then till now (phazed out) - bliss n eso lyrics

[verse 1: eso]
see it was hip hop that d-mn near changed my life
from meeting ozone in l.a. in ’85
from my attempts to try and step on stage and rhyme
to my beyond 2005 state of mind, from a copy of a culture
to teaching a tradition, from electric boogaloo
to the beat that keeps my rhythm, from
wanderin’ the tracks, to the mud that’s in my hand, from
wantin’ to be black, to lovin’ who i am
from not knowing where you’re from
to the image of sydney
from noone knowin’ hip hop to kids thinkin’ they’re 50
from the dramas on film
to the dramas in life, from posh clothes
to now knowin’ they’re worth half of the price
and from thinking to be king you gotta have wealth
to the inner revolution i call knowledge of self
so from back then till now i still rap for the pleasure
being rich or poor man, i’m still happy as ever

[hook: bliss]
(you gotta understand me)
you gotta understand me
(i gotta understand you)
i gotta understand you
so we can stand together, recognise and vision
it’s one love, one life, sets aside our differences
(you gotta understand me)
you gotta understand me
(i got to understand you)
cos that’s what gets me by, in my life

[verse 2: bliss]
from a punk in the bronx to the heart of the ‘burbs
from a dyslexic kid to a artist of words
from a wild child to my parents trying to steady me
from taking my pac and cube to giving me heavy d
from mimicking thugs thinking the lyrics were dope
to getting no satisfaction cause it was mirrors of smoke
from a home of hip hop to a land owned by rock
from rhyming to my mirror to thousands blowing the spot
but through all the cheers and the brew and the beers
was just a kid on the bus, headphones glued to his ears
who just grew through the years, to pursue with the tears
the blood, sweat and make something with his crew and his peers
see it was hip hop that put three lost souls on a map
from showing us the country, to putting clothes on our back
and from finding myself in my mic’s reflection
to this musical marriage that gave my life direction

[verse 3: eso]
from a major label deal to buskin’ on the street
know this soul’s not for sale when i’m f-cking with these beats
the landlord of these lyrics with a touch of what can be
and if it doesn’t break ground you could trust it wasn’t me
the deepest of minds can’t frame what i’ve imagined
three eyes on the train writing rhymes on a napkin
see these kids don’t have bentley’s, they sit and take the bus
but if you’re playing this tape your situation’s sussed

[verse 4: bliss]
from backstage b-tterfly’s to a p-ssionate debut
from not having a path to bush bashing a way through
from this rhyming release to stress i’ve got off my chest
from chasing a dream to holding it hot off the press
and from shoe store days to writing sessions at night
to a culture that ultimatly taught me lessons in life
so from back then till now i still rap for the pleasure
being rich or poor man, i’m still happy as ever

[bridge:]
and we won’t stop until we get that feeling
that’s why we get on up (yeh)
that’s why we get on up
ohhh we won’t stop until we get that feeling
that’s why we get on up
