Seymour Benzer (October 15, 1921 – November 30, 2007) was an American physicist, molecular biologist and behavioral geneticist. His career began during the molecular biology revolution of the 1950s, and he eventually rose to prominence in the fields of molecular and behavioral genetics. He led a productive genetics research lab both at Purdue University and as the James G. Boswell Professor of Neuroscience, Emeritus, at the California Institute of Technology.
Benzer was born in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, to Meyer B. and Eva Naidorf (from Poland). He had two older sisters, and his parents favored him as the only boy. One of Benzer's earliest scientific experiences was dissecting frogs he had caught as a boy. In an interview at Caltech, Benzer also remembered receiving a microscope for his 13th birthday, “and that opened up the whole world.” The book "Arrowsmith" by Sinclair Lewis heavily influenced the young Benzer, and he even imitated the handwriting of Max Gottlieb, a scientist character in the novel. Benzer graduated from high school at 15 years old.
Benisour... Akon...
Convict
So soft and slow
Never knew a girl could be so Godamn cold
I know, the way she move
Got me spinning my dough, and yo
If you seen what I had seen on that pole, just know
That I was wrong for falling in love
I was wrong for falling in love
(They always say don't love a hoe)
I was wrong for falling in love
(don't do it yo)
I was wrong for falling in love
(they always say don't love a hoe, but I just went against the grain)
It was a feeling I can't explain, and it felt like harmony
Singing in my face like Diddy, daddy, doo da dey
I don't want it to ever go away
It went around me every day
Singing in my face like diddy daddy do da dey
[Verse 1: Benisour]
Silly me, so foolish
Voice in my head sayin "man don't do it"
But she stood 6 feet in them heels
Face like a china dog, with a body to kill
Know it was about cash, wish it was real
I smile, her walk, plus I good the kitty feel
We were takin trips every other week
Grenade epimony, gifts from Tiffany
Said she was sick of me, said that we need space
Come to find out she found another dude with more cake
From the beginning I knew I made a mistake...
I was wrong for falling in love,
I was wrong for falling in love,
(they always say don't love a hoe)
I was wrong for falling in love,
... (don't do it yo)
I was wrong for falling in love,
(they always say don't love a hoe, but I just went against the grain).
It was a feeling I can't explain, and it felt like harmony
Singing in my face like diddy daddy do da dey
I don't want it to ever go away
It went around me every day
Singing in my face, like diddy daddy do da dey
[Verse 2: Benisour]
Yeaa...
I'm here feeling like me ya'll
So sick
Thought this was the chick I could spend my life with
Settle down, do what grown folk do
In my eyes she was the one I would give my last name to
Was a fool thinking I could ever change her
Caking every day, to totally upgrade her
Louis V this, Erb mace that, Christian Ascota, Dolce Gabona
May say I'm crazy but I wish I had her with me
And I would take her back if she said please forgive me
But in her eyes I was just another guy...
I was wrong for falling in love,
I was wrong for falling in love,
(they always say don't love a hoe)
I was wrong for falling in love
(Don't do it yo)
I was wrong for falling in love
(They always say don't love a hoe, but I just went against the grain)
It was a feeling I can't explain, and it felt like harmony
Singing in my face like diddy daddy do da dey
I don't want it to ever go away
It went around me every day
