Do U Know It

from & Friends & Family by RL Heyer

/

about

I wrote this song as part of a Bushwick Book Club virtual performance inspired by the Prince autobiography The Beautiful Ones.

lyrics

What's that sound
Feet are on the ground
And you know
I don't know, do u know it?

Straight downtown
Pedal to the ground
Gonna blow, go below
Gonna show it

Is it a question of your resolve
Looking forward or turning back, my friend
Are you strong enough to get involved
Baby, when the hammer hits the flint

I guess we're gonna have to wait and see
If you walk or if u gonna run
Nothin' ever keeping up with me
I'm a bullet out the barrel of a gun
and I say

What's that sound
Feet are on the ground
And you know
I don't know, do u know it?

Straight downtown
Pedal to the ground
Gonna blow, go below
Gonna show it

What's that sound
Feet are on the ground
And you know
I don't know, do u know it?

Pound by pound
The tower coming down
When it go
Then you don't get below it

Wear that crown
Leader of the town
If you want it to grow
Gotta hoe it

Straight downtown
Pedal to the ground
Gonna blow, go below
Gonna show it
