Persistence

Lyrics

[Ad-libs: Phrase] Yeah [Verse 1: Bliss, Esoterik & Phrase] Who woulda thought that a page o' words Could slide through an estate like a cage o' birds? Let loose from the freedom when we blaze the verse (Man) BnE and big Phrase've gotta make this work So take the thirst, [?] shows we did And you ain't got a fuckin' reason, (Yeah) I'ma throw your fist We're just them cool cats that are starvin' a bus 2006, who worked the land harder than us? Harvest the bud for drivin' down to show somethin' ill To carvin' it up, flyin' down snow covered hills Yeah, you know the name, I'm that airborne author That spit flames and walks on water You know why they love it, because we're livin' it Eso and a capital P, now that's militant [Chorus: Bliss & Phrase] Now this is what persistence looks like A shitload o' passion with a dream that took time So bring it all together with a bait and hook line And sink it 'til the whole crowd screams a hook, (Yeah) right? [Verse 2: Phrase] Hold up, lads, let's get it straight here It ain't like they gave us a break here Fuck fate, we were not gonna wait here We took ours like lines from a plate, yeah And if that means we're doin' it tough We ration to make it happen in the back of a bus A couple o' good friends and a packet o' love That spills from in a pen to in the back of a club [Verse 3: Esoterik] And it's a backyard barbie every month o' the year Bonfire on a beach with a blunt and a beer You think I give a shit about a watch on a wrist While my crew is on the road, tryna dodge from the pigs? We do this on the daily, we bushbash to be here In a [?]box with three gears We took the crown, we shook the ground Look around, I'm too high for you to put me down [Verse 4: Bliss] We hit that midnight chalet with a blazin' fireplace And never let go o' the dream, chase to dire straights The sunset barons who rumble the coastline And gallop 'cross seas, fuelled by not'in' but dope rhymes A ghost caravan, they can't see these cunnies Look for the trail o' weed smoke and VB stubbies See? I share my mental with this blarin' pencil Dedication, doubt and time, the motherfuckin' bare essentials [Chorus: Bliss & Phrase] Now this is what persistence looks like A shitload o' passion with a dream that took time Now bring it all together with a bait and hook line And sink it 'til the whole crowd screams a hook, right? This is what persistence looks like A shitload o' passion with a dream that took time Now bring it all together (Um) with a bait and hook line (Wooh-wee!) And sink it 'til the whole crowd screams a hook, right? [Verse 5: Bliss, Esoterik & Phrase] Right, right, let's get 'em good, man BnE get it crackin' in the hood, man Bring in the riff-raff, roll and twist that (Yeah) And kick (Check it out) back, followed by a stolen (Yo) six pack You get a gift wrapped bitch slap fuckin' with us That's why everyone's down like nothin' was up We are the original, you're that same song bitch And what I spit's like a James Bond flick It's that fresh shit hot from the asshole The fire in ya gut like a shot o' Tabasco An entourage o' Brascos, rap and roll With (Yeah) some Phrase and motherfuckin' original [?] [Bridge: Phrase] (Everybody say, "hey") Them boys do whatever they like (Say, "Hi") Rock spots tight every night (Everybody say, "hey") They came but never as nice (Say, "Hi") So them boys do whatever they like (Everybody say, "hey") Them boys do whatever they like (Say, "Hi") Rock spots tight every night (Everybody say, "hey") BnE and big P on that mic (Say, "Hi") So them boys do whatever they like [Chorus: Bliss] Now this is what persistence looks like A shitload o' passion with a dream that took time Now bring it all together with a bait and hook line And sink it 'til the whole crowd screams a hook, right? This is what persistence looks like A shitload o' passion with a dream that took time Now bring it all together with a bait and hook line And sink it 'til the whole crowd screams a hook, right? [Album Interlude] Make no mistake What I have to teach will be frightening The truth is an acquired taste But once you get to it That's all you ever want That's all
