This Is For You Original

Am       
 Checkin' it out 

C                  G 
 Yo people always come up to me 

            F 
 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

 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
