I made a version of this song way back and it was really not to my taste so I kind of abandoned this one for a while. But when I showed it to my friends Lemind and Bayron, who work on the album with me, they thought there was some potential to it so I gave it to Bayron who gave it a “Pimp My Ride” revival, when he showed me the new version it was almost completely changed but the result was impressive.
lyrics
Babe you know it
If I could do something
