By the Sea - Gowe I've seen you change a lot you seen me grow up From when my flow sucked threw shows but no one showed up And so what you still had my back through the rain It's crazy when I think about the change insane and lately They show me love so when I spit I represent you The 2-0 through gowe 6'ing instrumentals Killing any beat in itself I'm speaking Myself so when the heat peeks I'm keeping it seeking for help You light my eyes up when the night falls So I slow down on I-5 to get a better picture You're so pretty I could leave but I would miss ya And to breathe in the sea is where the air is never crisper I've seen people leave but I'm a stand right here So if the spotlight shines You're gonna be right there But tell me if I had no rhythm or flow Would you still have a place in the city for gowe If I couldn't paint a picture with my words Or bring you bright lights with a stage Would you still love me Would you still love me If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns And represent you with my sound Would you still love me Would you still love me I had a passion to write the pen was glued to my hand When I was writing these poems they were forming a band Alone did I stand my dreams still intact all the times I was smacked for even mentioning rap Now my folks love it and they just came to a show They don't catch all of the words but they applaud for gowe And as a son that brings a big smile to my face So when I'm done I'll leave the bright lights of the stage and recline Reminisce on the times like my first battle At the Nippon kan theatre I lost that one Or my first out of state gig And the crowd was small Or the time we didn't have a stage at terry hall But we still rocked it and it's for the love of the art And a rest in peace goes out to the dearly depart So I bump biggie smalls one of the best emcees While I zone out at my spot as I reflect on me If I couldn't paint a picture with my words Or bring you bright lights with a stage Would you still love me Would you still love me If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns And represent you with my sound Would you still love me Would you still love me I used to sit at this bench and just write rhymes So I could see the city lights and memorize the skylines So when I closed my eyes I would see without seeing you It was beautiful the nights were so colorful And now that I've grown up I return to the spot And take a seat on this bench you got me thinking a lot About the past and the present and Whether not I was destined Or is it really a question will I compromise in my message Never you also told me that my rhymes were too hard That it was a bit complex and so I took it to heart Now my parts are more friendly extending my hand Not as abstract as then so we can both understand See you relate to my words cause I experience you Not to mention we been close since the days of my youth So regardless of where I flew or might travel around Where there's gowe there'll also be Seattle my town If I couldn't paint a picture with my words Or bring you bright lights with a stage Would you still love me Would you still love me If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns And represent you with my sound Would you still love me Would you still love me If I couldn't paint a picture with my words Or bring you bright lights with a stage Would you still love me Would you still love me If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns And represent you with my sound Would you still love me Would you still love me
