No! The lyrics starting from 3:25 are "Don't do me no damn favors, I don't know karate, but I know Ka-razor!
You hear 3 syllables, not two! James always rhymed his lyrics, not squeezed them in to make them fit. He was pitting his straight razor up against Karate moves. Why is that so hard for you to get? Favor... razor""". Come on ... I know crazy!??? That's crazy!
So how does someone protect themselves from some one who knows Karate by knowing crazy! Come on now. He was saying he would cut them with a razor! How old are you? Apparently you didn't grow up in the 70's!
@shaaronie For the longest time I throught he was saying i know Ka-crazer or something sounding like, but after u said he was saying Karazor I listen to that part twice and yeah that what he said Karazor you can hear him clearly say that. The thing with James Brown lyrics in his songs you have listen carefully because you wont always understand what jame brown saying because he will say word so fast you think he saying something else but turn out it not that word. Thanks for clearing that up.
No it's you. Notice how all of his lines rhyme through out the entire song. Favor and razor rhyme. Favor and crazy don't. It was a really popular song during the 70's and the karate craze was also big. So James said, "Don't do me no darn favor. I don't know Karate but I know Ka-Razor! Not crazy. How do you know crazy!? He was saying he would pull out his straight razor and cut up the guy who knew Karate! Get it! Get it!
nice song, but sounds muffled a bit.

But James Brown definitely says "Craze-a" in the song...rhyming the word "favor" pronounced "Fave-a"
