Blackberries and Bike Rides Lyrics by Gradient

Blackberries and Bike Rides

2013

Never thought it would happen, but here it is
They never thought I was rappin’, but they hearin’ this
Miyazaki, man I’m way Spirited
And I don’t care about appearances
I’m here to be human
We all try to be the same, What are we doin?
Tabloids wanna know, who is she screwin’
But goddamn, I don’t give a fuck, man, keep the beat movin’
Drop all your worries and keep ‘em outta your psyche
‘Cause if you’re like me, you got a lot of shit weighing you down
But quit playin’ around when you hearin’ the sound of Gradient
Comin’ at you from your stereo now!
I been gone for a while, but I’m back at it
To my list of raps another track added
‘Cause I’m a fiend for the shit, like a crack addict
But I be feelin’ paranoid, call me Black Sabbath
My dad told me once
I would be a great man, like my daddy was
Humble? Well that he wasn’t
But he’s done a lot of good and backs up the persona
When my mama saw that I was way depressed
When my dad went to jail, it was crazy, yes
But there was nothing she could do
I had to make the best of situations that made me stressed
But I’m happy and I’m better than ever
And it’s a clever endeavor I’m In A Gadda Da Vida better bet I’m gonna body the beat up I’m hot and I’m never gonna let a competitor heat up, so pull a seat up
I’d be the first to say it, y’all
I need more than a verse to say it all
I kept y’all waitin’
Sacred Heart RiverBend, y’all got a lotta patients (patience)
But to the critics, man, I don’t wanna say shit
‘Cause some folks just gotta try to hate shit
I take bath salts and gobble on their faces
I be bumpin’ old Nirvana on a spaceship
Listening to Come As You Are, becoming one with the stars
And goin’ hard with my homies on Mars
But back home I’m seein’
That the Earth gets hot
And we gotta beat the Heat like the Spurs did not
Lookin’ in the mirror and I stare at the glass
And I’m proud of the man who be starin’ me back
I'm too honest to be wearin’ a mask
I probably ain’t like some rappers that you’d hear in the past
Who talk about all their wealth; blow it out of proportion
Like their garage is full; can’t fit the Porsche in
In my garage I got a guitar amp but I ain’t got a Boss pedal
No distortion
Just honesty, and honestly
I’ll try to give you everything that you wanna see
If y’all feel this realness hear this
The love that you show means a lot to me
I’m just a weird local kid tryna spit raps
And maybe get a little wicked with the syntax
But I’m finna go global fast
And if you fuck with me I don’t react like a noble gas
Wanna hear dumb raps from a white guy?
From a town real small, bite-size?
Then I’mma tell y'all the truth, no white lies
My whole city gets as high as a kite flies
We like to relax and take a night hike
Listening to Macklemore and Bright Eyes
We’re all friendly, you act scary, they might hide
‘Cause my life is blackberries and bike rides
