LMNO was introduced to the music industry in late 80's early 90's witnessing at first hand the N.W.A. legacy, (see the LMNO's cameo appearance in the D.O.C.'s "Formula" video with Dr. Dre). LMNO was recruited by Rhyme Syndicate to be in his first group with fellow Visionaries member Key-Kool. After the group disbanded, LMNO worked on various demo projects until his debut on the Circle of Power (of Blak Forest) album. LMNO then contributed works on the Blak Forest crew album "You are Now Entering."
With the West Coast Underground and it's rising star Ras Kass grabbing the attention of the hip-hop world, heads on the West and East tuned into Key-Kool & Rhettmatic's "E=MC5," a posse cut featuring Ras Kass and his crew Western Hemisfear; ironically, the "white kid" from Long Beach named LMNO shocked audiences with the infamous "Don't f--- with LMNO, or I'll send your demo tape to Jerry Heller" From that point, LMNO began gaining attention, and could very well have fallen into the "shock-line rapper" category, yet, this spiritually maturing artist chose quite a different path, and left the "tongue & cheek" style for others to exploit.
Charging forward as a spiritual soldier, with faith and JAH as motivation, LMNO began evolving as an artist and a person. After shaping and voicing his views on the Visionaries albums "Galleries" and "Sophomore Jinx," LMNO was ready for his debut solo effort. His debut 12 inch sleeper cult-classic "Hit the Fence," as well as the popular 12" inch releases "Radiant" and "Grin & Bear It" had heads waiting for a full length album.
LMNO's "Leave My Name Out" (Up Above Records) includes his popular singles, along with brilliant LMNO/MadLib team-up "Head Lock," yet it is the spiritually truthful, life-driven songs that seemed most appropriately reflective of the times in which the album was released: just after the tragic events of 9/11.
LMNO has been putting in much work with Visionaries doing numerous shows, recordings and touring. LMNO is currently promoting his third album " P's & Q's " IN STORES NOW on UP ABOVE RECORDS/CAROLINE DISTRIBUTION.
LMNO is still putting in much work with Visionaries doing numerous shows, recordings and touring. He is currently promoting his fifth album "WORKETHIC" IN STORES Jan. 23rd on Technicali Sound / Super D Distribution... Give Thanks & GOD BLESS
Invigorating
LMNO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Invigorating, high pulsating
What we got banging is such a great thing
The prince of this earth must bow to the king
Know your place amongst these human beings
[Verse One]
It doesn't take a rocket scientistTo make your own hypothesis
On who's rockin this
Thank God for you mad child
You made me a happy man
Let's go ahead and deposit these grants
Stay based and confused and I'm holding on to clarity
Blow my funds hit the show for charity
don't play I fight compassion asking for forgiveness
'cause it's only God I sin against
L to the M to the N to the O
If it was'nt how could I say it was so
Grew up in the L.B. where kids brought they're brothers heat
Those were the back whoppers and bunch seed
On tour must be at my class reunion
Like oh I been workin and what you been doing?
Step to it, through the thick and thin
I knew it would happen just did'nt know when
Invigorating
(Chorus)
Repeat 2X
Invigorating, high pulsating
What we got banging is such a great thing
The prince of this earth must bow to the king
Know your place amongst these human beings
[Verse Two]
A stove away, there's just no way
He could barely defeat the purpose so erase the gray
Blue sky's all day
Doesn't effect my mood the sun still shines
there's more to this then what the ear hears
Like what it took to get me here
If I'm an open book, number one novel
Can't say I grovel, Lord keep me humble
Pick me nose branch I'll listen to your heart
I prefer mine pumping like non-tart
Do what you will, I'll love you still
There's a piece of me in Mandeville
Beauty ay no way take off hoser
It feels good to deal with a fore-closure
We'll know when it's over (echoes)
(Chorus)
Repeat 2X
Invigorating, high pulsating
What we got banging is such a great thing
The prince of this earth must bow to the king
Know your place amongst these human beings
[LMNO repeating]
Know your place amongst these human beings
Invigorating, high pulsating
Invigorating, invigorating, invigorating
The song "Invigorating" by LMNO is a powerful lyrical composition that touches upon themes of gratitude, humility, and the awe-inspiring nature of the universe. In the chorus, LMNO repeatedly emphasises the invigorating feeling created by their music, describing it as "high pulsating" and "such a great thing". The reference to the Prince of this Earth bowing to the King suggests the song's religious undertones - indicating that the artist's faith is a significant motivator. The lyrics follow a stream-of-consciousness style, with each verse providing snippets of thought and feeling.
Verse One touches upon the artist's thankfulness towards a person called 'mad child', for making him a happy man. The reference to 'depositing grants' suggests that the artist has received some sort of financial contribution from 'mad child.' LMNO then proceeds to describe how he manages to balance confusion with clarity, by giving to charity and asking for forgiveness when he falls short of god's expectations. The verse also features a reference to L.B - Long Beach - and describes the artist's familiarity with gangs and violence.
