LYRICS :
[Verse 1:]
Light As A Feather
When I'm Floatin Through
Readin Through The Daily News
Measuring The Hurt Within The Golden Rule,
Centimetres Of Ether I'm Heatin The Speaker
Motivational Teacher With Words That Burn People
Seeing The Headlines Lined With Discord
It's Either Genocide, All The Planet In Uproar
Never Good But Rules Of Paradise Are Never Nice
The Best Laid Plan Of Mice And Men Are Never Right
I'm Just A Vagabond With Flowers For Algernon
The Average Joe Who Knows What The Fuck Is Goin On
It's The Hope Of My Thoughts That I Travelled Upon
Fly Like An Arrow Of God Until I'm Gone
[Chorus:]
So I'm Driftin Away Like A Feather In Air
Lettin My Words Take Me Away From The Hurt And Despair
So I'm Keepin It Vertical Forever Elevator
Ridin The Escalator To The Somethin That Is Greater
So I'm Driftin Away Like A Feather In Air
Lettin My Soul Take Me Away From The Hurt And Despair
So I'm Keepin It Vertical Forever Elevator
Ridin The Escalator To The Somethin That Is Greater
[Verse 2:]
Taking Chances
Word Tap Dancing With Wolves
In An Ice Arena Out There, Deep In The Woods Of Arizona
The Sun Be High, Life's Ironic
Aint Tryin To Be Talib When I Write
Surreal Life I Paint It Vivid Habitat Crazy Insane
Watch The Propaganda 6 O'clock News That Are Saying
Cultures Clash For Black Folk And White Trash
They Revel In The Cyberspace That Might Crash
Dash To Millineum A Million Miles Of Runnin
At The Speed Of Now Back Don't Return Gunnin
Rambo Style Gunho Child Gunnin
Ammo Blao Two Times Loud Stunnin
Stunnin When I Hit Ya Lift You Off The Earth Like
Ayo Take You Right Back To Birth
And Niggaz Wonder Why They Might Wonder Why
This Shit Might Happen But It Does, They Go
[Chorus:]
Driftin Away Like A Feather In Air
Lettin My Words Take Me Away From The Hurt And Despair
So I'm Keepin It Vertical Forever Elevator
Ridin The Escalator To The Somethin That Is Greater
So I'm Driftin Away Like A Feather In Air
Lettin My Soul Take Me Away From The Hurt And Despair
So I'm Keepin It Vertical Forever Elevator
Ridin The Escalator To The Somethin That Is Greater
[Verse 3:]
Treat You Better Than Me
Because That's The Heavenly Key
To Unlock The Inner Strength
Where My Essence Will Be
It's The Knowledge Of Self
Understanding Of The Things Around Me
That Becomes The Wisdom That I Need
Living This Life To The Best Of My Ability
Channelling Energy To My Thoughts Into Your Symmetry
Remember Me Because My Clothes Remain Gold
I Got The Gift Of Gab Like Them Pimps In Kangols
It Never Ends I Keep It Rulin Like A Cypher
The First Caveman Bringin Fire
Innovating And Higher To Blast Mistakes I Raise The Stakes
It's Double Or Nothing In This Vaccuum-Less Space
I Will Survive,Divine The Time To Cry Fuck A Hold Or Hide I'm Alive With Pride
And I Drove The Chevy To The Levy
But The Levy Was Dry Singin "This Will Be The Day That I Die"
The title and the lyrics of this song always remind me of my grandad. He died in 2019. When I was a kid of about 8 or 9, I used to sit on a stool by the window in my grandparents' home, while my granddad stood beside me with binoculars, spotting birds for me to look at by the baths he'd put out to attract them. He and I would just sit there for awhile, and bond while we'd watch the birds make nests, take baths, and play together. I live far from where he grew up, but to this day I keep little birdfeeders on my apartment windows, and when I see them take flight, I always think about him, and this song hits me because the lyrics are about taking flight and ascending higher, just like he did, and just like I one day will. At least he didn't have to watch Covid happen in his twilight years.
Nujabes isn't dead, Just hit play.
i can't express how often i come back to this song, its like a breath of fresh air every time.
The fact that J Dilla and Nujabes were born on the same day is just incredible
anyone come here after watching nigahiga's video?
I'm honestly surprised that Nujabes didn't become a household name. His music was (and still is) catchy and memorable I know that many youtubers and musicians such as The Super Best Friends, Maxmoefoe, Joji (aka filthy frank) Sky (the league player) Dunkey (I think) and MMOxMXR ( I think that's how you spell it, that one mod review guy) use and like his work. But I would love for someone to make more music like this and pick up where he left off and popularize the style. Joji used to make the same kinda rainy day beat feel that I associated with Nujabes but he's sorta left that behind in order to focus on what his fans want (which is something I can respect) but I just really think that this style and feel could have a lot of untapped potential.
nujabes died, because god needed a dope ass dj, for putting vibes on in heaven
Today marks 10 years since his passing. RIP
Thought "I haven't listened to nujabes in awhile," turned this on and now I'm really sad.
FROM HOSEOK
My father just passed away 2 days ago because of Covid-19, 3 months after my grand mother because of the same virus. This song just randomly played on the radio this morning and I instantly cried.. That's the first message from my dad, rest in Peace and say hi to Nujabes for me please..
if you all like this kinda stuff then you guys should give these a listen to as well;
I really wish people would credit Cise right in the title, he deserves more exposure. Dude is one of the realest rappers in the game, no fluff, just poetry.
This world is falling apart within itself and all I can do is recite this song and do what I can to help who I can. If anyone reads this, please stay strong, keep fighting, be kind, help someone. We have to restore peace and balance to this world.
Nujabes was a true artist. Definitely one of the greatest of this generation, but sadly he was so underrated. RIP Nu.
"I'm pouring my heart out in everything written." -Nujabes
あと30minで命日。
We were given both Nujabes and J DIlla on the same day, and we would lose them both in the same month.
I'd like to thank Samurai Champloo for introducing me to Nujabes :)
Love that reference to "Of Mice & Men" and the comparison to how our best plans never work out. Just like George and Lenny were going to get a little place, live off the fat of the land and feed the rabbits. It all went south pretty quickly for them. The reference to "Flowers for Algernon" is another great one. The word play and lyrical content is masterful.
