Hip Hop Poetry...much love for Bliss n Eso


This is the new video for Bliss n Eso an Aussie Hip Hop band...the video itself is an amazing achievement created using an insane amount of photos and amazing camera/editing work.  The song is one that captured my heart and hopefully it will leave you feeling inspired, uplifted and revolutionary.  It you ain't got that feeling for life do something about it.  I've got the lyrics for you here too...get on it, get addicted!


I was born in the 80's with that summertime love 
Then changed the whole game like what have I'd done 
Out the gutter I come 
To touch the bright sun 
And from the highest heights motherf*cker I jump 

Free in the sky of belief I can fly, 
Ain't no tellin what they're sellin man they're sheep in disguise 
Keep this in mind, I keep on my grind 
I can do it any where when i do it and 
Bitch I'll sleep when I die 
Explosive, ferocious, get up get down that's showbiz 
Power to the people that have freedom in their focus 
I hope this helps you when your under the thumb 
When you feel like nothing can save you 
When you feel like jumpin the gun 

Stop relax and remember even in the worst weather 
You'll find a way across it, there'll be brighter days honest 
So get up, get out and get somethin that's on the real 
Forget what you were taught and show these people how you feel 
Like 
Who are you to tell me how to live my life 
Cause I won't give this up 
These are my shoes 
My view 
My cue 
To say I do give a f*ck 

And pretty soon I'ma bloomin it'll be alright 
Everyday's another chance to ignite 
Cause I'm addicted (Uh-Oh), I'm addicted (Uh-Oh) I'm addicted to this universal feelin called life 

Since a foetus, explored life's subtle secrets 
From my fingertips to my unique double helix 
I can see history, I can see the past lessons 
It's your right never be afraid to ask questions 
How can every religion, claim to be the only one 
How can they preach love — yet fight each other holding guns 
I think the golden sun might be able to shed some light 
I'd rather push peace and knowledge to defend our rights 

These leaders in suits tell us to fight for one side 
You think they got their sons and daughters on the frontline? 
Not down for war but down to get an education 
we're all evil yet they push synthetic separation 
but in this matrix I won't be failin to make it 

this is my cosmos baby space sailin with Satan 
I heard it's not where your from it's where your carvin' your view 
I heard you don't have to wear a suit to argue the truth 
And so 

Who are you to tell me how to live my life 
Cause I won't give this up 
These are my shoes 
My view 
My cue 
To say I do give a f*ck 

And pretty soon I'ma bloomin it'll be alright 
Everyday's another chance to ignite 
Cause I'm addicted (Uh-Oh), I'm addicted (Uh-Oh) I'm addicted to this universal feelin called life 

They spoon feed but I won't be taken that sedative 
Cause my thoughts are way to precious to waste on the negative 
I keep them critical yet positive to break the chains 
Every dawn is a chance to make a change 
Thinkin bout all the energy swirlin all around us 
We project it, we get affected it's just profound stuff 
Earth is my garden man I grew from it 
I pay the youth homage cause I know their views honest 

Can you read between the lines of the news comments 
Fightin' over land just to take some fuel from it 
I guess oil boils down to some cool profits 
But war, what is it good for really who wants it? 
Like 

Who are you to tell me how to live my life 
Cause I won't give this up 
These are my shoes 
My view 
My cue 
To say I do give a f*ck 

And pretty soon I'ma bloomin it'll be alright 
Everyday's another chance to ignite 
Cause I'm addicted (Uh-Oh), I'm addicted (Uh-Oh) I'm addicted to this universal feelin called life
