Ay Yo Mo

about

My love song to Mo. and don't get it twisted, love lives in many directions and my love for her has come through our small talk and the opportunity to work in chaotic peace. Ripped off of Nelly"s Luven Me, which was originally ripped from One Way's track Don't Stop Ever Loving Me. This is also the song that gets most of workers feelin nostalgic when it comes on. It was like tailor-made to be re-made into Ay Yo Mo, because to sample the beat, you have to get Nelly saying "ay yo M" in there. <3

lyrics

in Saint Louis, Missouri, we say "Ay Yo Mo"
and at Mokabe's we say, "Ay Yo Mo"

Ay Yo Mo, how ya doin? it's ya son now
and uh, his name is John, he put the drugs down
and he's tryin to do some things that'll make ya proud
instead, everytime they call it's for Winter Outreach
("always smell like cigarettes")
and we smell like cigarettes and we sit at the bar and we textin
sometimes i wanna come up and sit next to ya
put my arm around yr shoulder and say, "Ay Mo, can i go out to Boulder?"
for a few days, and make a few treys
and come back, and be real playful
and we stay, we stay full
off all the food that you gave us
("always smell like cigarettes")
go out for a smoke break
and i don't know, maybe make up a joke late
it's late, like it's late, it's late
("always smell like cigarettes")
we'll be smokin at the bar tonight
cuz tonight we work til the midnight hour

Ay Yo Mo, Ay Yo Mo

then Nelly raps on my mixtape!

RoosterJake Missouri

Rooster Jake Cohen performed solo as Barely Free in a set of the sort of music he might have as part of the beat for the hip- hop version of the outfit. And there was something great about seeing a guy wearing a Larry Bird jersey, a Moog hat, jean shorts and oddly patterned leggings manipulating samples, operating what looked like a modular synth and otherwise creating noisy yet melodic atmospheres ... more
