[00:11.11]I've seen you change a lot you seen me grow up
[00:13.31]From when my flow sucked threw shows but no one showed up
[00:15.71]And so what you still had my back through the rain
[00:17.93]It's crazy when I think about the change insane and lately
[00:20.31]They show me love so when I spit I represent you
[00:23.18]The 2-0 through gowe 6'ing instrumentals
[00:25.62]Killing any beat in itself I'm speaking
[00:28.08]Myself so when the heat peeks I'm keeping it seeking for help
[00:30.64]You light my eyes up when the night falls
[00:33.25]So I slow down on I-5 to get a better picture
[00:35.96]You're so pretty
[00:36.91]I could leave but I would miss ya
[00:38.53]And to breathe in the sea is where the air is never crisper
[00:40.99]I've seen people leave but I'm a stand right here
[00:43.15]So if the spotlight shines
[00:44.54]You're gonna be right there
[00:45.77]But tell me if I had no rhythm or flow
[00:48.09]Would you still have a place in the city for gowe
[00:50.91]If I couldn't paint a picture with my words,
[00:52.75]Or bring you bright lights with a stage
[00:55.43]Would you still love me?
[00:57.84]Would you still love me?
[01:01.07]If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns
[01:03.28]And represent you with my sound
[01:05.42]Would you still love me?
[01:07.82]Would you still love me?
[01:11.67]I had a passion to write the pen was glued to my hand
[01:13.95]When I was writing these poems they were forming a band
[01:16.33]Alone did I stand my dreams still intact all the times
[01:18.70]I was smacked for even mentioning rap
[01:21.00]Now my folks love it and they just came to a show
[01:23.47]They don't catch all of the words but they applaud for gowe
[01:26.20]And as a son, that brings a big smile to my face
[01:28.63]So When I'm done
[01:29.58]I'll leave the bright lights of the stage and recline
[01:31.53]Reminisce on the times like my first battle At the Nippon kan theatre
[01:35.29]I lost that one Or my first out of state gig
[01:38.11]And the crowd was small
[01:39.12]Or the time we didn't have a stage at terry hall
[01:41.17]But we still rocked it
[01:42.50]and it's for the love of the art
[01:43.71]And a rest in peace goes out to the dearly depart
[01:46.29]So I bump biggie smalls one of the best emcees
[01:48.79]While I zone out at my spot as I reflect on me
[01:51.23]If I couldn't paint a picture with my words
[01:53.77]Or bring you bright lights with a stage
[01:55.74]Would you still love me? Would you still love me?
[02:01.44]If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns
[02:04.00]And represent you with my sound
[02:05.80]Would you still love me?
[02:08.51]Would you still love me?
[02:12.39]I used to sit at this bench and just write rhymes
[02:14.79]So I could see the city lights and memorize the skylines
[02:16.70]So when I closed my eyes
[02:17.97]I would see without seeing you
[02:19.39]It was beautiful the nights were so colorful
[02:22.16]And now that I've grown up I return to the spot
[02:24.21]And take a seat on this bench you got me thinking a lot
[02:26.67]About the past and the present and Whether not I was destined
[02:28.71]Or is it really a question will I compromise in my message?
[02:31.87]Never, you also told me that my rhymes were too hard
[02:34.50]That it was a bit complex and so I took it to heart
[02:36.84]Now my parts are more friendly extending my hand
[02:39.34]Not as abstract as then so we can both understand
[02:41.90]See you relate to my words cause I experience you
[02:44.36]Not to mention we been close since the days of my youth
[02:46.92]So regardless of where I flew or might travel around
[02:49.55]Where there's gowe there'll also be Seattle my town
[02:52.05]If I couldn't paint a picture with my words,
[02:54.67]Or bring you bright lights with a stage
[02:56.37]Would you still love me?
[02:58.86]Would you still love me?
[03:02.17]If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns
[03:04.51]And represent you with my sound
[03:06.38]Would you still love me?
[03:09.02]Would you still love me?
[03:12.30]If I couldn't paint a picture with my words,
[03:14.53]Or bring you bright lights with a stage
[03:16.52]Would you still love me?
[03:19.17]Would you still love me?
[03:22.42]If I couldn't fly around to all the different towns
[03:24.74]And represent you with my sound
[03:26.60]Would you still love me?
[03:29.34]Would you still love me?
