| [00:11.11] |
I've seen you change a lot you seen me grow up |
| [00:13.31] |
From when my flow sucked threw shows but no one showed up |
| [00:15.71] |
And so what you still had my back through the rain |
| [00:17.93] |
It's crazy when I think about the change insane and lately |
| [00:20.31] |
They show me love so when I spit I represent you |
| [00:23.18] |
The 2-0 through gowe 6'ing instrumentals |
| [00:25.62] |
Killing any beat in itself I'm speaking |
| [00:28.08] |
Myself so when the heat peeks I'm keeping it seeking for help |
| [00:30.64] |
You light my eyes up when the night falls |
| [00:33.25] |
So I slow down on I-5 to get a better picture |
| [00:35.96] |
You're so pretty |
| [00:36.91] |
I could leave but I would miss ya |
| [00:38.53] |
And to breathe in the sea is where the air is never crisper |
| [00:40.99] |
I've seen people leave but I'm a stand right here |
| [00:43.15] |
So if the spotlight shines |
| [00:44.54] |
You're gonna be right there |
| [00:45.77] |
But tell me if I had no rhythm or flow |
| [00:48.09] |
Would you still have a place in the city for gowe |
| [00:50.91] |
If I couldn't paint a picture with my words, |
| [00:52.75] |
Or bring you bright lights with a stage |
| [00:55.43] |
Would you still love me? |
| [00:57.84] |
Would you still love me? |
| [01:01.07] |
If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns |
| [01:03.28] |
And represent you with my sound |
| [01:05.42] |
Would you still love me? |
| [01:07.82] |
Would you still love me? |
| [01:11.67] |
I had a passion to write the pen was glued to my hand |
| [01:13.95] |
When I was writing these poems they were forming a band |
| [01:16.33] |
Alone did I stand my dreams still intact all the times |
| [01:18.70] |
I was smacked for even mentioning rap |
| [01:21.00] |
Now my folks love it and they just came to a show |
| [01:23.47] |
They don't catch all of the words but they applaud for gowe |
| [01:26.20] |
And as a son, that brings a big smile to my face |
| [01:28.63] |
So When I'm done |
| [01:29.58] |
I'll leave the bright lights of the stage and recline |
| [01:31.53] |
Reminisce on the times like my first battle At the Nippon kan theatre |
| [01:35.29] |
I lost that one Or my first out of state gig |
| [01:38.11] |
And the crowd was small |
| [01:39.12] |
Or the time we didn't have a stage at terry hall |
| [01:41.17] |
But we still rocked it |
| [01:42.50] |
and it's for the love of the art |
| [01:43.71] |
And a rest in peace goes out to the dearly depart |
| [01:46.29] |
So I bump biggie smalls one of the best emcees |
| [01:48.79] |
While I zone out at my spot as I reflect on me |
| [01:51.23] |
If I couldn't paint a picture with my words |
| [01:53.77] |
Or bring you bright lights with a stage |
| [01:55.74] |
Would you still love me? Would you still love me? |
| [02:01.44] |
If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns |
| [02:04.00] |
And represent you with my sound |
| [02:05.80] |
Would you still love me? |
| [02:08.51] |
Would you still love me? |
| [02:12.39] |
I used to sit at this bench and just write rhymes |
| [02:14.79] |
So I could see the city lights and memorize the skylines |
| [02:16.70] |
So when I closed my eyes |
| [02:17.97] |
I would see without seeing you |
| [02:19.39] |
It was beautiful the nights were so colorful |
| [02:22.16] |
And now that I've grown up I return to the spot |
| [02:24.21] |
And take a seat on this bench you got me thinking a lot |
| [02:26.67] |
About the past and the present and Whether not I was destined |
| [02:28.71] |
Or is it really a question will I compromise in my message? |
| [02:31.87] |
Never, you also told me that my rhymes were too hard |
| [02:34.50] |
That it was a bit complex and so I took it to heart |
| [02:36.84] |
Now my parts are more friendly extending my hand |
| [02:39.34] |
Not as abstract as then so we can both understand |
| [02:41.90] |
See you relate to my words cause I experience you |
| [02:44.36] |
Not to mention we been close since the days of my youth |
| [02:46.92] |
So regardless of where I flew or might travel around |
| [02:49.55] |
Where there's gowe there'll also be Seattle my town |
| [02:52.05] |
If I couldn't paint a picture with my words, |
| [02:54.67] |
Or bring you bright lights with a stage |
| [02:56.37] |
Would you still love me? |
| [02:58.86] |
Would you still love me? |
| [03:02.17] |
If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns |
| [03:04.51] |
And represent you with my sound |
| [03:06.38] |
Would you still love me? |
| [03:09.02] |
Would you still love me? |
| [03:12.30] |
If I couldn't paint a picture with my words, |
| [03:14.53] |
Or bring you bright lights with a stage |
| [03:16.52] |
Would you still love me? |
| [03:19.17] |
Would you still love me? |
| [03:22.42] |
If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns |
| [03:24.74] |
And represent you with my sound |
| [03:26.60] |
Would you still love me? |
| [03:29.34] |
Would you still love me? |
| [03:31.57] |
