Luv(sic ) Part 1 -6(Original Version) – Nujabes

Luv(sic ) Part 1-6 (Original Version) – Nujabes

I told you that story to tell you this one

Check this out this goes out to my G

Lovesick like a dog with canine sensitivity

Developing this new theory of relativity

Connecting our souls resting in captivity

Positive life sacrifice what it is to me

Our history only a quarter of a century

Reality sitting on the shoulders of our chemistry

See ain’t no mystery

The colors that we mix will set the mind free

Let the blind see beyond harmony

Breathe life into dead space

Blow away your clouds of doubt

New territory we determine to be

Everything a safe haven it’s supposed to be

Now it might seem distant but the time is near

When our thoughts take off and split the atmosphere

Pure sound wave travel semi-infinitely

Plus I’ll see you there utmost definitely

‘Cause the beat plus the melody

Makes me speak of L O V E eloquently so evidently

I mean that from my heart

‘Cause you make me feel good as a person

‘Cause the beat plus the melody

Makes me speak of L O V E eloquently so evidently

I am the faster we with up for not

Good gracious every process has

A genesis and ends with a revelation

God bless this opportunity for me to find a voice

For some words that have waited for way too long

Low wages small tips on the avenue

Never wasted all hits for a revenue

Haven’t you heard the news lately

Seems we’ve been living for some time in a purgatory

But yo I thought I knew what a love song sound like

But I felt a warmer tune in the sunlight

I could still hear it in my room past midnight

Gotta move take a solo cruise in the moon light

Sometimes I do forget

Oh how much we could ease the lives we lead

If we learn to let go the reins that we hold

Return to our souls and the spirit let flow

So you see upon everyday

Faced there’s a million shades to

Express definition of grace

But the method I choose my prerogative

There’s so much love in me I got to give

‘Cause the beat plus the melody

Makes me speak of L O V E eloquently so evidently

I mean that from my heart

‘Cause you make me feel good as a person

‘Cause the beat plus the melody

Makes me speak of L O V E eloquently so evidently

I hope that you listen

Oh how I could write a

Book on how you make me feel

But how about this song that

I wrote for you

What I feel like I wanna put

My trusts in these simple words

For you to feel what I’m saying

What you feel like

Reminisce about the little

Episodes that we shared together

Remember the time that you told me

In the cold night to relax

When all I knew was to hold tight

Remember the time that

I spoke to the crowd in a full house and

Realizes that you was my ace

I was the joker on the stage singing the blues

All eyes on me and had nothing to prove

But yo I thought I knew what a diamond shine like

But I felt a sharper love in the limelight

From the queen of hearts watching

Me quietly from the upper deck balcony

Sometimes I do suspect

I’m an actor in a well-scripted live divine comedy

When I look back

That frozen slice of time and

Try to defrost the senses lost

Now enough with the metaphors

The motivation that I wrote this letter for

For you to know that the music helps carry on

Like you say a new day will bring us tomorrow

Yeah

‘Cause my beat plus your melody

Makes me speak of L O V E eloquently so evidently

Yeah

‘Cause your beat plus my melody

Makes me speak of L O V E eloquently so evidently

‘Cause my beat plus your melody

Makes me speak of L O V E eloquently so evidently

I mean that from my heart

‘Cause you make me feel good as a person

‘Cause your beat plus my melody

Makes me speak of L O V E eloquently so evidently

I mean that from my heart

‘Cause you make me feel good as a person

You know what I mean

Makes me say

Well that s**t wasn’t that bad

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 every dream has a part two

Never same you got to keep it tight

Always 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 S-I-N

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 plus Arts multiplied by

Faith then divided by the number 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 one

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

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

Hip-hop world wide we got to live in peace like that

It’s funny how the music put times in perspective

Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it

Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far

It’s funny how the music put times in perspective

Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it

Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far

Wherever you are

Like a movie that you can’t predict

Like a book that you can’t resist

I sing along a song that’s oh so sensual

Bring along a sip to make it all so sexual

Verbally that is making love to the music means vibing to the beat at night

With the whole city fast asleep out cold

True words seem to rise to the lips take hold

Of a poet in me most powerfully

I feel free when the world doesn’t owe it to me

It’s so hard to find a gig that lives up to the billing

Trying to find a reason to work god willing

I admit my thinking is wishful

Like a star upon a child gazing up to the ceiling

How far do we have to stretch the truth

To fit the lifestyles borrowed and overdue

We can take it all back to the register

And start all over from the canister

Just break it all down into pieces of bright

Moments that pass by like a meteorite

Throw on your favorite reel that’s good to go

On the analog player watch the people glow

Sit back to the breeze let the memories flow

Comedy tragedy all the highs and lows

It’s funny how the music put times in perspective

Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it

Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far

Wherever you are

Like your moves that I can’t predict

Like your look that I can’t resist

The ting-a-ling feeling was oh so mutual

The lingering appeal was so unusual

Herbally what is medicine to a lone soul can become poison to some

With the whole body fast asleep out cold

True vision seem to come to the eye take hold

Of a prophet in me most visibly

I see clear when the world doesn’t show it to me

It’s so hard to make sense in a cycle of billing

Trying to find a reason to quit and make a killing

I admit

Like a star upon a child staring down from the ceiling

How far do we have to stretch the picture

Before pixelating the human texture

We can take it all back to the register

And start all over from the canister

Let’s save it all up for an ultimate prize

Homecoming gathering with a big surprise

Throw on your favorite record that’s good to go

On the analog table and it’s hooked to blow

Sit back with ease and hear the emcee flow

Hi hat kick drum all the highs and lows

It’s funny how the music put times in perspective

Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it

Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far

Um third time’s the charm hopefully

When I chime on your door you’d still let me in

After all these years

The room that you caved in my heart is

Exactly the same as you left it

I realize that you have moved on

New styles and cliques like them silent flicks

I’m speechless in this golden occasion

The beautiful expression on the silver creation

This time I’d like to keep in touch

I’m a likkle bit wiser a whole lot tougher

If I suffer through another nightmare tonight

We’ll chalk it up as another chapter to write all right

Or wrong or somewhere down the middle of the road

I wanna see you again in a scene with the backdrop a perfect ten

And the music can take us back to the spot right then

From black and white to a sepia tone

Some dreams come with a tint or in monochrome

From black and white to my skin tone

Some dreams have a stint on the microphone

It’s funny how the music put times in perspective

Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it

Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far

Wherever you are

Okay we can take it all back to the register

And start all over from the canister

Just break it all down into pieces of bright

Moments that pass by like a meteorite

Throw on your favorite jacket and you’re good to roll

On the analog trail and you look the role

Just stroll through the trees and let your miseries go

Sunshine hurricane all the highs and lows

All the highs and lows

Highs and lows

We can take it all back to the register

And start all over from the canister

Just break it all down into pieces of bright

Moments that pass by like a meteorite

Snow flakes in January

Heart warm like February

I wouldn’t ordinarily

March to the drum play a fool like April

May the best dance in a Juno bridal

Power of the will Julius and Augustus

Aw you know it’s just us

In a new semester back in September

Boy I wonder if you still remember

Meet me half way from Mars to Venus

Beep beep the chase is on between us

Retweet the sweetest piece of confection

Handmade device for remote connection

Ask a question

Wait for an answer and make a suggestion

A time and a place for a first impression

Second and third to a fourth dimension

Rise above the weights that hold us captive

To a square swear that I I the captain to

Cruise in sci-fi red sky burn like sapphire

A moth to a fire but we can fly higher

Till we reach an apex

We fit tight like a glove with the latex

Bring it down to earth for a cooling session

Laying sideways and glazed in essence

Gazed each other in the eye to find galaxies of uncharted nebulas

Heard joy over spilled milk on a quilt of lavender

Woven in the fabric of our calendar

Dress up at the end of October

Give thanks to the fam in November

A cold but cozy December

And we’re back to the origin so let me begin

Snow flakes in January

Heart warm like February

I wouldn’t ordinarily

March to the drum play a fool like April

May the best dance in a Juno bridal

Power of the will Julius and Augustus

Aw you know it’s just us

In a new semester back in September

Boy I wonder if you still remember

When you took my hand I couldn’t hide it

Way too delighted

Tried to ride it cool but obliged to write it

Wouldn’t fight it how my watch paused

When I put my lips on your eyelids

The lost second deposit in a memory bank

Every chance I pocketed a cent

A blank check with ya signature

Font sans serif the curvature a lone harbinger

With toys play coy like fish in a pond

Fond words serve poems like dish

Life is short like a doggone leash

Or a fuse in an open circuitry

That got struck by lightning

Hang a painting on the wall over the writing

Brighten up the room for a private dining

Increase the peace and cease the anxiety

Spread love and cc: the whole society

You got me shooting off on a tangent

Like I always do when I’m on the fringe

And the tally of the letters will reach

The valley where the wings will seek

A series so classic at the top of October

Give thanks to the fam in November

A cold but cozy December

And we’re back to the origin so let me begin

Snow flakes in January

Heart warm like February

I wouldn’t ordinarily

March to the drum play a fool like April

May the best dance in a Juno bridal

Power of the will Julius and Augustus

Aw you know it’s just us

In a new semester back in September

Boy I wonder if you still remember

Every thing is quiet

Till death do us apart and it did

Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun

My truth heavier than imagined a lid die-cast in lead

On our lives we nourished

And the days we cherished as kids

We let them whizz on by but when I rewind

Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind

Your smile is the only thing that shines

In your last breath you told me that you had to go

Cause it pained you so

Oh I loved you so much so

Was I selfish to hold on

And cling on to your body that hosts a soul

That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage

And you became eagerly what I wanted to be

You the person to leave I the person

To see off another best friend to land’s end

I watched grown men moan and women weep

As you quietly descended six feet deep

But the spirit ascended before our wet eyes

A gift from god returned to sender

Though I like to pretend that this never happened

I can turn around and see you laughing

But the fact is you could never practice

Getting blind-sided and eating the wind shield

Endless field of shards of glass

This too shall pass but reality bites it says not so fast

First you must climb a calvary of shattered hopes

And then a mountain of prayers unheard

‘Till you reach that peak where you can see the dark abyss below

Then you let me know

If you have what it takes for a leap of faith

I had to say hell no heaven yes but not yet

Please bless a forehead cold in a bed

Or alone on the road with nobody to hold

When the pouring rain is too much to bear

It’s a reason to live for a seed that needs care

Till death do us apart and it did

Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun

You truth heavier than imagined a lid die-cast in lead

On our lives we nourished

And the days we cherished as kids

We let it whizz on by but when I rewind

Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind

Your smile is the only thing that shines

Listen

Now I hit this stage in honor of you

How’s the other side I bet it’s a splendid view

No more stress for rent or to make ends

Collide in a cocktail shame with envy

I can hide behind lens that block the UV

Looking in from the outside the bowl is murky

The toll for the bridge is rising

Weatherman says storm city hall is burning

Same ol’ chaos gotta shut my cell like I’m waiting to take off

On the runway scoping out the window

The moisture covers the sight though

Telling myself it’s just another day in the life of a starving artist

Trying to paint a dream you woke from

Chasing the departed

We used to hang by the banks to see

Who can skip a stone the farthest

What I thought was a stream is now an ocean

No such thing as an extreme to show devotion

To your craft which I didn’t know the half

Tried to knock down your door and caught the backdraft

And a whiplash all in reverse

Then I finally stood up and said we reserve the right to serve anyone

And on the same note you deserve the best of the most fun

By the way I got your letter you said you were fed up

Well I second that and I reckon that you tried

So I don’t place a blame that you took the fifth

And the first flight out of town into the mist

Till death do us apart and it did

Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun

Your truth heavier than imagined a lid die-cast in lead

On our lives we nourished

And the days we cherished as kids

We let ’em whizz on by but when I rewind

Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind

Your smile is the only thing that shines

Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries

Or a random hand picks it instantly

Life is art a miracle for all to see

I must tell you that you lived beautifully

I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world

Now you got me day dreaming sleeping in a curl

Her name on my tongue a fresh flavor yup

Whenever she popped up put a swirl on my cone

I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth

But the stones turned precious when they all came out

On a string of deep thought that could never be bought

Body rock don’t stop be bop to hip hop

Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor

What was left a shoestring budget on call

Then these new styles came along

Some on to the next on some other hit their own trip

Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds dated

Make you feel old and jaded

The point was to make it and we made it but

We didn’t know how to keep it

Like nice kicks that wouldn’t fit

Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up

Store it underneath the bed and open it up

Once in a blue moon

Think about a cool ending

To a story that ended too soon

Gotta bring back the feeling

I’ll do anything not to be stuck on fiending

A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient

To an open heart it’s a daily operation

After six come seven and eight

Access code to the pearly gates

They say heaven can wait

And you speak of fate

A finale to a play for my mate

I see the angels draw the drapes

Over the earth scape

Where the wine is the spirit of grapes

Gotta finish what we started so I cut the tape

As our records will stay on rotate

You say a circle is a flawless shape

Every part equi distance from the center

On the arc without a start or a finish

A line on a loop carries weight

A freight train runs unabated

Views vanish from my point vantage

Passages come in and out

How I remember your antics

Still alive cause I said it

A life of its own unless we dead it

Till they see our name in credits

A labor of love you mean slavery

Surely it’s been quite savory

Crepe on the balcony verbal alchemy

Pure magic when she touches me

I read that love is kind but it’s also blind of any style

You profess would you be my guest

Happiness is a hot potato that you can’t possess for long

Just pass it on like a song

And I might look calm and collected at a glance

But I taste the void when I’m not connected

To the world kinetic as opposed to static

Idle hands a workshop of a modern day addict

On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed

The mind in need of stimulation

Elevator music to the space station

Penthouse of stars a blazing

After six come seven and eight

Access code to the pearly gates

They say heaven can wait

And you speak of fate

A finale to a play for my mate

I see the angels draw the drapes

Over the earth scape

Where the wine is the spirit of grapes

Gotta finish what we started so I cut this tape

As our records will stay on rotate
