The Tides of Time

Dropping this beat. I also support hip-hop that speaks kindly of women.

“Luv(sic.) Pt. 2 (feat. SHING02)” by Nujabes

Once again, now where do I start, dear love
Dumb struck with the pure luck to find you here
Every morn’ I awake from a cavernous night,
Sometimes still pondering the previous plight,
Seems life done changed long time no speak,
Nowadays I often forget the day of the week
Taking it by stride if you know what I mean,
No harm done, no offense taken by me
So let’s rap, we’ll catch up to par, what’s the haps?
Perhaps we’re even closer now after all things considered on this side of the planet,
Couldn’t pick a better time even if we planned it!
To come clean and candid if I have to
Oh what I wouldn’t trade for your laughter
Sweet and sour spice in my poetry pot melting,
Even better than the real thing!
It’s like the God in me saw the Devil in you
I wanted to break myself in the worst way when I met you
Who would have thought, conversate by the river, celebrate birth,
Sit and delivered the lines that would prove to be the seeds of trust
Unsigned, yeah but destined to grow with sunshine
Self-assigned task piled on the desk of good works,
Knowing hardship appreciate the best of both worlds!


C’est la vie, as they say L.O.V.E evidently, see every song has a sequel
Never same, everything but the name, all fresh just like back then, how we do everyday
C’est la vie, as they say L.O.V.E eloquently, see dream has a part two
Never same, you got to keep it tight, all fresh just like back then, now hear me out…


Once together, now where do we go, dear divine
I pray that you keep watching over us,
From the heavens where light is the nucleus
To this space filled with darkness and negative matter
Anti-gravity pull is what I would rather feel when I leave this shell eventually
Ties to the mother earth ground me mentally,
Real vibes will keep me alive spiritually
Imagination brings bliss at no cost, when I blink blink I receive at no loss
Victory comes in small packages like a leaf of an olive tree brought back by a dove
From above, then I’m gonna rhyme love,
Well you saw that one coming ever since the beginning of the end
Well anyways, I am not a perfect being, yes I am a man full of sin
It’s like the Devil in me saw the God in you,
You epitomize the etymology of enthusiasm!
Look it, up there lies the clouds that form the rain
That came from the ocean that flowed from the river
I’m a believer, firm with the first words, lyrical transceiver of our ancient roots
(Science + Arts) * Faith / # of our Ethnic Race!
Let me mention what I’ve been thinking
How to save the children, when the ship is sinking
So I’m singing, no lip syncing to slogans,
Political hooligans with tanks, missiles and guns!
Everything is relative when it’s all in the family of man,
Understand the time has finally come to realize the great power of 1,
All formulas equalize under the Sun, Amen!


The rhymes will heal ‘cause I believe in music,
In times of need I won’t be leaving you sick
The beat plus the melody’s the recipe,
Your vibe surely brings out the best in me!
The rhymes will heal ‘cause I believe in music,
In times of need I won’t be leaving you sick
The beat plus the melody’s the recipe,
All good souls lost may they rest in peace!

Hip-hop worldwide we got to live in peace, like that!

“F.I.L.O. (feat. SHING02)” by Nujabes

It was late autumn of 2005 and I was in love. My girlfriend, at that time, gave me a hip hop mix. I didn’t really know why because she wasn’t a big fan of hip hop and I had lost my faith in hop hip years ago. Then I listened to Nujabes’ music. I found the album Metaphorical Music and my love for hip hop was born again.

p.s. that girlfriend turned out to be a real cunt and cheated on me.

“Lady Brown (feat. Cise Starr from Cyne)” by Nujabes

Crush a coal to a diamond
Eyes forever shining
Your beauty alone inspire a niggah to rhyming
Thinking of the better things in life
Thinking of how I could persuade you to become my wife
Hand in hand as we floating over tropical sands
You my lady, I’m ya man
So let’s futher advance to the next scene
Me sleeping next to you resting
You are the personification of all God’s blessings
Coming to me in just one physical being
One physical dream that I wanna redeem
You’re Voluptuous
Sweet caramel brown honeydew
Satin skin smooth to the touch, what a niggah do
So sensual
Her smile like a chemical extract of perfection
Rare mineral
She smell like a happy birthday on a Thursday
Quiet time love sleep in I wake early

Honey brown wit the long black hair
Teasing me with a kiss and a stare
Slight touch and you taking me there
So fine and it just ain’t fair
So beautiful and so damn rare

She’s angelic and energetic
Using sex as a weapon
I reckon that I’m confessing
Her body is just a blessing from God Down to earth
She needs to be in a church to prove that
We didn’t spawn from fish but God’s work
Hurts to see her clothed cause her body beholds
Secrets untold valued like platinum and gold
For she is the key to open my mind to see
The energy that radiates from the gates of heavenly bliss
I reminisce over touch and kiss
While you fucking a bitch I go make love to my miss
Never scandalous
It unanimous that the how i handled it
Lights off and candle lit rooms and glamorous
Yo I call you love sexual you look edible
Parallel snuggle up close intellectual
In a rendezvous who are you in wrap hairdo
No makeup in jean shorts open toe shoe
I wanna hold you mold ya soul I behold you
Know you better than myself never own you
But keep you never leave you
I beseech you
Gods gift to man is you wearing a see through
Riding Seadoos in Atlantic Ocean
Causing commotion
Lay you down going through the motions
Keep ya skin soft lotions got me coasting
Down pretty round brown thighs the candles low lit

Honey brown wit the long black hair
Teasing me with a kiss and a stare
Slight touch and you taking me there
So fine and it just ain’t fair
So beautiful and so damn rare

Look at this agreeable
Delightful, delectable
Unforgettable
So sweet she may be edible
She needs a pedestal To step out of heaven you ready boo
Never hypothetical you factual and magical
Fuck theatrical
Baby girl because you actual
Physically your chemistry is so mathematical
Had to use academics to define your spirit
You lifting my limits
Your name off my tongue is a lyric
She’s a compilation of my minds representation
Of a representative
Representing an excellent revelation of time and dedication
Never impatient
She know the deal
Revealed herself to me
So I can see Her heavenly ways
Her heavenly gaze
And plus it don’t hurt that she has an ass for days
So as we lay I reminisce on the day that we met
Please god never let me forget

This is probably the most romantic hip hop song I have ever heard.

Crush a coal to a diamond
Eyes forever shining

“Luv(sic) pt 2 (FEAT. SHING02)” by Nujabes

It was with the music of Nujabes that I learned that not all rap was offensive. I learned that sometimes they spoke not of oppression, pain, hate, but that sometimes rap could be about happiness and romance.

Once again, now where do I start, dear love
Dumb struck with the pure luck to find you here
Every morn’ I awake from a cavernous night
Sometimes still pondering the previous plight
Seems life done changed long time no speak
