What Are The Lyrics For Then till Now By Hardwax?
See it was Hip Hop that dam near changed my life
From meeting ozone in L.A in 85' From my attempts to try and step on stage and rhyme To my beyond 2005' state of mind From a copy of a culture, ta teaching a tradition From electric buguloo, to the beat that keeps my rhythm From, wonderin' the tracks, ta the mic that's in my hand From, wantin' to be black, to lovin who I am From not known where your from, to the image of Sydney From no one knowin' hip-hop, to kids thinkin' their 50 From the dramas on film, to the dramas of life From posh clothes, to not knowin' they were half of the price And from thinking to be king, you gotta have wealth Ta the inner revolution i call knowledge itself So from back "then till now" I still rap for the pleasure Bein' rich or poor man, I'm still happy as ever You gotta understand me (You gotta understand me) I gotta understand you (I gotta understand you so we can stand together recognize the vision, its one love, one life, sets aside our differences You gotta understand me (You gotta understand me) I got to understand you, cause that's what gets me by, in my life From a part of the Bronx, to the heart of the burbs From a dyslexic, to a artist of words From a wild child, to my parents trynna steady me From taken my parking cue, to givin' me heave "D" From mimicking thugs, thinking the lyrics with dope To getting no satisfaction cause it was mirrors of smoke From a home of hip-hop, to a land owned by rock From rhyming to my mirror, to thousands blowin' the spot But through all of the cheers, and the boo and the beers Was just a kid on the bus, headphones glued to his hears Who just grew through the years, to sewer the tears The blood and sweat makes somethin' with his crew and his peers See it was hip-hop that put three lost souls on a map From showin us the country, to puttin clothes on our back And from finding myself, in my mic's reflection To this musical marriage that gave my life direction You gotta understand me (You gotta understand me) I gotta understand you (I gotta understand you so we can stand together recognize the vision Its one love, one life, sets aside our differences You gotta understand me (You gotta understand me) I got to understand you, Cause that's what gets me by, in my life From a major label deal, to bustin' on the street Knowing souls were for sale, when I'm fuckin' with these beats The landlord of these lyrics, with a touch of what can be And if it doesn't ground, You could trust it wasn't me The deepest of minds, can't frame what I've imagined Three eyes on the train, writin' rhymes on a napkin See these kids don't have bentley's, they sit and take the bus But if ya playin' this tape, ya situation's sussed From backstage butterfly's to a passion of a debut From not haven a path, to push past and a way through From this rhyming release, to stress I've got off my chest From chasing a dream, to holding the hart of the press From shoe store days, to writing sessions at night To a culture that ultimately taught me lessons in life So from back "then till now" I still rap for the pleasure Bein' rich or poor man I'm still happy as ever And we won't stop until we get that feeling That's why we get on up that's why we got on up Oh we won't stop until we get that feeling That's why we get on up (Hang on, hang on, hang on) You gotta understand me (You gotta understand me) I gotta understand you (I gotta understand you So we can stand together recognize the vision Its one love, one life, sets aside our differences You gotta understand me (You gotta understand me) I got to understand you Cause that's what gets me by, in my life |
