My engineer Rizván's favourite waiata on this album. Says something. He tells me it gives him tears. Tohungatanga strong on this one. "Every negative has within it the seed of an equal or greater positive" - Napoleon Hill.
lyrics
SUNNY SIDE UP feat ESOREX1, PAKKZ THA GENERAL, RIZVÁN & SCIZZORHANDS
SAMPLE PERFORMED throughout CHORUSES (RIZVÁN)
My life, my life, my life, my life,
In the sunshine (x2)
CHORUS (ESOLIGH)
Yo! here I come, sunny sunny side up,
Chin up, dimples showing, we rowing,
And rolling, we strolling, forward, oh lord kid
Yo! here I come, sunny sunny side up,
Chin up, dimples showing, we rowing,
We're rolling, we strolling, forward, oh lord kid
VERSE ONE (ESOLIGH/ESOREX1)
I bust these rhythms through my rhymes,
Draw from the vine these intra signs,
Shine the mind from inner lines,
Nines on nines the baby’s timed
Who are you but who you are,
Silently praying up to stars,
Shaqles drops this funky jam,
I hit land, like internal tans
Keeping my inner sight glued,
Righteous rhyming, dopest dudes,
Soulfood, wholefoods, good n true,
Defining words like dictionaries
Playing inside minds, like Pictionary,
I sire entire discographies,
Ripping minions apart like muscles atrophy,
Spitting clarity with trained barbarity
CHORUS (ESOLIGH)
Yo! here I come, sunny sunny side up,
Chin up, dimples showing, we rowing,
And rolling, we strolling, forward, oh lord kid
Yo! here I come, sunny sunny side up,
Chin up, dimples showing, we rowing,
We're rolling, we strolling, forward, oh lord kid
VERSE TWO (ESOLIGH)
Bustin’ out these words from within,
I rhyme insightful bringing out the wind,
Flatulence not the one I mean, change,
Like a changeling, state I dream
People, people, people yes!
Scroobius and Sage on stage with Def!
Life to life flowers and flower pots,
Light to living like Sasquatch
It’s a choice we all must make,
Elate our hearts deny the fake,
It’s a boom bap swing set down the lake,
Tight the fight is freight on tape
We must light the fire inside a snake,
And deftly base our walk on fate,
Karmic debts state a case,
We must rise up escape the space
CHORUS (ESOLIGH)
Yo! here I come, sunny sunny side up,
Chin up, dimples showing, we rowing,
And rolling, we strolling, forward, oh lord kid
Yo! here I come, sunny sunny side up,
Chin up, dimples showing, we rowing,
We're rolling, we strolling, forward, oh lord kid
VERSE THREE (PAKKZ THA GENERAL)
I see things through the ‘Sunny Side Up’,
Hard is how I came up, but not everything’s rough,
Some days go good, some of them is bad,
Don’t feel isolated cos, everyone’s mad
Everyone’s sad you just gotta keep headstrong,
Tomorrow ain’t promised, not everybody’s here long,
Do your thing in the cold world, stay warm,
Even when shit’s tough homie, keep form
Hip Hop is our release,
Put the beats on box and let them calm down the beast,
Keep it a hunnid even more cos I’m dead broke,
Never walked in my shoes grind for years in the big smoke
If one of us make it, then we all do,
Read between the lines, and look for the small clues,
Tautoko and Manaaki,
Those are two keys to keep your life hearty
CHORUS (ESOLIGH)
Yo! here I come, sunny sunny side up,
Chin up, dimples showing, we rowing,
And rolling, we strolling, forward, oh lord kid
Yo! here I come, sunny sunny side up,
Chin up, dimples showing, we rowing,
We're rolling, we strolling, forward, oh lord kid
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
