Miyagi Dojo by Esoligh
Verse One
I say kung fu between me and you,
Has helped me see what I wanna see and be,
Has helped me find within myself insight,
I clean up the unkempt gardens that indite
Need to kung fu clean up my messy room,
Sweeping out the cobwebs n deftly broom,
Words applied to watching the dream of Dune,
Solid work like a slap from a baboon
I jam with the tune within Miyagi’s room,
His whanau dojo where I sit in June,
Japanese living by an American airbase,
Slap to the face with some mud to taste
It’s GCSB and it’s old Johnny Key,
It’s a lifeless likeness of me on TV,
I walk proudly towards my hopeful goal,
This painful life living daily takes its toll
Verse Two
Balance yourself within like I do,
I felt depressed and didn’t want to,
Do anything at all but sit on my arse,
Kumare encouraged me to take task
These daily tasks we all must do,
We gotta see our way forward as best we can do,
Everyone together acting in unison,
Many don’t see reality as soon as this son
Themselves is all they care about,
Stuff everyone, they don’t train their sight,
Look past the perspectives they have inside,
True growth requires hard work and graft
Asking ourselves to find our path,
Facing others fears is a daily reality,
The wise part inside walks out of banality,
Scraping off rust and its spread with trust
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
