I wrote this rap as the title track to an EP I pressed as a gift to somebody on Valentine’s day 2017. It uses the instrumental from John Legend’s Bliss and I harmonize over the original chorus. It only exists on my phone, my computer and in the form of a single physical CD and nowhere else.
[Verse 1]
I'll befriend her
And take things real slow
The thoughts from the head of a 13 year old//
Fresh teen, I could've never ever seen what
Seemed to be the girl of my dreams'd be with me
What, nearly a decade later
So I thought it only right to put pen to paper
Or should I say fingers to phone
Working dem t'ings to the bone
Thinking of things I can come
Up with that will properly capture the
Feeling of when my heart beats faster
Another beginning was never what I was after
But to say that it came on the perfect
Day is an understatement
You made our first date in ways I could never portray and so I guess
This here is the ultimate test
A work I could consider by best
So, my Valentine, I'm giving you this
A track explaining why to me you are
[Hook]
Bliss
Like you've got the key to my heart
Simple as a touch and a kiss
Never knew a feeling like this
Pure bliss, pure bliss
Nobody can tear us apart
Baby it's as good as it gets
Loving you will never be hard
This is pure bliss
[Verse 2]
(I remember)
How I felt/When I first/Saw your face
That/ day in courts as well as our first date
My face went pale/you made my heart race
And when I saw those lips
All I could want is to taste
Nothing's changed but I can't help wondering what you'd choose me for
But let's keep this about you
And all the wonderful things you make a man wanna do
*tsk* Siren. Why've you got me tailing you like the pied piper?
I'm meant to be the musician. Spit for a girl on a rhythm?
Never thoug- but here I am
Open mouth, dripping saliva
You could say you have that effect in a couple of ways, look at you fawning for days uggh
Toots. Have you ever been told, you're as pretty as they come with a heart of gold
Of course you have
But if you can't understand
Why that's what I know in my head
Whenever I'm holding your hand
Just ask yourself why
I got out of bed at 5 in the morn
Just To work on this very song and
Come back to spoon you in bed, see you soon
[Hook]
Bliss
Like you've got the key to my heart
Simple as a touch and a kiss
Never knew a feeling like this
Pure bliss, pure bliss
Nobody can tear us apart
Baby you're as good as it gets
Loving you will never be hard
This is pure bliss
