Before his stint in Incognito, Momrelle was already a solo recording artist who released two studio albums under his name. Also, he was once a member of gospel music group Seven. In a year, he toured with both D'Sound, and the Brand New Heavies as a guest performer. His success in touring impressed Incognito's frontman, Bluey Maunick, and he offered him the job as the vocalist of the acid-jazz outfit.
He made his Incognito full-debut on the band's 2006 album, Bees + Things + Flowers, in which he contributed as a main vocalist.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I may no here fot build a floor but it's alright
(Cause I 'm gon' it soon)
I may not be where I want in life
But all know, yeah, it's alright
(Keep on making room)
My circumstance will change from time to time
And I' ve learned how to dance in the rain
I've got this pice of mind to know that
You'll pick me uo, oh baby
When times I feel I can't do it, you. see me through it.
That's ehat you do.
Woman, you pick me up when all' s crazy
Shen I wanna trip I wear smile and Keep my cool
'Cause I got you, oh you.
When I've been beated up from the top
You reach out and turn me around.
Yeah, you' are alright (Got me going string)
We'll keep on focus within the frames
'Cause this picture. the pain and
It' alright.(Maybe there' s nothing wring)
There' s nothing we can' t handle.
A miracle' s. just around the corne now.
And if we don' t we get back all the seattle
We' ll find a way again, somehow.

When times I feel I can' t do it, (no no)
You see me through it. That' s what you di.
Woman, you pick me up when all' s crazy
Oh i Know I' ll find a way baby, I Know I' ll find a way
