It Runs Through Me
Tom Misch feat. De La Soul Lyrics

I love the way it flows
I love the smoothness of the music

I love the way it grows
I love how the music gets better as it progresses

There's something in this sound that takes me far
The sound of the music transports me to a different place

It's like a special song
The music is unique and special

Can move my mood along
The music has the ability to change my emotions

But I cannot say you'll hear through my guitar
I can't guarantee that others will appreciate my music

She told me add a bass line
Someone advised me to add more to the music to make it better

And everything will be alright
The person believes that the addition will fix the music

She told me that the groove is mine
Someone advised me to make the music my own

It will take us through the night
The music will last until the early hours of the morning

And where I'll go
I don't know where the music will take me

Can't explain I'll never know
I can't describe the feeling I get from this music

But it's beautiful
The music is extremely appealing

You can't take this away from me
No one can steal the connection I have with this music

The way I hit the melody
The way I play the music's melody is unique

The waves bring clarity
The music brings me clarity of mind

Running through me
The music is coursing through my body

I love the way it sings
I love the melodious nature of the music

All the joy that it brings
The music brings me lots of happiness

Remember skating down the road towards the park?
I recall a time where I was skating down the road listening to this music on my way to the park

I can never say no
I can't resist this music

You with that summer glow
You looked beautiful in the summer light

The music gives me sun when winter stars
The music makes me happy even during the cold winter months

The beat is mine
I have complete ownership of the rhythm of the music

It will rock us through the night
The music will keep us entertained throughout the night

Hey!
An exclamation of enthusiasm

Yo,
A greeting or attention grabber

I wear notes like coats
I carry musical notes with me like a coat

Blues like doos, war for the rhythm, soul that glues
I play blues music with soul and a strong rhythm that sticks together

That bounce to my bones, that jazz in my spine
The music is so good that it's like it's flowing through my bones

The hop is my home, rap is my grind
I come from a hip hop background and that's where my passion lies

I'm grindin' on the back side of life, we dance
I'm working hard in life, but we can still enjoy ourselves and dance to the music

She threw me a chance, my hands in my pants
Someone gave me an opportunity to play music and I was ready to go

Actually, my pockets holdin' me tight, whispering a dream I could hold in the night
I had an idea in my head that I was holding onto tightly and it was something I dreamed about at night

(Look tight) a rhythm that's throbbin' my veins
The music has a rhythm that's so good, it feels like it's pulsing through my veins

Wake up and write it on the pad, the pains
I woke up in the middle of the night and had to write down my creative idea to make sure I didn't forget it

Like church, the organ will invite the tears
The music has the power to evoke an emotional response like at a church service

(Like birth) the cryin' let you know I'm here
The music is like a birth in that it represents a new creation and the emotions expressed let others know that I'm present and feeling strongly

Held by the song that gave me a name
This song has special meaning to me and represents a part of my identity

Dressed by the verse that gave me a claim
I'm empowered by the lyrics in this song that give me a strong claim on my identity and my artform

(There's just base in the line) safe to inhale
The music has a good, solid foundation that's comfortable to expose oneself to

And if you live well
If you're fortunate and live life to the fullest

Then longer years in this state, you will be
You'll be happier and will live longer if you're exposed to good music

A timeless octave to play for the tree
Music is timeless and can be enjoyed by any generation

That's rooted in every single nerve in me
The music is an integral part of my being and affects me physically and emotionally

The nerve of he who ignores the key
Someone who doesn't pay attention to the importance of music is taking it for granted

And use it, it opens the minds that be free
Listening to and engaging with music can help expand one's mind and promote freedom of thought

Whenever you're hot-headed, pours you a breeze
If you're feeling overheated or angry, listening to music can help calm and soothe you

Beneath the clouds, you allowed to see in clarity, through harmony
Music can help you see things more clearly and feel more harmonious even in times of chaos

Someone harmin' me?
Asking if someone is trying to harm me

That won't be done
I won't let anyone harm me or bring me down

I stand protected by the laws of fun
My joy and love of this music keep me protected from negativity

I am perfected through the rhymes of run
I'm constantly improving and perfecting my craft through the music

Walkin' this way had the party stunned
My music and style is unique and memorable

This music, it launched me
This music helped me get ahead in life

With no aim, I've landed with some plane
I didn't have a set goal in mind, but I've still found success

Where I am I can't explain or ever know
I'm not sure where exactly my success has taken me or where it will continue to take me

But it's beautiful so
Regardless of everything else, the journey has been beautiful and worth it
