This Is For You Original

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 Hook x2: Bliss 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 verse 2: Bliss 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 Hook x2 Bliss verse 3: Eso 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 fistfuls 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 Hook x3: Eso and Bliss Oh it's just another taste from the bottle And I hope this feeling stays till tomorrow
