"i chose the wrong path thats when me and Jesus parted, I kept walking and found myself in a pure darkness" 🙏🔥🙂↕️ that verse still hits like a tin of bricks even now 2024 😮
this was the first song i heard coming out of auckland womans hospital with my 1st born ...hes 19 now turning 20 years old ...wer in 2022 and i could still listen to this everyday ....never get sick of this ....the lyrics in this ...powerfull! and the harmonising comforts me💛
Haha I never thought of btnh crossroads, but yeah kind of when you think about it. I was in intermediate when this came out, way better than scribe. Scribe got more media coverage and fame cause he was maori. He was good tho I wont say I didn't like his music at the time.
One night I dreamed a dream. As I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my Lord. After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints. This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it. "Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me." He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."
Devolos verses have always resonated with me back then and now. “ I had a vision that Im twice seen I’m climbing outta quick sand pulled by some light beam”. Dawn Raid and U.P.R Legends
Damn very humbling and relatable, miss rap like this about struggle and fighting to live. Protect and love yourself and yours team. Bessings from me & mine 💯💙 REWA HARD LUCK
I was in intermediate when this came on the radio and i dubbed it onto tape so i could learn the lyrics. Seriously good NZ hiphop some of the first i remember, che fu, nesian mystic, king kapisi, these guys, then scribe, cant think of many after them dave dallas, kind of young sid but not really i mean jams they played on the radio and video clips they played on tv not really censored material.
Now, if I had a brick for every single thought that I have I'd build steps and migrate to God's land So while you succeed in this life I'd enjoy the fruits of my labour in the next life Of course life has to have its tragedies Reality elimination as it has to be So if that's the case I greet a farewell each day, each time I sleep I greet the ugly face of death with a frown and open arms Comforted by voices from the other side like Joan of Ark So embark on this chosen path Oh my God it's like I'm forced to fail Conjure up thoughts way too heavy for a normal scale Recite Bible verses when I battle my fallen angels My spirit blazed during an out of body experience And rests on cumulus clouds for brief periods [Verse 3: Alphrisk] I was born under the death stars My birth was made mysterious I poach the fallen arrows from the bows of Sagittarius I'm stuck, my luck's run out but I never mind I refuse to be that cargo being shipped to cloud nine My thoughts make me play with my reflection Thinking is that me in the holy mirror or is that just another dimension Food awaits before you climb stairs on the carpet Who endured the pains of the angels blowing the seven trumpets [Chorus] I see angels coming down for me And as they call my name They reach out for me
Its hard to know how you cant appreciate the music that was made. All artists fade but the art stays. I don’t disagree that it could have worked out better but saying they died is not accurate. If you think that there is any 4+ man rap group out there that stay together name them apart from wu tang clan, jurassic 5, and boys to men. You cant blame a country i don’t think. Dawn Raid and it artists were phenomenally popular. They peaked when Hip Hop and R and B peaked. When Hip Hop and R and B lost its grip on the charts the incomes stopped being number One two or three on the charts. New Zealands only guilty of being too small to sustain every genre as it gains and Wayne’s in popularity. I love the Dconz. They set a standard. Chur

One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."
Who was the poet? I have the poem at my place, but it says "By an unknown author"

Legendary Polynésian Hip-hop
Now, if I had a brick for every single thought that I have
I'd build steps and migrate to God's land
So while you succeed in this life
I'd enjoy the fruits of my labour in the next life
Of course life has to have its tragedies
Reality elimination as it has to be
So if that's the case
I greet a farewell each day, each time I sleep
I greet the ugly face of death with a frown and open arms
Comforted by voices from the other side like Joan of Ark
So embark on this chosen path
Oh my God it's like I'm forced to fail
Conjure up thoughts way too heavy for a normal scale
Recite Bible verses when I battle my fallen angels
My spirit blazed during an out of body experience
And rests on cumulus clouds for brief periods
[Verse 3: Alphrisk]
I was born under the death stars
My birth was made mysterious
I poach the fallen arrows from the bows of Sagittarius
I'm stuck, my luck's run out but I never mind
I refuse to be that cargo being shipped to cloud nine
My thoughts make me play with my reflection
Thinking is that me in the holy mirror or is that just another dimension
Food awaits before you climb stairs on the carpet
Who endured the pains of the angels blowing the seven trumpets
[Chorus]
I see angels coming down for me
And as they call my name
They reach out for me
Love and condolences go out to Uncle John & the Chong Nees.💯🎷🦢
Damn alfrisk bars 🔥🔥🔥
