Krazor and Krazy

Is James Brown saying that he doesn't know Karate but he knows Krazy or Karazor? I am very confused.

The evidence points to karazor, despite most of the lyric sites on the internet (which all have the same source anyway), say "karazy")


Why?

The word he is rhyming with is "favor", or in james brown's pronunciation, "FAV-uh". "Razor" is a much closer rhyme to "favor" than "crazy" is. If you listen to his pronunciation of the word it sounds like "ka-RAY-ZUH"...

FAV-uh, ka-RAY-ZUH.

"Crazy" fits as far as meaning, but not pronunciation or rhyme... I can't imagine James Brown would ever pronounce the word "crazy" with an "UH" sound at the end...
