J Dilla & Slum Village's "Tainted" instrumental, my lyrics.
Poetry on a dope ass beat.
i've been writing for years but just startin to record my own stuff.
Story behind the song
First half of the verse was a poem I wrote for a ex. tha last part of the verse was more like a freestyle to that same ex. I was listenin to some Slum Village, and I just decided to put it all to that beat since it was soooo fitting.
Lyrics
You are beauty.
You are dark & deep.
You are true.
You are rare & sweet.
You are the breaking of dawn for those
Wandering in the dark. A ray of hope
For those who have forgotten
What it means to love and be loved.
A promise kept.
I know tomorrow isn't promised but
If I'm allowed today, with you,
Tomorrow needn't rush.
And while yesterday is only today's demise
I know I will be content within the gaze of your eyes,
The sweet warmth of your whisper,
And a passionate touch.
Damn, I wonder why I love you so much.
All of this, you are to me.
But you shall never know,
Because no longer do you long for me.
tryin to be defiant,
tryin to be tha bigger person,
I guess we both lonely giants.
Walkin in circles.
Inheritin tha earth, roamin endlessly
Until I find you in my arms again.
Until I find you in heart again,
These feelin's I'll be harborin.
Drowin my sorrows. Intoxicatin fears
manifest themselves eventually
as suffocatin tears.
My dear,
you shall never know..
that I was devestated
knowin' it was you, I tainted.
Tainted love.
