I Am Somebody
Bliss n Eso feat. Nas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now we're going to have a little music
Like old times
Straight out the gate
This is our story we're scripting
Our film, our glorious vision
Our sound, our score that is written
My my, how the tournament's risen
Shit, everybody wants to soar in an instant
Everybody wants to be the Lord of the Ring wins
We laid dormant and listened
Hit ignition
Tore up the system
Elevate, accelerate and demonstrate
Live the dream and keep the horns to the mission
The formula's mixing
To fire the engine up and bring the force to the pistons
Never say never
Whenever together we give and go with the flow flipping like Jordan and Pippen
Slam the points home
Insight a war to ignite the board
Wipe the floor with the notes that we write
And hold down with a mic to strike a chord
And then they can hear that thunder with the hooves
When we come with the hunger of the wolves
They were warned and the red flag flew
And his crewed cracked through
It's the running of the bulls
Today, we are together
Whenever we come together
The writers write
The cameras roll
Because together we got power
That's just it
I said ay yo, I'mma lay my tracks down
I'm that freight train tearing through the sky in the clouds
I said ay yo, watch this hail mary fly
Keep on runnin' keep on gunnin' with this fire in my eyes
And I'm sky high, I'm sky high
Yeah, welcome to the time of my life
I'm sky high, I'm sky high, yeah, welcome to the time of my life
Sun, rain, snow or hail, we never got lost in the storm
And you best to respect that you never really know what you've got 'til it's gone
And a monster was born, with a want to explore
Life's roughest weather, but we know the code so we stuck together, yeah
And as life unravels, my mind's what fights my battles
I rhyme like lightning travels, think quick, how you like them apples
'Cause I'm ready as I'll ever be, my head is in the melody, I'm flying now
Each feather is so heavenly, the energy of seven seas couldn't tie me down, bitch
So no fucking around dumb cunt, one jump and I'm up in the clouds
Trying to make that moment last, on a beat like Heath in a Joker mask
Which means, don' change that dial
Could've, would've, should've, just ain't our style
Shit, we got things to build
If your luck's low just know your wings are real
I said ay yo, I'mma lay my tracks down
I'm that freight train tearing through the sky in the clouds
I said ay yo, watch this hail mary fly
Keep on runnin' keep on gunnin' with this fire in my eyes
And I'm sky high, I'm sky high
Yeah, welcome to the time of my life
I'm sky high, I'm sky high, yeah, welcome to the time of my life
I'm so ill in my timeless timepiece
I keep a dime piece in arm's reach
Keep it 1000
From the housing projects I found my niche, you better find yours
I used to run with a lot of crime lords
Ramadan taught me use my mind more
Though I'm not religious
Nas y'all, just the realist
My imminent, conspicuous, synonym, sincere, rhyme and flow
Developed some images up in your mind bro
I survived continuing criminal enterprises that surrounded me
Innocent, no exaggeration
I don't pimp my past, I don't brag, no faking
My apartment had some break-ins
I'm thinking my past is worse than today is
That's when Biz Mark came with the vapors
It was anarchy, live in a heartbeat
Of the city that never sleeps
Niggas will gas you up to handle their beef
Peep game, you're dead if you don't think fast enough
We keeping it way street
I said ay yo, I'mma lay my tracks down
I'm that freight train tearing through the sky in the clouds
I said ay yo, watch this hail mary fly
Keep on runnin' keep on gunnin' with this fire in my eyes
And I'm sky high, I'm sky high
Yeah, welcome to the time of my life
I'm sky high, I'm sky high, yeah, welcome to the time of my life
And my god, I feel alright
And my god, I feel alright, hey
And my god, I feel alright
And my god, I feel alright, hey
I said ay yo, I'mma lay my tracks down
I'm that freight train tearing through the sky in the clouds
I said ay yo, watch this hail mary fly
Keep on runnin' keep on gunnin' with this fire in my eyes
And I'm sky high, I'm sky high
Yeah, welcome to the time of my life
I'm sky high, I'm sky high, yeah, welcome to the time of my life

You need to be quick and strategic in life
We keeping it way street
We're staying true to our roots
And my god, I feel alright
I feel great

Love the Aussies, that accent is a nice change from what you usually hear!
Good hip hop is good no matter where it comes from. Theres shit aussie hip hop and theres shit US hip hop.
If its clever, or gives you a little 'wow' moment when things are just tied so well, then who gives a crap!
All about the feels man, dont love everything Bliss n Eso do but when its good man its good!
And who cant love that violin and drums opening.
Auditory Injection
Total respect to Nas for taking the time to acknowledge Australian Hip Hop. Great track overall.

This is such an incredible song and a unbelievable music video. Bliss N Eso are true talent. Circus in the sky was a bloody beautiful album and running on air is just as good. It doesn't matter where their from or what kind of accents they have. Brilliant music shines through !

Except this was garbage
Astra Sbizzirri
Bliss N Eso = "Wizards of Words" and it aint about who is destroying who, its about supporting each other in their talent and showcasing each other in the industry. I've been following hip hop for many years and Bliss n Eso def raised the bar and has taken Aussie hip hop to a whole new level.
Shannon Paige
My cousin from Australia got me into Bliss n ESO and love it. I absolutely love hip hop so hearing Nas with them makes it even better
Sebastian Wh
This video along with these lyrics is truly amazing!
Stro TNJ
GOOD TO SEE NAS SWITCH HIS FLOW...LOVE IT!! CONGRATS TO BLISS AND ESO TOO U GUYS DID PRETTY GOOD!
K O
I'd see it more as Nas did pretty good. If you notice the lyricism and actual soul of the song are in the first two verses. Nas breaks in with "dime pieces" and "niggas"... don't know how to explain it, but the first two verses say something powerful, and the last verse sums up a career and single person. I like Nas, but that was a pretty empty verse.
jordan mcgregor
