While growing up in Little Haiti, Smitty came home one day to see a friend fatally shot due to involvement in the drug game. The incident made him more aware of his future. In 1997 he decided to enroll at Florida A&M University to major in journalism. However, his aspiration to become a full-fledged artist led him to switch coasts after only two and half years of school. He would eventually, through a friend, get the opportunity to start in the hip-hop industry by flying out to meet with legendary producer Dr. Dre while he was filming The Wash. After many hours waiting around on set, Smitty finally got the chance to rap in front of Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre was impressed and Smitty was asked to work on a few tracks for The Wash soundtrack.
In addition to working on the soundtrack, Smitty has also worked on several songs, including two chart hits - 'Shake Ya Tailfeather' by P. Diddy, Nelly & Murphy Lee and 'Bump, Bump, Bump' by B2K. He has collaborated with fellow hip-hop artists such as Trick Daddy, Scarface and Kanye West.
An opportunity to sign with Aftermath Records, Arista Records, Capitol Records, Def Jam, Elektra Records, and Jive Records were all offered, but were turned down in lieu of creative freedom. Smitty eventually signed with Clive Davis's J Records.
In July of 2005, Smitty released his debut single effort Diamonds on My Neck, a moderate success on the Billboard charts, the video for which was directed by Hype Williams. His album Life of a Troubled Child was supposed to be released in fall 2005 but was shelved for unknown reasons. He released two mixtapes, The Voice of the Ghetto and Heart of the South.
One Time
Smitty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I hear the music up loud
Nothing new, not a surprise
My girl gotta work out
She stays fit I love her size
Catch her twerking in the mernin'
Tone her core legs hips ass and thighs
High Torque Twerk, twerk
All I can do is lurk, smirk like a jerk
No Alarms or Alerts
Perked Up, Bae Assertive Twerkin Early
Early Bird gets the worm
My new bae can catch a snake wit' her charms
She's up in the dawn before dusk
Well before daybreak shaking like bacon
Breaking eggs then beatin 'em in a bowl
I awake expecting breakfast
I find her buns buttered rollin’
Golly how she's streaming sweat
Bet she's been at it for a minute
Horny really wanna hit it
Gotta pace until she's finished
Watch her pop it like blemishes
Body so tight, should get commish
Right cheek lift high recline switches
Her gifts tick hands and wrists upon knees
Double dribble dips
Lip lickin whipping around curves
Left this lyricist at a loss for words
So verklempt
At how she's Twerkin in the mernin, mernin
Booty like an onion, make a grown man cry
I just started yawning, wipe the cool from my eyes
She been busy goin in, throwin it getting all her songs in, zoned in
Twerkin Twerkin Twerkin
Inna
Mernin mernin mernin
Twerkin Twerkin Twerkin
Inna
Mernin mernin mernin
She dont want no wake-up calls
Good green and medicine balls
Wake bake and shake
Perfect way 2 start her mernin off
Trap music bumpin; dolph, jeezy chainz and rick ross
Tunechi in her playlist, lil uzi vert yuh
Omg shes the twerker for me
I blend her smoothies fry me a grill cheese
She puts on her beats
Interchange both cheeks
Rolls clockwise, then counters
At performance peak
Plus, she's werkin all week
CEO industry
In the streets when we need to be
Indiscrete between the sheets
Better in the family room
Than twerkin early in these skreets
When she's complete
We drum a funky beat on the love seat
Twerkin Twerkin Twerkin
Inna
Mernin mernin mernin
Twerkin Twerkin Twerkin
I just started
Yawnin yawnin yawnin
She dont want no wake-up calls
Good green and medicine balls
Wake bake and shake
Perfect way 2 start her mernin off
She dont want no wake-up calls
Good green and medicine balls
Wake bake and shake
Perfect way 2 start her mernin off
She's oiled up for it
Looking all good
Pop that thang
Drop that thang sugar
She's oiled up for it
Looking too good
Pop that thang
Drop that thang sugar
I wish you would put it on this wood
Its hallow in the mernin
We both know you should
But, ayyyyy
Bet cha won't do it like that on this
Bet cha can't do it on this like that
Twerkin, twerkin
Inna mernin
