Then Till Now
Bliss N Eso

Yeh, hell yeah


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 thats in my hand

From, wantin' to be black, to loven who I am

From not known where your from, to the image of Sydney

From none 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 blowen 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 showen us the country, to putten 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, it's 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, cant 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 wont stop until we get that feeling

That's why we get on up

(Yer)

That's why we got on upp

Oh we wont stop until we get that feeling

That's why we get on uuuup

(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, it's 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
