House of Dreams lyrics

Nas


[Verse 1: Eso]
Yeah, yo
Every letter is love, and every word's an oasis
Tryna reach new heights like a bird in a spaceship
And you're damn right, we been workin' the late shift
Tryna see how far on planet Earth we can take it
This is poetry in motion, the mystery of why
Every motor is in motion, and it's visually divine
On a roll like Timmy, and they're stuck in bad traffic
So when I rock it, the bottom looks like Buckingham Palace (Woo!)
I feel f*ckin' fantastic, a Viking with the rhyme
That lightnin' in the sky mixed with Tyson in his prime
I tell it how it is, and they got nothin' to say
I tell the haters I love 'em, just to f*ck with their brain
Duck, I'm insane (Hahaha), my flow's like a swordfish
This is one hundred percent straight-up uncut raw sh*t
I can't be bamboozled, that's faker than a dollar sign
Beat me in their dreams and they wake up and apologise
Non-believers, tryna p*ss in my boots
Don't they know they'll have to fly just to fit in my shoes
Got the world in my palm and my feet on the dash
So let them b*tch and wish I wasn't the reason they rapped
sh*t (Haha), I'm tryna write a song with insight
So look past the mask, there's diamonds on the inside
We're unplugged and blessin' you with magic
Our drift is in the air, but the question's, can you catch it?
[Chorus: Bliss, Eso & Kirsten Te Rito]
And it is
Love that can set you free
Watchin' the sun
Settin' on the sea
And it can lift me above
The highest mountain peak
And now I see (Say what?)
Live from my balcony (Yeah)
Welcome to my house of dreams

[Verse 2: Bliss]
Kind of comic
How a kid from D.C. would marvel at his superheroes
Draining his Walkman battery juice to zero
A teen with a dream, and since the whole start, I've
Been like Quentin, plotting from the video archives
So I direct my film like Jack Sparrow's Compass
Cut sick, shooting like a black-barrelled gunship
Just like when the rain and thunder hits the planet
Dreamt once in the clouds, now the mothership has landed
God damn, it's spectacular, lock it up and load
With that flip of the tongue and hit of the drum, rock and f*cking roll, yeah
I spark an idea, ignited from my balls
Add it to the ninety-nine bottles of lightning on my wall, in a
Boat of hope on an ocean where the sharks live
Spitting fireflies to paint my poems in the darkness
Connectivity is in my stare, sh*t
Electricity is in the air
So throw your islands in the sky if you feel the vibe
Hip-hop is still alive every time we fly and when I
Find a line, like a rope, I can use it
To lift me out the sea of disposable music
Which can't touch my soul 'cause that dog sh*t smells
I wanna be taken away like a cosmic spell
So no need to show me the money of bomb hit sales
'Cause this song gives me the quan just like Rod Tidwell, and so
[Interlude]
No, wait, wait, wait
Just, just let me enjoy this for a minute

[Chorus (Extended): Bliss, Eso & Kirsten Te Rito]
And it is
Love that can set you free
Watchin' the sun
Settin' on the sea
And it can lift me above
The highest mountain peak
And now I see
Live from my balcony
Welcome to my house of dreams
It is
Love that can set you free
Watchin' the sun
Settin' on the sea
And it can lift me above
The highest mountain peak
And now I see (Say what?)
Live from my balcony (Yeah)
Welcome to my house of dreams

[Scratches: Turntablism]
"It ain't no shame in our game, we do our thing, son"
"Bliss n Eso roll like brothers from other mothers"
"It ain't no shame in our ga-ga-game
We do out thing, son"
"Bliss n Eso roll like br-br-brothers
From other mothers"
"It ain't no shame in our ga-ga-game
We do out thing son-son-son"
