AKI TAKI
Written by Kato Hammond

Aki Taki I

Well now my name is Kato, and yes I like to Go-Go
And if you ask me how I like it, let the AllyKats know
Because you will never know what's on my mind
Don't try to scope me, you'll be wasting your time
I see the fellas are here and the ladies are near
So take your left hand - stick it in your underwear

Well, I'm 5 foot 3, handsome as can be
My mustache points down to a rich gotee
But in the winter time I wear my beard full grown
And if I'm not in the mood, please leave me alone
Frankie Beverly's my man, Sade is my girl
There's not a rock-um who could sock-um in this whole wide world
Because they play the music that's real laid back
And if you like to chill out, ain't nothing wrong with that
So with this dedication I will send to those guys
In the words of Kato - Aki Taki I

Well I'd like to thank my parents for the day I was born
They put the ax in my hand and said "Turn me on"
So I learned the guitar like they knew that I would
And my father said "Damn, that boy is good"
My mom was so happy, she she started to cry

Is this a true story?
Now would I lie

Let me tell my story before I run out of time
I was inspired by a cousin of mine
I felt that he was the best, so I tried to impress
To prove that I could be different from all of the rest
At the age of 14 was the very first time
That I went to a Go-Go with some buddies of mine
It was the very first time that I saw RE
And let me tell about the feeling that came over me
Right then and there it was plain to see
That I knew exactly what I wanted to be
People couldn't understand why I wouldn't up and dance
Just staring at the stage - I would what the band
Smoke was in the air - lovly ladies everywhere
But I didn't stop to stare, cause I really didn't care
I time I'll get mine - the ladies would be there
Ah yeah

So I went on a mission to get an audition
Because my preminition gave me permission
But pumping the gun, not second to none
Go home stay off the phone and get my homework done
To the Go-Go every week for the beat that's unique
Not a sound - not a sqeak - in attempts to reach my peak
Then to bed with the groove dancing in my head
I wake up the next morning to some bacon and eggs
Then to school with the groove beating on my desk
The teacher looks - drops her books and yells give it a rest
But, the groove is so funky I can't stop now
The bell rings - I get up and then I take a bow
See, I'm a slave to the rhythm cause its got my soul
And that the way my storie goes

Yeah
Ah Yeah
