Nujabes - Down to the Earth lyrics

[Beyonce Talking] Delivery me from mine enemies, O God Defend me from those that rise up against me Deliver me from the workers of iniquity And save me from the bloody men [Verse 1] I got too much faith in this shot I'm finna take So come along for the ride you can witness the follow-through No slave to the dollar but cash is needed for the journey But surely not the destination's end Cuz I got bigger things waitin at the bottom of the net Tryna get the ball rollin' like backspin off my fingertips This is textbook, authentic rap No lip singin' off the singer's lips I'm climbin' the path of glory with stairs at heavy increments There's no short-cuts to success Don't f**ing ask me where the escalator is The revolutionary breath Will tour de stade around the globe Before you make it up the escalator kids I'm down to the earth still grazing up the steps/steppes But I know they get jealous better catch ‘em goaltending on a star The shots ring out like Ringo and the Beatles, I Pray my homies don't fall apart Partially cuz I'm home to the whole globe Been blessed with more than you know and I got a lot of souls to carry in my shopping cart How can I only help myself when I got the best health And I see ‘em brain washed I won't let your brains rot cuz When you spit fire you feel it burning, I Got to unleash the burden that's buried in my heart Underestimated, they don't believe I'm Smart enough to Shaka world with the 13 seed My 13 tracks still hangin' with the best emcees [Hook] It's funny how the music put time in perspective I believe I can change a life with one record Why was I created, I'm tryna find my maker Tryna duck the evils made by my own creator Then distributed by the humans, this is not our nature And blame it all on a devil that prolly don't even hate us or exist But your guilt still insist on this figment of imagination This content flooded kid cripples Satan With enough righteousness to peel off on a nimbus cloud See I'm on another level but don't let the height get you down Cuz I'm down the earth and the style is way underground See I'm on another level but don't let the height get you down Cuz I'm down the earth and the style is way underground [Verse 2] If money make the world go round I live in a time before the Chinese made paper currencies So you can't hide your a**ets All I got is this mic and this bad breath With which I'm k**in' beats Let's trade fairly so it's like If you wanna save your life, just give me your rapping dignity I speak for the humans starving for truth This flavor will sustain you through the desert with a manner (manna) Of rapping that heals the blind when I'm in the booth This must be destiny of course They gon' hear the sharpest talent but They hardly get the point - shaven like Muhammad Amir This prodigy will never be bribed by Satan Funny how we can grab the coldest whip And still steer out of gear No need to fear in the quintessential recital This is essential to our survival I'll cause every tribe to bow down For a mere sedentary nomad Let my city go mad for a slow jam That is a prayer between me and the Lord, this is our romance You're very blessed I even recorded these And wrote ‘em in my diary And now you finna see that the Journey is not unrealistic I'm hardly optimistic and so persistent because I see the distance Between me and the greatest is minuscule in relation to The miles of tribulation From the village of my daddy to "Subs" of Cincinnati [Hook] [DragonBall Excerpt] What does this thing do? If you can manage to sit on this cloud it can fly you wherever you want But, you must be pure of heart to ride this cloud That boy, is strange
