Gowe - By The Sea

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
Its 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
Im speaking
myself so when the heat peeks
im 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 imma 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 im 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 its 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 theres 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
