[id:$00000000] [ar:Gowe] [ti:By the Sea ] [by:] [hash:0e84d431012992778439d74b1d495516] [al:] [sign:] [qq:] [total:217782] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Gowe - By the Sea [00:11.07]I've seen you change [00:11.68]a lot you seen me grow up [00:13.27]From when my flow sucked [00:14.29]threw shows but no [00:15.21]one showed up [00:16.01]And so what you still [00:17.03]had my back through [00:17.68]the rain [00:18.09]It's crazy when [00:19.06]I think about the change [00:19.86]insane and lately [00:20.88]They show me love so when [00:22.04]I spit I represent you [00:23.43]The 2-0 through gowe [00:24.60]6'ing instrumentals [00:25.76]Killing any beat in itself [00:26.92]I'm speaking [00:28.15]Myself so when the heat peeks [00:29.31]I'm keeping it seeking for help [00:30.94]You light my eyes up [00:32.02]when the night falls [00:32.88]So I slow down on I-5 [00:34.46]to get a better picture [00:35.99]You're so pretty [00:36.80]I could leave but [00:37.72]I would miss ya [00:38.48]And to breathe in the [00:39.45]sea is where the air [00:40.44]is never crisper [00:41.36]I've seen people leave [00:42.17]but I'm a stand right here [00:43.50]So if the spotlight shines [00:44.42]You're gonna be right there [00:45.69]But tell me if I had [00:47.25]no rhythm or flow [00:48.31]Would you still have a place [00:49.48]in the city for gowe [00:50.87]If I couldn't paint a picture [00:52.39]with my words [00:53.17]Or bring you bright light [00:54.65]with a stage [00:55.35]Would you choose love me [00:57.57]Would you choose love me [01:01.06]If I couldn't fly around [01:02.49]to all the different towns [01:03.36]And represent you with my sound [01:05.49]Would you choose love me [01:07.67]Would you choose love me [01:11.53]I had a passion to write [01:12.72]the pen was glued [01:13.43]to my hand [01:13.94]When I was writing these [01:14.95]poems they were [01:15.46]forming a band [01:16.34]Alone did I stand [01:17.26]my dreams still intact [01:18.73]all the times [01:19.24]I was smacked for even [01:20.17]mentioning rap [01:21.06]Now my folks love it and they [01:22.64]just came to a show [01:23.80]They don't catch all of [01:24.65]the words but they [01:25.51]applaud for gowe [01:26.30]And as a son that brings [01:27.37]a big smile to my face [01:28.50]So When I'm done I'll [01:29.66]leave the bright lights [01:30.58]of the stage and recline [01:31.75]Reminisce on the times like [01:32.87]my first battle At the [01:34.16]Nippon kan theatre [01:34.77]I lost that one Or my first [01:36.89]out of state gig [01:37.80]And the crowd was small [01:39.03]Or the time we didn't have [01:40.09]a stage at terry hall [01:41.41]But we still rocked it [01:42.66]and it's for the love of [01:43.77]the art [01:44.34]And a rest in peace goes [01:45.45]out to the dearly depart [01:46.47]So I bump biggie smalls [01:47.41]one of the best emcees [01:48.89]While I zone out at my [01:50.06]spot as I reflect on me [01:51.43]If I couldn't paint a [01:52.65]picture with my words [01:53.87]Or bring you bright [01:54.78]lights with a stage [01:56.05]Would you choose love me [01:58.12]Would you choose love me [02:01.40]If I couldn't fly around to [02:02.82]all the different towns [02:03.98]And represent you with my sound [02:05.81]Would you choose love me [02:08.35]Would you choose love me [02:11.92]I used to sit [02:12.88]at this bench and [02:13.79]just write rhymes [02:14.74]So I could see the city lights [02:15.86]and memorize the skylines [02:16.97]So when I closed my eyes [02:18.18]I would see without seeing you [02:19.70]It was beautiful the [02:20.46]nights were so colorful [02:22.00]And now that I've grown up [02:23.27]I return to the spot [02:24.18]And take a seat on this bench [02:25.39]you got me thinking a lot [02:26.81]About the past [02:27.42]and the present and [02:28.19]Whether not I was destined [02:29.51]Or is it really a question will [02:30.82]I compromise in my message [02:31.84]Never you also told me [02:33.20]that my rhymes were too hard [02:34.34]That it was a bit complex [02:35.41]and so I took it to heart [02:36.93]Now my parts are more [02:38.14]friendly extending my hand [02:39.46]Not as abstract as then so [02:40.73]we can both understand [02:41.94]See you relate to my words [02:43.21]cause I experience you [02:44.37]Not to mention we been [02:45.38]close since the days of my youth [02:47.05]So regardless of where I [02:48.07]flew or might travel around [02:49.34]Where there's Gowe there'll [02:50.53]also be Seattle my town [02:52.08]If I couldn't paint a [02:53.01]picture with my words [02:54.43]Or bring you bright [02:55.36]lights with a stage [02:56.53]Would you choose love me [02:58.71]Would you choose love me [03:02.01]If I couldn't fly around [03:03.07]to all the different towns [03:04.30]And represent you with my sound [03:06.70]Would you choose love me [03:08.89]Would you choose love me [03:12.01]If I couldn't paint a [03:13.27]picture with my words [03:14.60]Or bring you bright [03:15.62]lights with a stage [03:16.99]Would you choose love me [03:19.03]Would you choose love me [03:22.24]If I couldn't fly around [03:23.25]to all the different towns [03:24.73]And represent you with my sound [03:26.91]Would you choose love me [03:29.15]Would you choose love me
