"...a bastard performance of modern jazz based on riffs looped almost till monotony..." But Mop Mop is also exotic rhythm, Italian melody, and improvisation. Sounds like Nicola Conte, Gerardo Frisina, The Five Corners Quintet.
Andrea Benini (born March 14, 1977), aka Mop Mop, is a musician, music producer, and composer from Cesena, Italy. He has worked in jazz, funk and club music. In 2005, his main project became Mop Mop, a funk/afro/jazz combo. As of 2013, Benini is living and producing new works in Berlin.
Mr. Know It All
Mop Mop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Ain't it something y'all
When somebody tells you something bout you
Think that they know you more than you do
So you take it down another pill to swallow
Well ya like to bring me down don't ya
But I ain't laying down, baby
I ain't going down
Can't nobody tell me how it's gonna be
Nobody gonna make a fool out of me
Baby you should know that I lead not follow
[Chorus]
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
'Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
Mr Play Your Games
Only got yourself to blame
When you want me back again
But I ain't falling back again
'Cause I'm living my truth without your lies
Let's be clear baby this is goodbye
I ain't coming back tomorrow
[Chorus]
So what, you've got the world at your feet
And you know everything about everything
But you don't
You still think I'm coming back but baby you'll see
[Chorus]
Mr Know It All
Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
The song "Mr. Know It All" by Mop Mop is about standing up for yourself against those who think they know everything about you. The lyrics describe a scenario where someone is being told something about themselves by another person, but they know deep down that it's not true. The singer is not allowing this other person to control them or their actions. The chorus emphasizes that this person doesn't truly know the singer and therefore doesn't have the right to tell them what to do or how to act.
The song demonstrates the theme of self-empowerment and not allowing others to control or define you. It encourages listeners to trust their own instincts and not be swayed by others who claim to know better.
