lirik lagu ichiban – it was
[intro: voice samples]
i’d always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die
first of all, that one second isn’t a second at all
it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time
for me, it was …
[verse 1: ichiban]
being a kid findin’ orion over the skyline
perfectly positioned at the right place at the right time
it was when wilson and i went seeking thrills in europe
via holland amsterdam lookin’ for some sh-t to stir up
it was the journeys that took me around the whole entire globe
many miles travelin’ trains planes automobiles and boats
it was the faces of forgotten friends that i fell out of touch with
images of all the women that i had once l-sted
it was the first crush, first kiss, first f-ck, first love
from the first relationship to the last break up
it was sneakin’ out of the house at night to meet up with a female
that certain smell of her room, recounting every detail
it was seeing my love for the first time at a small cafe
and rememberin’ the desire that i felt on that day
it was my whole life flashin’ before my eyes in one second
one more time to look back before death beckons

[verse 2: ichiban]
it was roamin’ the city spray paintin’ my name on the walls
and my p-ssed-off parents when the police station would call
it was my older brother visitin’ from ny in the summer
goin’ out lookin’ for action, care free when we were younger
it was movin’ from the inner city to the outer suburbs
dating cute girls, meeting crazy kids, and scr-ppin’ with the busters
it was reciting biggie’s “notorious thugs” verse by heart
trippin’ with [?] runnin’ through city park in the dark
it was bustin’ in a broke-down van on claremont street
at the same place deca lived when we were still young teens
it was the countless ciphers encountered along the travels
the first time i stepped up to the mic to handle a battle
it was performin’ on stage at venues packed to capacity
huge crowds full of strangers, friends, and family
it was my whole life flashin’ before my eyes in one second
one more time to look back before death beckons
[turntablism: dj tense]
[bridge: ichiban]
the grim reaper awaits, it’s too late to awaken
approachin’ the arrival to my final destination
replayin’ memories in an eternal dreamscape
it’s so surreal that everything seems fake
every forgotten splendor suddenly remembered
the broken pieces of the mind re-ssembled together
one last second that stretches like an ocean of time
a final look at my life before i leave it behind
every forgotten splendor suddenly remembered
the broken pieces of the mind re-ssembled together
one last second that stretches like an ocean of time
a final look at my life before i leave it behind
