Blue Scholars – The Inkwell Lyrics 15 years ago
Float On Remix lyrics:

Yo, you ever look up at the sky at night, man, and think to yourself I really wish someone would flip, like, a local rock track, on some beats, rhymes, and life.
What up, y’all
Ya better move when the beat drops
We’re gonna take it back home with the rhythm of a beat box
From the roofs to the treetops we been rockin’ since Footlocker 20 dollar Reeboks

In a city that’s been waiting to blow since big butts and team spirit
Many make music , few hear it, secluded in the upper left dominantly grey-shaded sky
Every other day, sorta like the bay
Just a little bit wetter And cold in the winter
Proximity to water make the soul a little gentler
Out of towners don’t be knowin about the best-kepts
Ain’t nothing better than the summer in the northwest
Microphone check 1-206
Through the smoke, who da smoke, can I get a quick fix
To lift this eye to the level of needle in the sky
overlooking the sound against the shores of the suicide capital
Bust the magical, dust grammatically, just the satellite
What makes seattle tight?
The fruits of this ripe in spite of all the bull,
And last second changes of plans like audibles
And prodigal sons, whose motto is run whenever possible
Watch Mr officer shoot before he aims
And claims self-defense in the name of the citizenry
Spd’s spread the city like an STD
I’m rollin’ rainier bumpin lets get free
While the people sleep, I must speak till they wake
Let me push my pen to create
Beat, rhymes, and life
Each time I write the fire ignites
I light the sky
There’s an infinite inkwell high above the city
Dip the pen steadily, sing the melody
Beat, rhymes, and life
Each time I write the fire ignites
I light the sky
There’s an infinite inkwell high above the city
Dip the pen steadily, sing the melody

They paved rock candy the young was done
No place to go if you’re under 21
So Mark wrote an article, folks started gatherin’
All ages shows at the Paradox is happening
Back then Sam was second in command
He epitomized the definition of a fan
Ran into Padre, Matt, and Butter Ben
Benny Blanco, High Noon, and other Ben
Homo was Jason, we made just enough fence from the last show just to fund the next one
Brainstorm a mad crew, to make a brand new avenue for the battle with the youth to ensue
Introduced to the truth of an organized mass, consequently started skippin’ more class
Listen, passing out flyers on the Ave, and that’s when me and Sabzi hit the lab
Devon had dreads, Sean had glasses, learn a couple lessons while building with black anger
Put up into practice all that I was told back when the scene had both peace and soul
Was all about the local compilations for fourteen fathoms swapping rotation
Peace and Kareem was sneaking again, when I was 19 Pete hit the scene from within
Backstage creeping with a pad and a pen, then Larry dropped his philosophy in print
Shed a little light , (?) slept on instead, moved to the Beacon, south side represent
You are now witnessing a city on the verge, connected by the energy of these three words
You are now witnessing a city on the verge, connected by the energy of three words

Beats, rhymes and life
Each time I write the fire ignites
I light the sky
There’s an infinite inkwell high above the city
Dip the pen steadily, sing the melody (repeat x2)’
Float on, Float on
Float on, Float on
