me a favor You did me a favor )


Yo. Yo. Yo. Well, it look like you can say
a brother dis'd me < He better try again and bring some friends! >

Because he (Missed me!)
You and Her couldn't make a brother feel embarrassed.
Especially a chick whose kitty was – AVERAGE! < HA HA! HA HA! >

So what, did you think that my armor had a kink? < Nah! >
I touched her every which way through the window to the sink

from the tub to the mink < yep >
then reversed up the link < yep >
She'll tell you about the position that I call the 'clink'! < What's that? >

Ask her about the licks. Yeah.
Ask her about the stick! < Yeah >
You think you know a spot,
Brother, I done had my pick!


I have delivered some nuts that were behemoth!
Trust me, Brother, I never lie on my genius!

Au Naturale! Went a marathon distance! < Like the Olympics! >
No Viagra. No public assistance! < HA HA! HA HA! >

Now if your girl would offer, do you think that I would forfeit? < Can't do that! >

Or would I make her preach like she was standing at the pulpit?

Now if I had a chance I probably wouldn't administer
the type of stroke to make her
want to tell the minister

Now really, don't think that it's 'cause I'm a gentleman,
it's 'cause she's lookin' like a female
David Letterman!

< Women come and go >
< like air when it blows >
< let him keep that Ho, you already know >
< We do it like this! >

Well, it looks like I'll be doing
my new Neighbor, < You might as well... >

That's why I'm telling you:
You did me a favor (I'm doin' the neighbor)
You did me a favor (Stay with your slaver)
You did me a favor (Watch my hand as I wave it)
You did me a favor (You did me a favor baby – Hey!)
