lyrics
JEWEL HEARTS feat HEEFHAKABOOGIE & SCIZZORHANDS
VERSE ONE (ESOLIGH)
Grandma Rowena passed away yesterday,
Sadly but not so, sadly, sure to me,
Grandma was a brilliant example true-ely,
Smashing raps out 1 2 3 to be free
Yo death is a part of life,
Like ‘Eternal Grower’ outlined to every life,
Breaking badness with the radness see through the sadness,
We are everyone, badness beckons not the one
Rowena Isobel Patterson nee Duxbury was one in a million,
She was a billion dollar hearted puawai,
Knew Stephen Pawai of Rangitane,
Righteous rhymes I set these free
What is your favourite lightfully?
There’s more of me that Grandma sees,
98 years young a favourite bee,
KIndhearted wisdom is who she be
CHORUS (ESOLIGH)
E Kuia, E Koro
...
E Kuia, E Koro

E Kuia, E Koro

VERSE TWO (ESOLIGH)
Grandpa reunited with Grandma,
Big hugs in heavenly situations, yah
Free your strength of love to the motions,
Your light gave me life elevations
Leaving left sided lefties alight,
My Grandma an artist so nice,
Here I am as I write no bite,
Left over right tai chi might
Mighty Mos Def and Andrew Patterson,
Eccentric geneii with much in common,
My heart is throbbin’ out flow,
I let the kind hearted know
A once in a lifetime show,
A Grandparents love just goes,
Flight to the sky is thine,
Embracing the divine ensign all the time
CHORUS (ESOLIGH)
E Kuia, E Koro

VERSE TWO (HEEFHAKABOOGIE)
Tautoko Manawa, ain’t no English equivalent for what you are,
Our sun and stars for you close yet you’re so far,
The other side called you home and you responded,
And all you ever wanted for us was the best standard
Only you could melt the cold hearts of your grandkids,
The city school of hard knocks gave us harsh lessons,
Still just pitbulls with puppies in your presence,
At age 9 I didn’t even know your first names
Didn’t need to, Nana koro e ro meant the same,
Love, unbiased and unconditional,
Earliest memories I recall sitting there listening to,
You playing trumpet and singing up in the living room
Me and Veronica with tambourines to join along,
Staring up in awe, kids lost in song,
I swear you still hand me melodies from up above,
This music is in my blood
And when you left I wouldn’t believe it,
Yeah they say the first cut is the deepest,
Though it was the second to me it still felt the same,
Different circumstances, still the same pain
Yeah I miss you Koro knew that things would change,
Worried bout Nan, how would she maintain,
I was young but couldn’t bear the thought of only you up in the house,
Never wanted to see you lonely
Still each year you'd send a card on my bday,
With the sweetest messages that I would relay,
Years when arthritis would make your hands shake,
I teared up watching your handwriting deteriorate
Ink smudges from the times I let em fall,
I'd Curse Gods, curse time yeah fuck ‘em all,
Held it in thought it was being a man,
I was still just a boy who loved his Nan
And though we always told you I hope you understand,
We’re all just your mokos who loved you and,
Pass the message on to the rest of the fam,
Ka tutaki ae ki te ao te arai
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
