Being half French and half Jewish Met came up battling on street corner ciphers and local Mc competitions with a mission to prove himself as an mc. Met attended LaGuardia “Fame” high school of the performing arts as a vocal major in the late 80’s and began searching for a path to follow in music.

As a concert pianist in the 50’s, Met’s grandmother was a big inspiration and attribution to his natural ability to play keys and produce music. Big Daddy Kane was Met’s first influence to writing rhymes. Kane said “you could put wings on your tongue and still couldn’t say nothing fly” and met thought it was the most genius thing he had ever heard. After he heard that line, met sacrificed every minute of his day thinking of clever punch lines, metaphors, and wordplay to show off to the neighborhood hip hop heads. This is where the name “Mr. Metaphor” was born. He started calling radio stations like Martin Moore and DJ Meham, Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito, and any other radio station he could get his voice heard on.

He began making a local buzz for himself. After internal conflict with his first group “SUB 4”, met decided to accept the invite from the other local Park Slope group making noise “Zooty Zoo”, and joined forces with Building Block (Block McCloud) and Will Tell. The 3 artists formed the group Word A Mouth and went on to be featured on the Lyricist Lounge Volume 1 album hosted by De La Soul. This Album was released in the golden era of hip hop and opened up an audience to Mr. Met so detrimental to his success today.

Soon the legendary Pumpkinhead, another Park Slope native MC came into the picture and the chemistry between the artists was like none other. They formed the Brooklyn Academy and went on to release a number of independently released records that topped college radio, billboard and dance charts.

Mr Met released his first and only independently produced album “Metropolis” in 2005. Experimental and mainly self produced, met composed a play list of no sample songs he created on the Triton Keyboard, playing different melodies and chords, singing his hooks, and experimenting with his bi-lingual capability to rap and sing in French. That same year met traveled to Cannes France with the Lyricist Lounge for the “Midem” conference, and made some strong business contacts with many international music companies around the world.

Along with experimenting on the musical side of hip hop, met decided to step into the business side of the entertainment business and began event coordinating and throwing parties. He started Remarcable Entertainment which has now gained a very respectful reputation for its brand. Met has worked with Funk Master Flex of NY’s hot 97, DJ Gold finger, DJ Red Alert, Stretch Armstrong, Rich Medina, and has gained relationships with hundreds of DJ’s in NYC. As a solo artist met has toured England, Canada, France, and has performed in Vermont, Albany.

New Jersey, and countless venue’s in NYC. As a member of Brooklyn Academy Met has toured all over the world and countless cities up and down the east coast and the Midwest. Met is a highly respected artists. He is your favorite artist’s favorite artist. His witty lines, advanced flows, bi-lingual raps, and incomparable ability to write a song separates him from the over saturation of mc’s in the hip hop game. He is a true professional song composer made for the entertainment business.

Sometimes
Mr. Metaphor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I roam the night, I come home in the morning light
I guess sometimes I get carried away
You know me really good, I don't do what you think I should
But somehow you know it's gonna be okay

I get lost sometimes, but you find me, I get lost sometimes (repeats 4x)

She wakes up to the telephone, come and drive your boyfriend home

He gave us your number, he's feeling no pain
The little girl she understands, she loves the boy inside the man
Just hurry back to mama, back to mama she say

I get lost sometimes, but you find me, I get lost sometimes (repeats 4x)

She got magic - I know it
She got magic - I know it

I get lost sometimes (I get lost sometimes)
I get lost sometimes (I get lost sometimes)
I get lost some, I get lost some, I get lost some - I get lost sometimes

I get lost sometimes, but you find me, I get lost sometimes (repeats out)

Overall Meaning

The song "Sometimes" by Mr. Metaphor appears to be about a person who occasionally gets lost or carried away in their life, wandering the dark streets at night, and not always making the best decisions. However, there is someone in their life, perhaps a lover or close friend, who understands them and accepts them for who they are. This person is always there for them, even when they are lost, and helps to guide them back to a safer path.

The first verse describes the singer's tendency to roam the night and come home in the morning light. They admit that they sometimes get carried away, perhaps indulging in reckless behavior or partying too much. Despite this, there is someone in their life who knows them well and understands that they don't always do what they "should." This person somehow sees through their mistakes and has faith that everything will turn out okay in the end.

The second verse shifts to a different perspective, as someone else wakes up to a phone call asking them to come and drive their boyfriend home. The little girl in the situation understands the situation and urges her loved one to hurry back to mama. This verse could be interpreted as a parallel story to the first verse, showing how someone else also has someone in their life to guide them back to safety.

Overall, the song seems to be about the human tendency to sometimes get lost or carried away in life, but also about the importance of having someone who understands and supports us through these difficult times. It is a reminder that even when we feel lost, there is always a way back home.
