Nujabes - Yes Lyrics






Life, dance, stay, free, we, live
And the beat goes

Life, dance, stay, free, we, live
And the beat goes

[Pase Rock:]
Make noise for the loved ones
Bang on the drums
Celebrate where you come from
Wake up in the morning its a blessing
Every day is a prayer
And you feel it right there, right here
But you want a little somethin' somethin'

Carry on til the evenin' is teethin'
Reach another day another search for the reason
And then the night bites in what it is
Learn how to dream enough to learn to live
Positive, affirmative, gotta make it happen like
There's an alternative now whose turn it is
Mine and I earn and give to stay permanent

Shock shock waves didn't hold your weight
Now you wanna change the clock but then it all stops
And we forget that, we wanna get back
To where we left off, a few steps off
You wanna get on, you gotta get right
Hold on sit tight, look at the dim light
Take a breath, ask yes with some insight
Say yes from your belly through your wind pipe

And now it feels like you probably should've been right
And it feels good, feels like you never left
Lil' young cat got that shit togetherness
Feel high like mount everest, forever fresh
So good, I think we want another yes
But know the facism and classism
Up to being passed like they never had rhythm
In the first place, worst case scenario
We'll be seein and hearin and now we're stereo

Same shit, different assholes flash the full
Capture cowboy, take away his lasso
We're goin forth to a new day our own way
This is high time, not what they say
They're playin' foul play, I'm playin' james brown
We're gonna find us the truth every day now
They only weigh out, lookin' for a way out
I just got here, and I'm stayin'... I'm just sayin'

And the beat goes

Life, love, dance, sing, no, war, stay, free, we, can, live, yes
And the beat goes

Life, love, dance, sing, no, war, stay, free, we, can, live, yes
And the beat goes

[Pase Rock:]
Yen, Euro, Dollar sign, wipe my soul
Try to keep the money all mine
All the numbers keepin' your health
I give some thought but my feelin' is felt
I can find out when this feelin' is felt
It's like that we don't gotta deal with needle in this feelin' itself
Inside when we're screamin' for help on the outside
Shinin' for the public, the DJ's love it
We're movin' with the cruise control, groove with the soul

It's new or it's old, if it's true then it's told
The negro spiritual ah-code sexual ode
204-9 area code, if it's good then it must be sold
That's what they say, but I'm still not sold
Still loyal to the rhythm and the melody
The beat and it's tellin' me, words that weigh heavily
Open my heart readily, good days they better be soon
Because I'm almost changin' my mind
(Yes)

And I'm almost changin' my blinds
Spent a lot of time seekin'to find
It's more about the truth and the treat
Not about the lyric or the beat
It's more about the lines fillin' the seats
People jump in band wagons and end up on cruises
Different ideas still might fall to confusion
I spent a lot of time losin', still in the game
Enough practice, still sharp with the aim
Teeter-totter never came to my side, still enjoyin' the ride

I put my weight down just the same
Fuck pride foes died so I can tell you my name
Just leave from my life, lil' yes not a baby in sight
Except maybe that I may be right (yes)
But the world shakes stayin up in dangerous heights
It had to come down twenty-nine flights
And when he wasn't dead, tell me what you think he said

Life, love, dance, sing, no, war, stay, free, we, can, live, yes
And the beat goes

Life, love, dance, sing, no, war, stay, free, we, can, live, yes
And the beat goes

    Alguien es peruvian?

    C.... R....

    Claro !

  2. A.... N....

    I miss Nujabes. That man is truly a Diamond and Diamonds shine forever.

  3. C.... V....

    Just found out about him about a couple of days ago and I can't get enough of his music. So sad that he's not here anymore to make more songs 😢

  4. J.... ....

    ‘Learn how to dream enough to learn to live’

    That’s a powerful line. I’m in my early 30s now and that line reminds me when I was only 10 years younger writing stories and drawing to make graphic novels. Now I’m only worried about the day to day. This song hits you in the soul to say no matter what you can live your life the way you want it to be, just put the time and work in with a bit of faith and you can live as freely as you wish.

    Getting back to my dreams to learn to live again. Thanks Pase for your words and thanks Nujabes for your soul. May you live forever through these beats.

  5. J.... L....

    One of my favorite nujabes songs.

  6. X.... ....

    damn....i havent heard this in years....got me feeling some type of way..

  7. m.... ....

    m.... ....

    Kleeer - Happy Me

  8. c.... c....

    Damn everything after "yen, euro, dollar sign," was amazing!

  9. J.... ....

    What i love the most from nujabes is when you listen his music you just have to feel, well is my opinion

    He had talent like no other artist. It's gonna be a while until someone can be compared to Nujabes.

    A man is only dead when he is forgotten.

    A third and final death

  17. M.... T....

    If someone a could post sheet music for piano I'd appreciate it. Might relearn how to play just to play this song

  18. H.... ....

    Beautiful.

  19. J.... S....

    i love nujabes and his beats but i think the amazing mc's not rappers like pase rock, cise star, shingo2, substantial . made me treasure the music alot as well , with their astonishing lyrics

    3:56 people hop on ban wagons and end up on cruises, i jump on ideas still might fall to confusion,

    J.... S....

    Agreed 100%. Nujabes knew how to bring out the best in any MC.

  20. l.... ....

    "I spend a lot of time losing but still in the game."

    This is a great summation of my life right now.

    l.... ....

    Just wanted to comment to see if your life has changed at all

    l.... ....

    Also wondering

  21. M.... H....

    "And the beat goes..."

    M.... H....

    Well, there really says "enemigos" what is something like "we are enemies" or just "enemies" but in spanish

    M.... H....

    And the beat goes.

  22. T.... D....

    I saved this to my Spotify, but it seems it's been removed.
    I hope somebody uploads it again.

    T.... D....

    Tree Daddy it's back again

  23. J.... P....

    Such harmony

    Rest in beats Jun Seba

  26. A.... M....

    I fucking love Nujabes

  27. T.... D....

    So Peaceful. Will Love this eternally.

  28. �.... ....

    ラッパーにとっては、とても難しいトラック。
    自立力が求められる。音程的に調和しすぎるのは有り得ないし。

    Pase Rockは、さいこうのMCだけど、
    この曲ではしっくりこなさ。てか、戸惑いを感じる。

    上手く言えないんだけど、

    水と油になるにしても、
    「単に分離してると水と油」と、
    「調和がとれた水と油」があるのではないか。

    なんて、なんかそんな風に考えた。

  29. T.... ....

    such an absolutely beautiful song, the beat, the lyrics, the album, everything about it

  30. N.... P....

    This album inspires me like no other.

  31. H.... ....

    Nice song, but the drums are messed up.. :/ Poor sound quality.. the rap is deep, though :>

    H.... ....

    poor sound quality? must be just you to be honest.

    H.... ....

    Hashkageen you're going def or something, check your hearing.

    H.... ....

    No, that's done on purpose actually. It's called "lo-fi" or low-fidelity.

    H.... ....

    Hashkageen I only agree with the with weird drum almost sounds like those big set up picture shoot cameras

  32. c.... w....

    why can't all rap music be like this? so genuine and heartfelt, beautiful, dreamy, freeing and untainted

    c.... w....

    I'm pretty sure the response to this is Think Different...

    c.... w....

    It would get repetitive very fast and people complain obviously.

    c.... w....

    because not everyones the same and expression doesnt have to be one thing.

    c.... w....

    Well, every artist is different, they produce different music for different people.

    c.... w....

    @Xcalibur64 Mostly for children

  33. A.... ....

    for some reason I always think of 9/11 when I hear this song. "But the world shakes stayin up in dangerous heights. It had to come down 29 flights and when he wasn't dead, tell me what you think he said"

  34. C.... ....

    ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°

  35. A.... W....

    we can live, yes...

  36. I.... B....

    buena canción

  37. T.... ....

    This is Nujabes heart and evereyone heart's!!!!!!

    Now that i see it written out, the way he did is name is really dope.

  49. D.... .....

    I really feel that this song could change a person. It comes towards me as a cleansing ocean, and pulls away all of my pain and hurt. And makes me feel that i'm free now, that I can decide to chase whatever I want now.

    D.... .....

    Futome The_Tanuki it changed me, I was listening to it during an incredible moment of enlightenment

    D.... .....

    Futome The_Tanuki i feel the same way.

    D.... .....

    I feel the very nature and core to this songs words and choice of instruments and how they are used is too well...
    Pull people from the darkest of their times.
    It sure as hell pulled me from my darkest moments in life, and now I praise this song as one of the best ever done in the world. It’s a masterpiece and a league above so many songs out there today.

  50. M.... W....

    Holy shit, this piano! xX

  51. H.... ....

    A perfect way to describe it... There's that moment when it just clicks - sudden understanding.

  52. m.... ....

    Food for the soul.
    Love, and peace, all in the sound...perfect.

  53. x.... ....

    Music that feeds the soul. Comprehensive music.
    Real music.
    Rare sound ... r.I.p Jun Seba

  54. P.... ....

    Why'd you have to go and make me sad like that..?

  55. C.... W....

    i love how it starts, and just sounds almost nonsensical, then all just falls into place and makes perfect sense.

  56. i.... ....

    Sublime

  57. A.... ....

    There is a soul in this music.

  58. t.... ....

    Already dead, and he's still making me feel like I'm truly alive.
    It was an honor and a pleasure, my good sir.

  59. J.... S....

    It kinda makes me wanna cry.

  62. r.... ....

    LOVE IT!

  63. D.... ....

    This is what I miss so much. I forgot how incredibly beautiful Nujabes used to make music. It's a shame I won't be able to hear anymore of his music but it was a pleasure, a joy, and a blessing to have discovered his music. Thank you for making things wonderful again Seba Jun. RIB ((d^_^b))
