Blueprint - Great Eyedeas Never Die (King No Crown) lyrics
[Blueprint - Great Eyedeas Never Die King No Crown lyrics]
They say that dying young is
Only for the unlucky
But, I envy all the ones
That get to leave early life’s a trip
You better have your bags ready
You never wanna be the last
One to leave the party
I thought that we would go first
And you would tell our story
Maybe make a movie about the
Rhymesayers rise to glory
The classic albums, the fanfare
The world tours so it’s kind of weird I’m
Here now telling yours
I’ve been losing people my whole adult life
Never been one to exploit my pain in a song
I wish this was one I didn’t have to write
But until I do
I’ll never get a chance to mourn
So what you’re hearing now is
Way more than a song
It’s insurance that your
Memory remains strong
None stronger than two soldiers that
Done been to war cause even in death
You can’t break that kind of bond
Me and you used to battle fools everywhere
I thought we was only
Battling with that aggression
But over time, it now seems very clear
That battle was a metaphor for
A more important lesson if you love the art
You’ll fight over it's progression
If you think it’s easy
Then you probably don’t respect it
And if you turn and run whenever people
Question where your heart is at
Then you probably don’t deserve to rep it
Now that we made it to the end, what a ride
It was an honor being in
The trenches by your side
There’s a place in my heart that I
Set aside for you my dude
‘Cause great Eyedeas never die
I hope to do half of what
You did with your time
Touch the people that you touched
Here with your rhyme
There’s a place in my heart that I
Set aside for you my dude
‘Cause great Eyedeas never die
Never die never die
Never die
Always loved how you lived
Life with no regrets
That’s why your spirit touched so
Many that you never met
Only thing that ever gets me upset
Is strangers telling us specific ways
That we should pay respect
It’s hard not to take that the wrong way
When I was taught that everybody
Mourns their own way
Flower’s on grey, some cry, some pray
But every Rhymesayers artist mourns on stage
They need to understand we
Still private people
Even if we live very public lives
So if we shed tears and they don’t see it
It doesn’t mean that we never cried
But either way I’ma carry the torch
I wish you was around to see
Just how you influenced me
I don’t care if they don’t
Get what I’m doing now
‘Cause now I’m doing it for me
When y’all grabbed them By the Throat
They didn’t get it but, you knew that they
Would come around eventually
I tried to think about how
Strong y’all was back then
So the nay-sayers words don’t get to me
For everything you gave
Throughout your career
At least I can do is take the
Time to put it in a song
I still can’t believe you ain’t here
But even though you’re gone
Your ideas carry on
Now that we made it to the end, what a ride
It was an honor being in
The trenches by your side
There’s a place in my heart that I
Set aside for you my dude
‘Cause great Eyedeas never die
I hope to do half of what
You did with your time
Touch the people that you touched
Here with your rhyme
There’s a place in my heart that I
Set aside for you my dude
‘Cause great Eyedeas never die never die
Never die never die
Only for the unlucky
But, I envy all the ones
