On the Run – Motian

Categories: Audio, Hip Hop, Song, Spotify, The Latest|Tags: BoomBap, Conscious Hip-Hop, Hip-hop, Motian, Old-school Hip-Hop, Review (GR), Spotify Playlist - Hip Hop by Nagamag, United States|

“Η ξεχωριστή και ιδιαίτερη μελωδία ξεχωρίζει από την πρώτη στιγμή και δυναμιτίζει την ατμόσφαιρα με τις έντονες εναλλαγές της.
Τα υπέροχα φωνητικά με τον επιθετικό χαρακτήρα τους έχουν λυτρωτικό αποτέλεσμα, καθώς μια εσωτερική έκρηξη βρίσκει διέξοδο.
Η ευκίνητη ροή τους προσφέρει ψυχική ευεξία και μας βγάζει από την αδράνεια. Η ένταση του ρυθμού είναι ακριβώς αυτό που χρειαζόμαστε.”

Lyrics of Motian – On the Run

I been on a road yea I’m always on the run
Running from the past always on the run
Never truly learned how to really love myself
Almost gave up on myself
Always on the run yea I’m always on the run
Hard on myself like father to a son
Starting to figure out how to really love myself
I won’t give up on myself

I been on the run like a criminal
Got a lot of scars that ain’t visible
I’m going hella fast
Hoping I don’t crash
Story of my life yea I’m running from the past
Never really had the guts to face it
Starting to recognize that I’m stuck in the matrix
Maybe I should dig myself out
Will I ever figure myself out
Maybe yes maybe no but fuck self doubt
I helped every out but left myself out
I let myself down and put my goals in the back burner
Life’s a teacher, guess I’m not a fast learner
Cause I been learning all the hard ways
Soon enough we will have to part ways
I’ve seen so many dark days
Devils always trying to get me to partake

Sometimes I feel like quitting
The average life is not fulfilling
I been sick with the flow for a long time success is my penicillin
How do I get there
How do I fund it
How do I live in abundance
God help me fight the evil that’s been living among us
I’m like a vigilante
Lyrically serving justice
Keeping the music dope and hopeful never lacking substance
I was raised to be afraid of what they had to say about me
Negative people all around me
Chucking deuces yea I’m outtie
Yea I’m outtie
Yea I’m gone
I can always say that I did it on my own
The king of perseverance yea I’m chilling on the throne
I do it for the kid in me even thou I’m grown
It feels like my whole’s been a paradox
Looking back at it feels like I just killed the clock
Feels like I’m always running out of time
But its all an illusion running through the mind

Never really had the guts to face it
Starting to recognize that I’m stuck in the matrix
Maybe I should dig myself out
Will I ever figure myself out

“Ο όμορφος συνδυασμός φωνητικών, όπου οι απαλές νεραϊδίσιες φωνές συναντούν άλλες πιο δυναμικές και σκληρές μας γοητεύει. Η γλυκιά μελωδία με τις εντάσεις της συνθέτει ένα υπέροχο σκηνικό μαγείας άκρως απολαυστικό. Ο ρυθμός αναστατώνει τα πνεύματα και μας ταξιδεύει μέσα στους διαδρόμους του μυαλού και της φαντασίας.”

Lyrics of Nemo Nebbia – NÉOPRÈNE

Queue d’ poiss et les pneus crissent, je suis dans mon jeu d’ piste
Les futurs vieux disent qu’ les ex-jeunes font du jeunisme
Envoie mes ondes en maison d’ retraite
Gratte les décombres, vois c’que mes songes reflètent
Si tout s’effondre, rejette la faute, ce s’ra tête contre tête
Bombe le torse, comble le vide, tombe de haut, regrette
Bombe le torse, comble le vide, fais semblant de renaître
Faire germer la haine, entre le sexe et la mort
Quand tu gères, j’ élabore, quitte à chercher la merde
Pieds au sol, nez au ciel, seconde peau, néoprène
Avant qu’le corps éclate, tes antennes reliées aux miennes
Entre la parole et l’acte, hamac entre deux éoliennes
Pieds au sol, nez au ciel, seconde peau, néoprène
Entre la parole et l’acte, hamac entre deux éoliennes
Avant qu’ le corps éclate, tes antennes reliées aux miennes
Sortez les violons y’a des vessies pleines
Don Quichottes modernes, v’la les spécimens
Errer sans répit dans récits ternes, jusqu’à aimer s’y perdre
Une quête c’est si beau, certaines sont si vaines
Esquiver les cyclones viser l’chant des cigales
Rimes et décibels dans l’épiderme
Marée basse, tu ramasses
Fais sonner les mots en tirant les chasse
En tirant la gueule, deux pieds dans la vase
En creusant la phrase idées noires se noient dans la masse
Rafales de vents dans la face
Anticipe l’anticyclone d’vant la glace
L’horizon s’élargit en ouvrant l’atlas
Couplet one Shot, sapé tout cheap
Ça fait good, chic, sacré coup d’chicos
Chacun ses goûts d’chiottes, classique musique
Premier opéra s’appelait Puccino
Faux reconnaissent faux
Aucun demi dieu que des demi molles
Réduire l’écart entre la parole et l’acte
Si possible sur mes deux guibolles
Pieds au sol, nez au ciel, seconde peau, néoprène
Avant qu’ le corps éclate, tes antennes reliées aux miennes
Entre la parole et l’acte, hamac entre deux éoliennes
Pieds au sol, nez au ciel, seconde peau, néoprène
Entre la parole et l’acte, hamac entre deux éoliennes
Avant qu’ le corps éclate, tes antennes reliées aux miennes

Lyrics of Dylan Owen – Romantic Language

Oh
Only love will take you higher
Lay your head down
Oh
Only love will take you higher
Lay your head down

Back when all I wanted
Was to rap on good soul beats
I used to think when I’d grow up
I’d be home free
I can’t lie sometimes
I miss the old me
Smoking blunts on the porch
And spitting dope frees
And if the beat was addictive
I’d go OD
So let me go OD
DO
Dylan Owen feel pain no limits
Real name no gimmicks
Living life where
Angels go missing
At their strange cold shivering heights
Still spitting despite
Still not too cool to rip on a mic
Cyclops perspective
My vision is bright
Weapon X with the claws
I swing and I slice
I’ve seen the gates of heaven
And the the walls of hell
I’ve seen the Golden Gate Bridge
And stood there by myself
Contemplating everything
But in time, time would tell
No one but you can find yourself
So go find yourself

Drake had a 40
Em had a Dre
Guru had a Preemo
Hov had a Ye
So when I feel alone
And I don’t know what to say
I remember my friends have my back
Okay?

Nah I’mma wrap it up quick
Just enjoy
Me and naebird are like
The new Nas and Hit-Boy
My girl and me are like the new
Eva Mendes and Ryan
Watch me go sling shots at Goliath
So if this is the last song I make in my life
I swear to God I guarantee
That every cadence is right
And every single syncopated syllable
I drop has landed
I’m from the sticks
I don’t know shit about olive branches
But when my man Ceschi
Asked me tour with him
I saw the country differently
I’m not bored with it
I just needed more living
More fists full of more splinters
I could count the people that I love
On his four fingers

Drake had a 40
Em had a Dre
Guru had a Preemo
Hov had a Ye
So when I feel alone
And I don’t know what to say
I remember my crew’s got my back
Okay?

I had to move
I had to make a change
If I didn’t I would have stayed trapped
In that vacant place
All you need are orange nikes
A boombox and a cartridge
When you’ve done seven years
In a shoebox apartment
Now I dream of a life
That I never planned to
That we could share the span of
At a house in Montana
And I’ll learn to speak Spanish
And quote it at the banquet
Just to say I love you in a more romantic language

Oh
Only love will take you higher
So lay your head down
Oh
Only love will take you higher
So lay your head down
Oh
Only love will take you higher
So lay your head down
Oh
Only love will take you higher
So lay your head down
Oh
Only love will take you higher
So lay your head down
Oh
Only love will take you higher
So lay your head down
