THE REAL FOLK BLUES
本当の悲しみが知りたいだけ
泥の河に浸かった人生も悪くはない
一度きりで 終わるなら
希望に満ちた絶望と
罠が仕掛けられてるこのチャンス
何がよくて悪いのか
コインの表と裏みたいだ
どれだけ生きれば いやされるのだろう
THE REAL FOLK BLUES
(Saxaphone intensifies)
Rap 1 (Substantial): It’s a hard, cold world but even colder without ya’
Looking for kind eyes in every single encounter
Cuttin thru hard stares, guard my hope from the doubters
Memories start to fade. Sweet dreams begin to sour
Wind smothers my windows, flame hard to rekindle
World crumble around me begging God for a signal
Life is never that simple. Lies dismantle temples.
The pain that left me crippled refined me like a chisel
You find me in the middle of war and peace
Just trying to ease my mental exploring beats
Real rhymes for real times, “Sweetest Gift” like Sade
And my name mean it’s a classic like Watanabe
Never that hard to find me... a rider for the people
"Do-or-dier", Suitland sire born to rise above the evil
Walk thru fire if I need to, to get to higher ground
I am down for the fight of life ‘til the final round
Rap 2 (Mega Ran):
This is for my real folks, who never wanted to deal dope
Seen the world at its darkest and bleakest and
Still hope
Know that kindness ain’t a weakness but
A sign of our uniqueness,
As hard as you work to get it, that’s how hard you work to keep it
Not a secret, I just rap to offset my set backs
Tryna get the bounty like I’m Jet black
So, Respect that qualifier like I’m Mike Eagle
Repping for my people, leave the mic smoking like I’m Spike Spiegel
They say business and pleasure don’t mix
But when I’m with my real folks there ain’t no need to code switch
When I’m feeling hopeless, my folks keep me focused
Faye with the Austria 45, I don’t miss
My heart it gets torn in two,
When I see what this world has now morphed into,
But no matter what it is we gone get through
Kicking off the blues, and taking off like the Swordfish II
Rap 3 (Red Rapper): I'm not a saint or sinner, my days are my winters,
my dreams are my picture, my breakfast is dinner,
my gun is my mirror, my friends are my villians,
I come from the village, where love is your killer
where love get you killed if, you know when you feel it,
your losses are Vicious,
turn all my shooting stars to an asteroid,
you use your eyes too much I flow with no focal point,
you overthink almost every choice, and you die quick,
you never risk what you got then you never find shit,
never do what I'm told, bravery isn't bold,
people die who were right about everything that they know,
but their finger was slow, you do what your sold,
I go where I go, whatever happens, happens, i see one eye through the past and
i Keep one back in the present, I used to bask at the ending,
and now I'm asking the questions, grasping my weapon, on top of my exit
I kill me the dragon, I'm back on the steps at the gate,
they waiting for me, lemme carry the weight,
BANG
See you, space cowboy!
