Luv(sic) Grand Finale - Nujabes&Shing02

[00:04.0]Luv(sic) Grand Finale - Nujabes&Shing02
[00:41.35]I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world
[00:44.38]Now you got me day dreaming sleeping in a curl
[00:46.8]Her name on my tongue a fresh flavor yup
[00:49.31]Whenever she popped up put a swirl on my cone
[00:51.98]I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth
[00:54.36]But the stones turned precious when they all came out
[00:57.03]On a string of deep thought that could never be bought
[00:59.57]Body rock don't stop be bop to hip hop
[01:02.11]Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor
[01:04.84]What was left a shoestring budget on call
[01:07.26]Then these new styles came along
[01:09.44]Some on to the next on some other hit their own trip
[01:12.69]Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds dated
[01:15.56]Make you feel old and jaded
[01:17.42]The point was to make it and we made it but
[01:19.66]We didn't know how to keep it
[01:21.2]Like nice kicks that wouldn't fit
[01:23.07]Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up
[01:25.91]Store it underneath the bed and open it up
[01:28.3]Once in a blue moon
[01:30.03]Think about a cool ending
[01:31.51]To a story that ended too soon
[01:33.630005]Gotta bring back the feeling
[01:35.4]I'll do anything not to be stuck on fiending
[01:38.33]A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient
[01:41.06]To an open heart it's a daily operation
[01:43.6]After six come seven and eight
[01:46.06]Access code to the pearly gates
[01:48.44]They say heaven can wait
[01:49.84]And you speak of fate
[01:51.020004]A finale to a play for my mate
[01:54.35]I see the angels draw the drapes
[01:56.68]Over the earthscape
[01:57.41]Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
[01:59.740005]Gotta finish what we started so I cut the tape
[02:02.23]As our records will stay on rotate
[02:25.69]You say a circle is a flawless shape
[02:27.69]Every part equi-distance from the center
[02:29.67]On the arc without a start or a finish
[02:31.72]A line on a loop carries weight
[02:33.45]A freight train runs unabated
[02:35.57]Views vanish from my point vantage
[02:37.48]Passages come in and out
[02:38.97]The way I recall your antics
[02:41.49]Still alive 'cause I said it
[02:42.94]A life of it's own unless we dead it
[02:44.94]Till they see our name in credits
[02:46.72]A labor of love you mean slavery
[02:49.32]Surely it's been quite savory
[02:51.72]Crepe on the balcony verbal alchemy
[02:54.47]Pure magic when she touches me
[02:56.43]I read that love is kind but
[02:58.54001]It's also blind of any style
[03:00.28]You profess would you be my guest
[03:02.17]Happiness is a hot potato that you can't possess for long
[03:05.82]Just pass it on like asong
[03:07.52]And I might look calm and collected at a glance
[03:10.2]But I taste the void when I'm not connected
[03:12.64]To the world kinetic as opposed to static
[03:15.37]Idle hands a workshop of a digital addict
[03:18.47]On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed
[03:21.28]The mind in need of stimulation
[03:23.56]Elevator music to the space station
[03:25.74]Penthouse of stars a-blazing
[03:28.07]After six come seven and eight
[03:30.81]Access code to the pearly gates
[03:32.83]They say heaven can wait
[03:34.14]And you speak of fate
[03:35.61]A finale to a play for my mate
[03:38.53]I see the angels draw the drapes
[03:40.83]Over the earthscape
[03:42.04001]Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
[03:44.03]Gotta finish what we started so I cut this tape
[03:46.57]As our records will stay on rotate
