lyrics
TĀWHIRIMĀTEA WEHI by ESOLIGH feat A-F-R-O (ALL FLOWS REACH OUT)
The magician is the artist of madness
Verse One (ESOLIGH/ESOZILLA)
Drinking cola, sapporo, wai (that’s H2O), I’m the waterway away,
From being psycho in a day fight pain in every way working towards,
A better day that works for me, far away from suffering and pain, Working with the A-F-R-O-ZILLA who destroys the undisciplined easily
On the mic device he’s upright wielding swords it’s like slice slice slice,
Sushi made out of the face of anyone who ain’t come right, like, I must come to look okay in the third sight of these dark nights,
On this Earth while taking these meds, some say it’s Makutū,
Which hurts my physical and my spiritual when the disorder is familial,
I’m the canary in the coal mine, with the gases of the wrongness,
Making me drop dead every few years to reemerge like a Phoenix,
Somewhat healthy while medicated and enabled
Hook (ESOLIGH)
Battling to bring some bars out, forgotten by the Hip Hop sites,
Actually a never was, far from a has been, I work it out dee lite!
Write these rhymes within the shrine, that enables me foresight,
Wearing the Steelers, coloured like a Wu Tang Killa Bee, unaffiliated brightly
Verse Two (A-F-R-O)
Aloha mea’na Mano top of the Bingo Bango,
Rock with the Benny Blanco, Talk when I sing the song though,
Ready from any moments, At any pretty penny,
Steady Step to the man’ll be Heavy, I bet that Many know it,
Better not blow it whether I show, I’m the magnum opus,
And I apologise if I appear to be Braggadocious
When a brother go into a dazin’ well life I believe it’s amazin’,
Entice when I read to the page in, Advice I’ll leave to the anxious
Suffice to the beat in the pacin’, Combine with the Teachers Painting
In type incomplete within the basis, My mind be deep in the Matrix,
And I be chasing’ somethin’ that don’t even be realistic
Keep with it Keep on wishing to beat the hardship it’s specific
An intermission for my engine that I had to stop and refixin’
Conflicted while I’m picking the master lock
I open up, hopefully y’all can hear the emotion,
And I’m post to be seeking my peace, By the beach posting
Hook (ESOLIGH/ESOZILLA)
Battling to bring some bars out, forgotten by the Hip Hop sites,
Actually a never was, far from a has been, I work it out “Dee Lite”!
Write these rhymes within the shrine, that enables me foresight,
Wearing the Steelers, coloured like a Wu Tang Killa Bee, unaffiliated brightly
Verse Three (ESOLIGH)
I rise to the centre of the skies like an ultra-light-beam out ‘Ye’s dreams,
Getting-My-Dreams-Out to dampen soul-searing-screams like ‘Shudder’,
I Utter words to let me be more free like we was before I knew and loved Toni,
Who left me behind like we was no-one of import, less I knew more I saw
I got scoured by her soul and her inner turmoil out of control but emboldened,
My Heart scoured to the ventricles by her ways and she’s far from the first to do me this way,
I write these rhymes from a place of glad to be alive,
Remembering brothers like THE CDG who taught by THE ODB have allowed me to thrive
I’m aware of my life & feeling a certain type of ways about it knowing I might, die today,
Gives me the sight to find my way through the everyday fray I engage,
The Darkness’ played their songs worldwide, while I believed in a thing called love,
And know my passage through night and day is the gift I must hold tight to
Never ‘Give It Away’, like R-H-C-P do; knowing Impermanence of everyone and everything,
To enjoy the moment this truly matters, I’m a massive human being left Toni’s self in tatterz,
Because of Tyrones’ filthy lies & his desire to always be a Lion King
Hook (ESOLIGH/ESOZILLA)
Battling to bring some bars out, forgotten by the Hip Hop sites,
Actually a never was, far from a has been, I work it out dee lite!
Write these rhymes within the shrine, that enables me foresight,
Wearing the Steelers, coloured like a Wu Tang Killa Bee, unaffiliated brightly

Super brilliant and poignant penmanship. Elzhi paints revealing and engaging pictures with his vocabulary choices and verbal patterning. This is something highly worthy of your focus and interest. Esoligh
Ferocious penmanship, utter brilliant musicianship. The brother Tom Scott, assembles and crew of geniuses to join him in creating something that looms like a fiery volcano on the musical landscape. Esoligh
Highly therapeutic for the soulful amongst us. This exceptional release from the ones like Blu & Exile, are sounds for sore ears. These type of efforts make it worthwhile to be a music fan in 2020. Esoligh
A deeply moving hip-hop epic structured around voice recordings from the Aussie rapper's family, friends, and therapist. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 1, 2023
