lyrics
COMMUNITY by ESOLIGH feat SHAQLES & DJ SCIZZORHANDS
CHORUS (Esoligh)
Community, means everything to me,
Everyone together working kotahi,
Kotahitanga is the way of my mahi
Community, means everything to me,
Everyone together working kotahi,
Kotahitanga is the way of my mahi,
Like a taniwha
VERSE ONE (ESOLIGH)
What up, to Legal Money Mike!
Yea yup, that brother is maddd tight,
Had my back since I appeared from thin air,
Disappeared to a ward then I reappeared!
Thanks my bro, mad puawai to you g!
The one like Marcus Delic reminds me,
Of the homie, the mythology, Legal Money,
A community walking upright on the daily
James Delic spits mantras, spiritually,
Bringing the Indigo prominently,
MC Bjorn I met at the clubhouse Arcade,
One of the greatest, Iwi of Aotearoa made
A blessed moment, that keeps going on,
The people I love, walk upright, walk on,
Arohanui to my tuahine Ally, and her fiancee Johnny,
Straight to you in Germany to bless your reality
CHORUS (ESOLIGH)
Community, means everything to me,
Everyone together working kotahi,
Kotahitanga is the way of my mahi
Community, means everything to me,
Everyone together working kotahi,
Kotahitanga is the way of my mahi,
Like a taniwha
VERSE TWO (ESOLIGH)
Sitting here in Birkdale liveily,
The community is felt here on fb,
The community pages tell me more,
About who lives around me y’all
Than any other interaction, in the street,
Cos we just walk by everyone we meet,
Or drive past each other ignorant of we,
It’s tv land like k-os said believe me
We all together kept apart by the television screen,
1984, unnecessary buying is the mainstream,
Stay free be yourself only,
Not someone elses' putty
The freedom is yours if you let it be,
It’s not mine to give away,
But yours to find for yourself,
Free them dope rhymes from the shelf
Yo! Free like Gandalf and all the elves
CHORUS (ESOLIGH)
Community, means everything to me,
Everyone together working kotahi,
Kotahitanga is the way of my mahi
Community, means everything to me,
Everyone together working kotahi,
Kotahitanga is the way of my mahi,
Like a taniwha
VERSE THREE (SHAQLES)
So I be here on step one,
Sitting near a wall where,
My thoughts give the less-on,
On one of them days I feel less on
I think about my fam in return,
I put my best on, knowing i could I press on,
Uh, gather round, candy in a bag,
I'm swinging the bat around
And I got a batarang,
I'm sending it outta town,
In other words,
I'm steady holding it down
And I dun came long way from it,
Things I dun seen that make it hard to stomach,
And I'm all about chillin' and working towards a better life,
Past friends keep telling me the wrong advice..
And if you be the one to try and impress on,
Know that inside you got a weapon.
It's set on the real,
Instead of postin' up being headstrong,
Try to be the only one living, not slept on
CHORUS (ESOLIGH)
Community, means everything to me,
Everyone together working kotahi,
Kotahitanga is the way of my mahi
Community, means everything to me,
Everyone together working kotahi,
Kotahitanga is the way of my mahi,
Like a taniwha
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
