800mEric's video: Blu Exile - Seasons video

A new video from Blu & Exile who made one of the best hip-hop albums of the past few years with Below The Heavens.The track "Seasons" samples Tom Waits rather liberally, which has me wondering if this is will end up on the cutting room floor once the album is completed. Nonetheless, it's a sedated, yet pleasant offering from the duo that delivered Below The Heavens. Keep watching after the song is over to see Blu take a hard fall on some black ice. For y'all who didn't know Blu one of my favorite emcees. Lyrics: (Can I .. Can I tell you the story? Uh, No guts no glory ... uh, yeah, self explanatory Seasons, you know what im saying? Check it out..) Can we transform, Revelations born from the madness, Ashes to ashes, no more classics Rap has become, so pornographic my life has become, something never imagined Passions pass, new feelings emerge Emotions flying in the sky with the birds Where's hope when we need it? quotes, they compete, get us higher than that dope that we chief, Where's focus when functions retreat to the soul, it's a black hole moguls, followin' them, Role models and bottles of belief keep swallowin', Drowning in the shallow and deep, told we can climb mountains of belief Where is peace when you need it? Visions of the meek, in the jungle and the humble as the sheep make you wonder why you speak when you're spoken to, feel something holding you back you wanna throw the truth, The lies fly, its like time, used to wonder what makes the wise, wise Had to visualize in surprises Nothing that them eyes have ever seen Hold up... Is this a dream? Sun blacked out after the last bout I hatched out all of my issues and poured a mag out, Crash though the glass house, some took the back route I had to travel lightspeed to dodge that black cloud, raining on my parade, sun shinin', but it ain't enough shade to hide, the game blind, I played, silly games and too many charades mask-less in this masquerade, came, conquered and never saw raising hell, hopin' heaven falls took the L, but I never lost steppin off the axis, balancing the galaxy, realizing facts are hidden behind reality casually I dress while adressing her majesty, flirtin' passably to other palaces surroundin me, once crowned king, humbled down to the queen, gave my kingdom up, became a mortal man, walking earth seeking love woe is me, bestowed belief, openly speakin' it, deviant in this woolen form of poetry, took leadership, raised sails just to coast the sea, obedient, never winning, hope its known to be me, Got free now they ropin your dreams, with a gold-chain, pimp-stripe suit and a codename sweater under leather, tryna tell her its cold game, that don't mean it won't change... seasons
