The first time I have worked with an international beatmaker (The Audible Doctor of the Brown Bag AllStars). It came out very well. Very dope track in my view, the first appearance of my alterego ESOREX1, my Christian-influenced wielder of the Wu Tang Sword.
lyrics
DECIMATE FOES by ESOLIGH feat ESOREX1 and RAIZA BIZA
CHORUS (ESOLIGH/ESOREX1)
Smashing skulls of the negative, spiritually,
Lighting fires in the bellies of the beautifullest peeps,
We be we, we be free,
Peace to you, you gotta be, you gotta be, baby, baby
Smashing skulls of the negative, spiritually,
Lighting fires in the bellies of the beautifullest peeps,
We be we, we be free,
Peace to you, you gotta be, you gotta be, baby, baby
VERSE ONE (ESOREX1)
Yo I 'Decimate Foes' with flows,
Breaking nosebones, wise knowledge knows,
Metaphorically splitting, heads as I said
Break beats, break legs, break minds, divine ensigns
Knowledge reigns supreme, over negative I told you so's,
Busting down doors, with the flows,
Righteous rhythms written, rhyme schemes worn like mittens,
Dissing fools that are lost in the matrix
Lighted steps lift feet over foes trait tricks
Despited steptoe tricks lost to my picks,
Speak truth and not folly, foolish words, manure lorry,
Spitting this fight at night, much tight
The sight I see is dear an' clear as beer
To an alcoholic skating like Peter Smolik,
Grinding, flipping, ruling, oh yip sick tricks,
Bru the vision is undissable, kissable
Gotta sight the beautiful within and around us,
Light up the lamp with the truest of trueness and soundness,
Say yes to best, in the west of the nest,
Staying in Birkdale, haere ra to Blessie
Wack eggs do wack things unbesty,
Tear down the ugly with the lighted,
Right best sights we're knighted with,
Rise up like the lost children find yourself
Hands are dealt to smelt your pelt to armour with,
Paying the piper like ya karma disarmer,
Boom bappin' harm like a shwarma,
Eat a nana like Shanna banana
Sent to ya, meant to ya,
These words spoken are written clearer,
Hear the ones you hold dearer to ya
A new one like a massive tackle from a rugby centre,
Bless ya, represent to ya
CHORUS (ESOLIGH/ESOREX1)
Smashing skulls of the negative, spiritually,
Lighting fires in the bellies of the beautifullest peeps,
We be we, we be free,
Peace to you, you gotta be, you gotta be, baby, baby
Smashing skulls of the negative, spiritually,
Lighting fires in the bellies of the beautifullest peeps,
We be we, we be free,
Peace to you, you gotta be, you gotta be, baby, baby
VERSE TWO (RAIZA BIZA)
Wah wah, wah wah, wah
One of the most defiant,
Flow close to the heart,
Like the song Lauryn Hill wrote for Zion,
Feel it all combine
Inside these thoughts of mine,
When innocent lives are lost like Columbine,
I'm on my grind,
Studio all the time
Going against the grain,
I never did fall in line,
This is a style I made I call it mine,
The only shit that I rap is the shit that is on my mind
Left it all behind,
Put 'em all in a line,
Sacrifice is necessary,
Leave it all behind
Got these rap critics backflipping with these rap writtens,
Couple rap spitters in the spot with some bad women,
Lose it all just to fall at the Devil's gates,
Tatted tears like Kevin Gates
Mumma said that I never wait,
I'm just trying to catch a ride up to level 8,
Better get it straight,
Young Biza voice of the young people
Mouth piece for move makers,
Voice of the true shakers,
Seen it all I'm just tryna get a few acres,
Couple chains got me trapped up in some new cages
CHORUS (ESOLIGH/ESOREX1)
Smashing skulls of the negative, spiritually,
Lighting fires in the bellies of the beautifullest peeps,
We be we, we be free,
Peace to you, you gotta be, you gotta be, baby, baby
Smashing skulls of the negative, spiritually,
Lighting fires in the bellies of the beautifullest peeps,
We be we, we be free,
Peace to you, you gotta be, you gotta be, baby, baby
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
