Bliss N Eso - This Is For You (Remix) lyrics

rate me

Checkin' it out

Yo people always come up to me

And like "man I want some pushing and shit"

I wanna hear about you, where you from, where you been

So I say...

I sprouted in the spring of '80, sail the seas from

A thrid world home shipwrecked in Indonesia

Drifted to Virginia, got the cargo like an historian

Taking it back without Donnie Darko in the delorean

Learned beatboxing mimicing BGC

You remember the titans but I never did CTC

Just public elementary to the PTA college, straight noise

NWA tapes hidden under beds before Playboys

'92 went Down Under I'm like E.T.

Cause no one spoke this language except some dude at the BE

See we found a bond, it was just an excuse to cut us off

But you damn right, the only two dudes rapping at the bus stop

And even though we fronted we still grew to what was right

Using a busted boombox and half a headphone as a mic

We all got different roots so we all bust so differently

I'm proud now I'm a conducter of my own modern symphony

This is for you, you're the reason I wrote this

You're the reason I stand in the rain and get my clothes wet

Oh it's just another taste from the bottle

Oh it's Bliss N Eso's page from the novel

We do this music, I can see complete views

Of who I am, where I stand my feet feels sweet dude

But I never grew up on sugar and here man the stage is earth

So fuck taking my history as a fact to the guage my worth

We birth a child un-aided

Growing flowers in the pavement so to renew the fallen faded

Feel this essence I'm calling way through the faces of solemn shaded

But no one can find it, it's my precious like Golem stated

I'm lost with my Walkman switched to pill tracks

Bewildered so I predict the forecast

I see gulls and yellow browns fall upon the ashfault

I drive a street sleeper like a bee keeper protecting his last foes

That contains the essence I found

It's the heat that we bless in the sound

Kids with funny chuckles try'na suckle huckleberry

Your necks with players chains, trying games so it yields acceptance

And it's the same spark within the childs fusebox

That lights the way then my crew flocks

These sticks and stones will never trip these clones

So we just nit these poems to clothe and fit these homes

Of the needy, indelible graffiti sokes in

Then gets buffed the next day, no emotions have hold in

If you're thirsty there's a well just where you live

But come with an open mind, bring your cup but not a CIF

You see the meaning of life is like that book you read

Where the chapter is missing (chapter is missing)

While the future is ours to manifest as we wish

But you can't change the past cause the apples been bitten

You see in January I woke to a bed full of roses

And Febuary wouldn't exist without her closeness

Suppose it's just March's way on how to start the day

Let my soul spill and fill half the lake

Her harmony's the only thing that can make me behave

Hoping next month grows wings and takes me away

If you could at least see me dancing on my notepad

Oblivious of the things I don't have cause

Music is everywhere, music is life

To the rythm of the tap drip music is mine

Music is yours, and you can feel it on tours

From trains to bus rides, down south to up north

May the force be with you see this with three fistfulls

Of poetry with power, life I know it's in the flowers

It's magic when my minds in orbit

From here to the end of the year, through July and August

See as a youngin' hip hop made me want the worlds riches

It even had me out there calling girls bitches (bitch!)

But when I found my sign as a mountain goat

Alone in my zone I built a house of hope

To sustain the weather in September had some leverage for November

And the note I gave December when I met her

From invisible cloaks, crossbows and catapults

To questions and answers to the problems that we haven't solved

I sit and dwell and soak up nearly half the curve

With a bottle for tomorrow as I laugh and burp

That's me on top of the hill with a heart of dirt

On a high in the sky with the stars and birds

Oh it's just another taste from the bottle

And I hope this feeling stays till tomorrow
