Bliss N Eso - Life's Midnight Lyrics
[Verse 1: Eso]Imagine a 5 year old, without a doubt in his mindWhere Star Wars was still real; and no mountain's to highThat mountain was blue, my first birthdays residenceAnd since then, I've made earthquake evidenceSee, positive thinking's an actual factWay before gangster rap had you packing a gatI'd watch Breakdance and idol OzoneWay before you had that bling blingWay before I puffed the home grownRented it so many times, back in Kurrajong heightsI wore out the VHS, imagine long nightsDay after day, I'd let it play, reciting the linesTry and fathom what I imagined, inside of my mindGrabbed a dollar off my dad Shabadoo I had it for yaTo save the centre, If I ever made it to CaliforniaAnd then the moment came, my mother said we're goingJumped on a jumbo and we sailed across the ocean, like[Hook]Oh lord, I want to live to life's midnightAnd keep running through dark to that dim lightAnd to the world, I say when I'm humming the bluesIf you're coming at me, Then I'm coming at you. x2[Verse 2: Eso]My arrival was an eyeful, of everything I thoughtMy Disneyland dream was everywhere I walkedWith that dollar in my pocket, I was on a missionDeep inside, I knew I'd meet him, I had gone the distanceAnd on that last day, down Melrose Avenue2 worlds collided when my eyes saw ShabadooThere was a crash, so you can capture it accurateBut the accident was no accident, it was actually happeningMy mum hit the brakes, I jumped out the carRan to an angel, blood pumped through my heartHe showed me his Jag, he took me to his restaurantPhotos signed, B-Boy stance, this is the best ofMy memories that I cherish foreverThe last time I really remember my parents togetherLifting the movement, they never pictured I'd do itBut I'm a living example and I got the pictures to prove it, so[Hook]Oh lord, I want to live to life's midnightAnd keep running through dark to that dim lightAnd to the world, I say when I'm humming the bluesIf you're coming at me, Then I'm coming at you. x2[Verse 3: Bliss]From the back of the yellow bus when PGC brought me new musicSinging and Mimicking what I heard, beat boxing in a blue buikFrom Virginia, continue to when Max and I metWith our heads between 2 boom boxes, making tracks on cassettes.Yeah we were sifting through them singles, searching for some instrumentalsThirsting how to make 'em, when we learnt that we would be instrumentalLate 90's. back in NZ for a visitShit, my cuz gave me Che Fu to be specificBrainfighta in my head, man it gave me lightLike Rachid giving Izm that X-Men tape that changed his lifeAnd I remember Macka's mother's Joan, calling me on the phoneTelling me to turn on basic equipment and we learnt we weren't aloneAnd saw that SP and that MP up in Benz or a BeamerBack when if you were white, you were speaking through the pen of a dreamerOutkasts, from the farthest depths finding fateLay your own track, art express 98', check it[Hook]Oh lord, I want to live to life's midnightAnd keep running through dark to that dim lightAnd to the world, I say when I'm humming the bluesIf you're coming at me, Then I'm coming at you. x2
