Eyedea was one of my mother’s close friends, I have tons of stories about him :) he even tagged the wall in her old closet which is mine now. I never knew him but I feel like I do. Him and my mother had many of the same struggles.

So now we're all walking down the same road In the same pair of shoes ready to get back home!
Would you happen to know everyone's verse on "Play Dead till they kill you"? I believe I know where Kristoff's is but he sounds like he's in another part of the song too. The person who says "I'm special mom says so, I understand you can't lead somebody where you've never been"
My dad's memorial service was yesterday, I got clean for the last time in March of this year, quit methadone (160) and Fetty cold turkey, almost died and came back home to live with my family. My dad passed away and I was clean... That means more to me than anything in the entire world.
So you been clean for like a year? I'm so sorry about yer dad geoblastoma (brain cancer) took mine I have a slight problem w fet not a slight problem but yea....how do you not want to like literally die every fucking day staying clean I left my bf of 8 years last xmas lasted 3 weeks started cutting myself starving myself I just am not that strong n ran back like a lil bitch sorry for the long ass mesg I jus I am so scared of myself, the monster I will turn into without dulling my pain but that makes me very happy to hear my dude :) please don't stop for me
Hip hop isn't worth shit without the passion and lyrics coming from the heart. That's why it's such an empty, exploited, shallow practice nowadays. This song is art, this is what hip hop was meant to represent and be for. *sigh*
There’s a lot of great hip hop being made even today. Even some of those trap rappers make true art. The radio just sucks and promotes weak music, but that’s always been true in any genre. If you seek it, you will find it!
You took a breath and gave power to powder, the life leaving your eyes looks like a fish pulled out the water.. fuckin eyedea, pure gold.. rip you are truly misses
You ever just...really wish you could’ve met someone just once...eyedea has literally saved my life time and time again. Y’all are never alone in this world remember that shit...
Kristoff Krane (chorus) = Exhale by Kristoff Krane Sadistik, 2nd Verse = City In Amber by Sadistik 4th verse by Eyedea, I can't really place what song this is from at the moment.. but I know I've heard it. Maybe from one of his many free-styles, or Oliver Hart album. 5th verse Kristoff Krane = Exhale by Kristoff Krane Every line in this song (to my knowledge) is from another song. Seems to be a medley. Hope you guys enjoy it.
+Alan Wayne +James Lee yes. we recorded it all that night on tour. Cas, Mikey, and I wrote our verses on the spot. Kristoff and Sadistik ended up using their lyrics on other songs.
"I look like i learned how to die when I fake like i'm alive just to feel. You took a breath and gave power to powder now life's leaving your eyes looks like a fish pulled out the water it might be in disguise as a highest second try or your perfect bliss but don't lie to yourself it's death your crawling towards"
Been rewinding this shit for at least 5 years. So long I can’t remember where I got it. Never seems to grow old. “I remember when a record was something you played every day for 8 months straight”-brother Ali Yeah... that.
that changes the whole scene, back breakin and no brain, you call it a lack of sleep, i call it God's coke, cane sugar im eye to eye with what you're lookin for, street smart, poisoned as a bookworm, i took turns trying to heal, i look like i learned how to die when i fake a couple lies just to feel, you took a breath and gave power to powder, now life's leaving your eyes, looks like a fish pulled out the water, it might be in disguise as i high a second try, or your perfect lips but dont lie to yourself, its death youre crawling towards, fall apart, my windows are our walls and doors, it always seems simple when its wearing the mask of "small chore", I'll force me on to me again, from sea to shining sea I'll always drown in salt to keep my friends, weekends end and morning sick leaves my skin, I've always been bored with what was happening since i was kid, can you dig? you get the same off every hit but you keep the lighter till the hunger pangs defeat your fix.
Did anyone catch the reference to Sadistik's song Chemical Burns in which Eyedea made his last appearance? He said "Im a good dad but better sister", in chemical burns Eydea said "Im a good boy but Im a better girl"
@@HenryFlamez there are many people with gender dysphoria that aren't attracted to the same sex. Bruce Jenner, and the lead singer from Against Me come to mind. It may even be the majority aren't gay, they just think of themselves as the opposite sex.
Eyedea is still one of my favourite rappers, 2021 and i miss that bloke like he was a brother.. even tho ive never even been in the same country as him. Rip u rap god. Wish there was more of his songs available u just cant get enough of mikey "oliver hart" larsen
Dude,Eyedea left a helluva grip of work here on earth for us. He guest appeared on a ton of tracks,all his battle raps,Eyedea&Abilities joints,Oliver Hart joints,radio appearances,beat tapes,Atmosphere joints,live show bootlegs,etc..one of the best compliments to any artist is that they were PROLIFIC,and Eyedea was that and then some. I'm sure his mom has a pile of notebooks 3 feet high. Proud Minnesotan,hip hop slave,All City Crew aerosol artist and an active champion of Eyedea, Atmosphere and Rhymesayers Entertainment 'till death. Midwest puttin' 'em to the test and coming through the corn with scorn that leaves the best m.c's torn.
I wish Eyedea understood what he meant to a lot of people"personally" and what he meant to hip hop,he was truly amazing! Thank you for sharing your life with us ,Rest in Peace!
Sucks Mike struggled with insomnia, "genius by day, junkie by night" ultimately leading to his death.. There's almost a reference to it in every song, in this one he says 'You call it a lack of sleep, I call it God's coke.." R.I.P my dude, St. Paul remembers
@@N8DulcimerOld nah he actually died after being awake for 3 days on prescription opiates and booze. The insomnia is still real and contributed to his death alongside his opiod addiction issues. And his insomnia was a factor on his addiction an shared a common link.
3:34 That changes the whole scene, back breaking and no brain You call it a lack of sleep, I call it God's coke- Caine sugar, I'm eye to eye with what you're looking for Street smart, poison as a book worm I took turns trying to heal I look like I learned how to die when I faked a couple lies just to feel You took a breath and give power to powder Now life leaving your eyes looks like a fish pulled out the water It might be in disguise as the highest I can try Or your perfect lips, but don't lie to yourself if death ain't crawling towards Fall apart, my windows are all walls and doors It always seems simple when it's wearing the mask of a small chore I'll force me onto me again From sea to shining sea, I'll always drown in salt to keep my friends Weekends end and morning sick leaves my skin I've always been bored with what was happening since I was a kid Can you dig? You get the same off every hit But you keep the lighter to your hunger pains to feed your fix
before i discovered Eyedea i listened to rock and metal and when i discovered Eyedea my mind was blown away how good this Rap is and what more good genre's is out there i m a huge Eyedea fan now and i enjoy his music the only thing that bothers me a bit is that this multitalented Legend Passed Away too soon :/ but we would always listen to his music like he is Never gone
Eyedea, Kristoff Krane, AND Sadistik in one song? Incredible. Those three should of been in a supergroup together! I remembered when they dropped this for a tour they were all on together, still revisit this in 2022. R EYE P his verse in this song is incredible supposedly he wrote it really quickly too haha what a monster
Such a great man... I have no clue why God took him... maybe because the good die young. Rest In Heaven Eyedea, Oliver Hart or Michael Larsen... We love you.. You will always be remembered in hip hop.
Can you dig? you get the same off every hit. but you keep the lighter on until your hunger pains to feed your fix. These lines hit hard , if you know what I mean.
What a song to find early hours when sleep evades Now I don't even want to sleep, just listen to more. Listening to Old Eyedea freestyles got me appreciating pure talent at lonely times
I wish Eyedea was still Alive we need his Music and philosophy now more than ever My music journey is from Scooter , Alice Cooper , Motley Crue , and now Eyedea . My mind is opened to the mystery of the universe
Chris Wise subs are just as bad, not trying to hate. 4months off 5yrs 36 mg daily from 3-5point smack doses, 24mg silly doses clearing 3-400mg roxi daily to feel nothing beyond not sick. Subs done... equally a detriment down the like. Red vein Kratom has helped in getting out of this nightmare but won’t bother misplacing trust till this is over or I’m dead...
Chris Wise suboxone for me was a spiraling safety net that drew my heroin relapses higher and higher until I was shooting half grams of fent laced high purity tar and qgs of carbofent laced tar waking up on floors to terrified friends, waking up in running vehicles to confused drivers. I by all means of aspect should be dead more times than I have fingers. I see people oding, dying or nodded out on the streets weekly to monthly and share in my network to let people know just how Srs shit has gotten. I’m glad that your suboxone treatment has been a sucess. So has my wife’s. I wake up dopesick daily before my red horn kratom dosed kicks in and prepare her daily suboxone dose for boofing. I wake up sick daily and hold the “cure” in my hands rip the strip in half and prep it to liquid form, Taste the bitter orange drops on my fingertips. But I refuse to let it break me. Going back is certainly death as I know my people regent test for purity AND fent analogues. I’m not here to diss your sucess, just saying that isn’t the route that works for all of us. Honestly I’m proud of you. Very proud that your making the choices it takes to kick opiates. People try to compare this addiction with other drugs but in reality they all compare to a high dose physical opiate dependency. And believe me I’ve tried virtually every drug you’ve know and never heard of for great lengths of time. Just gonna day that kratom for me, much like cannabis, was about finding the right strain and supplier. In the end I saw friends clean 4+ years off smack, subs, done and had to accept that my schepticism was questionable and they may be right. Cheers
Someone in ghos comment section pls help me out i have been listening to eyedea since i was 14 i am 17 now n i cant find this on spotify is it on there ifso can u reply with the link it would be so much appreciated and as alwar R.EYE.P

all the time bud. Eyedea/Sadistik are always in my rotation.
We still here
I discovered this track only 3 months ago but yeah
I’m actually listening to this over a decade before it came out :/
I love everyone who listened to this song

Ryan No Thanks I just happened to find him after he died and didn't even know until a month after
dopeness...
if your reading this you have taste
You know it dawg. Keep it always. Keep yourself sane on the long days through the music
"Either the worst gets the best of me, or the rest of me gets better first" I felt that in my soul man
Verse 1: Cas One]
This one's for the vices, the advice I never took
Those stairways I mistook for pages in my notebook
Those old cold looks that grab ahold of soul and shook
Hold my head up while I hold your hand and write my book
Oh look, that crooked little window got some blinds
I never pull em down though, they see straight inside
It's like we changed minds, still stand in the middle
Don't know how I keep it, I used to keep it always
Touch hands with ghosts and still walk through these hallways
Keep myself sane with the music on the long days
Seasons still change, I keep a piece of them always
Faces rearrange, they just memories in a crawlspace
They wanna walk the shoes but never learned to tie the lace
[Hook: Kristoff Krane]
Although beauty's all around me
It's so easy to feel like I'm still drowning
Hey, set sail for the shore now Dead nails
Bet we could learn another lesson if we exhale!
[Verse 2: Sadistik]
They say the dead never speak, maybe I don't listen
To the sweet nothings in the crazy world I live in
I'm in a flush grey Seattle on Monday, as the sun rays chase the shadows up hills
With a child-like sentiment, catch me if you can it's a fight flight rhetoric
Dancing on command till the night's light's setting in
Fancy what you have, it's the zeitgeist yet again
In hindsight to find my cause of death I chased my dreams then I lost my breath - get it?
Am I clever with the words? Does it really really matter when you're entering a hearse?
Look, I'm alone in a coma from the methadone searching for a saint that was frozen in a bed of snow
And then I'll excavate the set of bones, easy come, easy go, better late than never though
Here we go again, we can call it my defeat when my tongue is in my cheek for a solid ninety weeks
Swallow pride and grief, it was all I really had, just so I can understand that is all that I can be
And from a bird's-eye view, sixteen shots and I'll earn my dues
Sixteen shots and the world I knew is a resting plot for the kerbside blues
I see a city trapped in amber full of all the joy and the misery that's captured
Bright lights emitting in a pattern by the fireflies like a symphony of lanterns
[Hook: Kristoff Krane]
[Verse 3: Bodi]
Time to hit the road again, to get your soul again
To lay the bricks, pave it all and make some golden skin
A little alchemist bones made aluminum
Castle nine clouds, dreams found a way to ruin 'em
Back to the basics, laugh with a facelift
Trapped in the glass seek a crack that'll make it
Fade into black before the demons attack
And it'll all fall down just to build it back up
Back to the wall as you crawl through the dust
That's love, that's trust, that's what you gotta do
When the only one to prove it to is you
And you love it but you hate it and you made it on it on your own
And wouldn't trade it for a thing until you're home
Inhale, exhale, prevail
Beauty all around even when we fail
My holy grail is an empty cup
But enough to keep me going so drink drink it up
[Verse 4: Eyedea]
That changes the whole scene, back breaking and no brain
You call it a lack of sleep, I call it God's coke-
Caine sugar, I'm eye to eye with what you're looking for
Street smart, poison as a book worm
I took turns trying to heal
I look like I learned how to die when I fake a couple lies just to feel
You took a breath and give power to powder
Now life leaving your eyes looks like a fish pulled out the water
It might be in disguise as the highest I can try
Or your perfect lips, but don't lie to yourself if death ain't crawling towards
Fall apart, my windows are all walls and doors
It always seems simple when it's wearing the mask of small chore
I'll force me onto me again
From sea to shining sea I'll always drown in salt to keep my friends
Weekends end and morning sick leaves my skin
I've always been good with what was happening since I was kid
Can you dig? You get the same off every hit
But you keep the light till your hunger pains to feed your fix
[Hook: Kristoff Krane]
[Verse 5: Kristoff Krane]
Give me the thumbs up, or middle finger
On a scale from one to ten
I'm a good dad but better sister
It's so hard for you to get the clue
Knowing your dream catcher
Will never catch the pitch you threw
If you knew better you prepare for the worst
Either the worst gets the best of me
Or the rest of me gets better first
It's all the same capillaries closes down
Crushing veins, the blood could never make it out
Catch the fairy with the feather in your cap
You gon pay a pretty penny for that pleasure in your lap
The cat purrs with the promise that acts
Like an actor who was always better in the past
You got a chip on your shoulder, so it's cold
Could have jumped hot springs, but instead waited for winter snow...
So now we're all walking down the same road
In the same pair of shoes ready to get back home!
U the mvp

I look like I learned how to die when I faked a couple lies just to feel
You took a breath and give power to powder
Now life leaving your eyes looks like a fish pulled out the water
It might be in disguise as the highest I can try
Or your perfect lips, but don't lie to yourself if death ain't crawling towards
Fall apart, my windows are all walls and doors
It always seems simple when it's wearing the mask of a small chore
I'll force me onto me again
From sea to shining sea, I'll always drown in salt to keep my friends
Weekends end and morning sick leaves my skin
I've always been bored with what was happening since I was a kid
Can you dig? You get the same off every hit
But you keep the lighter to your hunger pains to feed your fix
Ayy still here!!!
Thank you for listening.
Eyedea's R.I.P. amaing word play and quick spitting verses will always be missed, Practically a member of the 27'Club.
This song will never age..
masterpiece will listen to this my entire life
As em I this is something to show your kids
RIP eyedea - his lyrics resonate like he was speaking from my eyes. We lose all The greatest. Much love from NY
2020 still hits HARD.
RIP EYEDEA. YOU WILL BE IMMORTAL THROUGH YOUR MUSIC.
before i discovered Eyedea i listened to rock and metal and when i discovered Eyedea my mind was blown away how good this Rap is and what more good genre's is out there i m a huge Eyedea fan now and i enjoy his music the only thing that bothers me a bit is that this multitalented Legend Passed Away too soon :/ but we would always listen to his music like he is Never gone
Eyedea, Kristoff Krane, AND Sadistik in one song? Incredible. Those three should of been in a supergroup together! I remembered when they dropped this for a tour they were all on together, still revisit this in 2022.
R EYE P his verse in this song is incredible supposedly he wrote it really quickly too haha what a monster
Greatest MC to take the microphone. Gone too early.
Checking in. November 2020
R.I.P Eyedea
I always find this song over and over again. Real rap, RIP Eyedea
touch hands with ghosts that still walk through these hallways............
Thank you, my friend. I'm truly humbled.
Such a great man... I have no clue why God took him... maybe because the good die young.
Rest In Heaven Eyedea, Oliver Hart or Michael Larsen... We love you.. You will always be remembered in hip hop.
All true heroes die before the 30th
Can you dig? you get the same off every hit.
but you keep the lighter on until your hunger pains to feed your fix.
These lines hit hard , if you know what I mean.
2019 Still bumpin, love you eyedea! R!P
What a song to find early hours when sleep evades
Now I don't even want to sleep, just listen to more. Listening to Old Eyedea freestyles got me appreciating pure talent at lonely times
I wish Eyedea was still Alive we need his Music and philosophy now more than ever
My music journey is from Scooter , Alice Cooper , Motley Crue , and now Eyedea . My mind is opened to the mystery of the universe
I can’t tell if I’m extremely sad or extremely just not feeling anything lately so it feels good to listen to a song that gives me that same feeling
where has this song been all my life
That verse from Eyedea echoes so deep!
You keep the lighter till the hunger pains defeat your fix... Did I hear that right? Brilliance
You have problems ? You haven't yet been introduced to Eyedea and dem. All my regret, sore, guilt and anger are now gone.
"You call it a lack of sleep, I call it god's coke cane . . . "
... Sugar "
Seriously dope line
Anyone still listening 2020???

RIP EYEDEA ❤🙏
Still listening in 2019

"I am alone from the coma of the methadone searching for a saint that was frozen in a bed of stone"
***** bed of snow?
+William Leblanc Spent 4 years in the methadone coma. Nothing describes the shit that stuff does to you long term man. id never go back
William Leblanc Bed of Snowww
Chris Wise subs are just as bad, not trying to hate. 4months off 5yrs 36 mg daily from 3-5point smack doses, 24mg silly doses clearing 3-400mg roxi daily to feel nothing beyond not sick. Subs done... equally a detriment down the like. Red vein Kratom has helped in getting out of this nightmare but won’t bother misplacing trust till this is over or I’m dead...
Chris Wise suboxone for me was a spiraling safety net that drew my heroin relapses higher and higher until I was shooting half grams of fent laced high purity tar and qgs of carbofent laced tar waking up on floors to terrified friends, waking up in running vehicles to confused drivers. I by all means of aspect should be dead more times than I have fingers. I see people oding, dying or nodded out on the streets weekly to monthly and share in my network to let people know just how Srs shit has gotten. I’m glad that your suboxone treatment has been a sucess. So has my wife’s. I wake up dopesick daily before my red horn kratom dosed kicks in and prepare her daily suboxone dose for boofing. I wake up sick daily and hold the “cure” in my hands rip the strip in half and prep it to liquid form, Taste the bitter orange drops on my fingertips. But I refuse to let it break me. Going back is certainly death as I know my people regent test for purity AND fent analogues. I’m not here to diss your sucess, just saying that isn’t the route that works for all of us. Honestly I’m proud of you. Very proud that your making the choices it takes to kick opiates. People try to compare this addiction with other drugs but in reality they all compare to a high dose physical opiate dependency. And believe me I’ve tried virtually every drug you’ve know and never heard of for great lengths of time. Just gonna day that kratom for me, much like cannabis, was about finding the right strain and supplier. In the end I saw friends clean 4+ years off smack, subs, done and had to accept that my schepticism was questionable and they may be right. Cheers
Eyedea is clever as fuck. Respect to them all.

Spotify seems to very little of underground music. I doubt it has it. Try to look for help to get the song in the music app.
