By The Sea

I've seen you change a lot you seen me grow up

From when my flow sucked threw shows but no one showed up

And so what you still had my back through the rain

It's crazy when I think about the change insane and lately

They show me love so when I spit I represent you

The 2-0 through gowe 6'ing instrumentals

Killing any beat in itself I'm speaking

Myself so when the heat peeks I'm keeping it seeking for help

You light my eyes up when the night falls

So I slow down on I-5 to get a better picture

You're so pretty

I could leave but I would miss ya

And to breathe in the sea is where the air is never crisper

I've seen people leave but I'm a stand right here

So if the spotlight shines

You're gonna be right there

But tell me if I had no rhythm or flow

Would you still have a place in the city for gowe

If I couldn't paint a picture with my words,

Or bring you bright lights with a stage

Would you still love me?

Would you still love me?

If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns

And represent you with my sound

Would you still love me?

Would you still love me?

I had a passion to write the pen was glued to my hand

When I was writing these poems they were forming a band

Alone did I stand my dreams still intact all the times

I was smacked for even mentioning rap

Now my folks love it and they just came to a show

They don't catch all of the words but they applaud for gowe

And as a son, that brings a big smile to my face

So When I'm done

I'll leave the bright lights of the stage and recline

Reminisce on the times like my first battle At the Nippon kan theatre

I lost that one Or my first out of state gig

And the crowd was small

Or the time we didn't have a stage at terry hall

But we still rocked it

and it's for the love of the art

And a rest in peace goes out to the dearly depart

So I bump biggie smalls one of the best emcees

While I zone out at my spot as I reflect on me

If I couldn't paint a picture with my words

Or bring you bright lights with a stage

Would you still love me? Would you still love me?

If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns

And represent you with my sound

Would you still love me?

Would you still love me?

I used to sit at this bench and just write rhymes

So I could see the city lights and memorize the skylines

So when I closed my eyes

I would see without seeing you

It was beautiful the nights were so colorful

And now that I've grown up I return to the spot

And take a seat on this bench you got me thinking a lot

About the past and the present and Whether not I was destined

Or is it really a question will I compromise in my message?

Never, you also told me that my rhymes were too hard

That it was a bit complex and so I took it to heart

Now my parts are more friendly extending my hand

Not as abstract as then so we can both understand

See you relate to my words cause I experience you

Not to mention we been close since the days of my youth

So regardless of where I flew or might travel around

Where there's gowe there'll also be Seattle my town

If I couldn't paint a picture with my words,

Or bring you bright lights with a stage

Would you still love me?

Would you still love me?

If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns

And represent you with my sound

Would you still love me?

Would you still love me?

If I couldn't paint a picture with my words,

Or bring you bright lights with a stage

Would you still love me?

Would you still love me?

If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns

And represent you with my sound

Would you still love me?

Would you still love me?
