about
Produced by Ta-Ku, a beautiful piano melody that's pretty blissful. So yeah, I wrote a song.
lyrics
Why do rappers say this time I'll keep it real with you
That implies, most your rhymes aren't really you
I get surprised when reviews call me honest,
Of course I am, no need to state the obvious,
My promise is to aim for the comets, I'm an astronomer,
Plus my fam and friends are there, I wanna honour em
At least acknowledge em, life's getting under my skin
Beneath the collagen, I don't see my college friends,
Anymore,
We drift away, like tides will from every shore,
My time seems very short, like plot lines in 24
Save the world, or see it with an amazing girl
When every days a crazy whirl of writing and letting my phrase unfurl
Hope it stays like this,
Mum had never said there'd be days like this
Bliss, though I was always too cool for the weird kids,
And too weird for the cool kids, my musics for both of those,
For every child from a broken home,
Brothers and sisters, and mothers raising em both alone
What did that MJ song say, yep, you are not alone
Chorus
Mum had always said there'd be like days this
Bliss
I pray it never fades and it stays like this
Bliss
(x2)
Would you live fast if you died slow?
Where we get high just to lie low,
Tripping over on an untied tightrope,
Going under and you're hoping for a lifeboat,
Well you might fall or you may climb,
You might sink, or you may fly, like a mayfly
Better live for the day, 24 hours and their slipping away
What would you do? Pain needles in like voodoo,
Aint no new news, just re-repeats, like a CD re-release,
Or an HD DVD deleted scene, remade for a TV screen
What I mean, is we need something original,
Something original
In this pivotal moment for every listener,
You can break free like Queen, or just remain a prisoner
Most of us are too afraid to break outside the norm
You probably played a role since the day that you were born
Go to school, go to work, told your dreams are so berserk
So forget them, I say go get them, thats why you dreamt them
I'm slept on, and overlooked
But chase the fantasies, reality has overtook
Mum had always said there'd be like days this
Bliss
I pray it never fades and it stays like this
Bliss
