RIP Eyedea. My favorite MC. Even though he fell hard into drug addiction, you can’t deny he had pure talent when it came to lyricism. Check out all the freestyle cyphers and battles he was in on youtube. It’s crazy.
Eyedea & Abilities - Now
We’re here to
Bring the people and the music and the movement all together now
We see through
Repetitive etiquette and the highly unoriginalThis is a necessary change from the grim simple and plain
Got to exercise that brain to break the chain, pain is a part of gain
No need to explain…
We innovate to generate an intricately interwoven tapestry
Of musical and ethical epiphanies
The interest is minimal
I’m on my own mission to mess with an angel
that can take it all the way to where the sun is
Just like a runner loving running
Tryna turn it into a simple simile
Simple sentiment adrenaline is coming back
I made it my own city, whys it gotta be a superstar
I’d rather be a galaxy
But how you see is so dependent on the medicine the rhetoric
And how at any second you think you could sit on the brink of this
World is all asleep and I have no apologies
I breathe
Keep my side on what we ride on
Let bygones be bygones
The migraines don’t sidetrack
My final destination nothing rivals predetermination
To exterminate the germination
Of a nation that accepts anything that’s thrown in their fat face
Because when there’s nothing left
There’s no more point to the rat race
We don’t waste a minute of the day
Don’t be offended with what I’m saying
Fittin to send it all way to another stage
A creative alternator rated and greater
The crazy manic melody take it all up in your face wait
Success ain’t only based on self esteem
It takes a sense to differentiate between
Whats yours and someone else’s dreams
I felt the screams climbing up my cold spine
Saying now’s the time gotta get rid of my energy
To get rid of the enemy, I said it so
We’re here to
Bring the people and the music and the movement all together now
We see through
Repetitive etiquette and the highly unoriginalCause music ain’t nothing if it ain’t got style
