[Verse 1]
Romaji: 
Nando mo ochita — fukai yami no soko 
Yume ga tookute — te ga todokan hodo 
Tomo wa kiete — kazoku wa naita 
Demo kono kokoro dake wa — mada moeteta
Saifu wa kara demo — me wa nigorazu 
Ashita wo shinjite — kabe wo keridasu 
Kibou no hi wa chiisai — demo kienai 
Ame no naka demo — ore wa utaitai

English Translation:
 I fell so many times — into deep darkness 
My dreams were far — out of reach 
Friends disappeared — my family cried 
But only my heart — kept burning
My wallet was empty — but my eyes stayed clear 
Believing in tomorrow — I kicked through the walls 
The flame of hope was small — but it wouldn’t die 
Even in the rain — I still wanted to sing

[Hook / Chorus]
Romaji: 
Kansha no mukougawa ni ore wa iru 
Namida no umi — oyogikitta saki ni 
Subete no itami — ima no tsuyosa 
Arigatou, ore wo sutenakatta ashita
Kansha no mukougawa de mita hikari 
Kuzureta hibi — demo tachiagari 
Zetsubou no naka — saita hana 
Kore ga ore no sutoorii, ima ni ikiteru akashi

English Translation: 
On the other side of gratitude, that’s where I stand 
Beyond the sea of tears — I swam through it all 
Every pain — became my strength 
Thank you, tomorrow, for not giving up on me
I saw a light beyond the pain and thanks 
Broken days — but I stood up again 
A flower bloomed — inside despair 
This is my story, proof that I’m still alive

[Verse 2]
Romaji: 
Kako wa kesenee — demo seotte susumu 
Basei to uso de dekita kono suutsu 
Kuenai yoru — tsumetai yuka no ue 
Soredemo yume wa shinde kurenakatta ne
Rappu ga ore no sukui — fude ga ken 
Kotoba ga michi wo kirihiraku sensen 
Kami janakute — kono inochi ni kaketa 
Kiseki janai, kore wa eranda kekka
Kodoku to kurayami, ore no shinseki
Demo nakama janai, ima wa chikara teki
"Ore wa dame da" tte iu koe wo kieta
Kowareteta ore mo, ima wa chotto suteki

English Translation: 
The past can’t be erased — but I carry it and walk 
This suit made of insults and lies 
Nights I couldn’t eat — floors cold like ice 
Even so, my dream refused to die
Rap was my salvation — my pen, a sword 
My words carved a frontline through it all I didn’t bet on God — I bet on this life 
This isn’t a miracle, it’s the result I chose
Loneliness and darkness — they were like family
But they’re not my allies now — now I hold the power
That voice saying “You’re worthless” — I silenced it
The walls that broke me — now I’ve endured them

[Hook: Repeat]

[Bridge]
Romaji: 
Kazoekirenai yoru wo koeta 
Aisuru hito ga sora ni natta 
Soredemo ore wa, makenakatta 
Because I knew... kono inochi wa mada moeru

Yoru ga fukaku naru hodo, omoi wa fukaku
Sonzai shōmei wa, kizu no naka ni aru
Namida no imi wo ore wa shitta
Tada tsuyoku naranakute mo, sore de ii n da

Kieta egao ni, kotoba wo sasayaku
“Kimi no tame ni mo, ikite mitai” to
Yami ga aru kara, hikari wa mabushii
Kurayami wo shitta kara, ima ga suteki

English Translation: 
I crossed nights too many to count 
Loved ones became part of the sky 
Even then, I didn’t lose 
Because I knew… this life still burns

The deeper the night, the heavier the thoughts
Proof of existence lies inside the scars
I learned what tears really mean
It’s okay not to be strong — that’s enough

To the vanished smiles, I whisper words:
“I want to try living — even for you”
Because light shines brighter when there’s darkness
And because I knew the dark… this moment is beautiful


kansha no mukougawa

Samples a Nujabes song.

DONE TRYING

just a small rap i wrote to this track for fun. audio may be a bit scuffed. i dont own the beat or intend to profit from it. beat is weather overtone from kenichiro nishihara . all rights go to the respective owners. this is just for fun.

rough lyrics

giving thanks to my god
thank you
even though i haven't been strong
thank you god
for all you do
thank you



All i wana do is jump and hop to the beat, tired of only the grey skies that Ive seen, wana notice something more take note of the beauty, golden light pink hues make a soul seem moody, shifting myself as I sleep at night, cant get comfortable no matter how hard I try, somethings off it's now a great predicament
Times of the essence and im oh so sick of it, what can I do to change this path? move past the daunty mundane stained grass, blossom out some petals with color, vibrant lead sent in the letter from my lover, red in the title but nothing has matched, I was alone again waiting for time to pass, these feelings they fade, ones I can't grasp, laying down now i slink back in my bed, words and beats running wild through my head, am i dead because i dont know what's with the living? life is a trail and mines down for the killing, wasting years this rap ain't very neat, no one listens to the sounds and words that I speak, often alone so the thoughts tend to weep, keep em locked up inside, jail cell prison of the mind, will they escape or stay shacked with no key?

They say im the same please stop living in the past, can I move on God how long will this last, i thought I was strong and fought on hard through the blast, cold winter shocked stuck in my slumber I awoke, to the rhymes written through the cracks in my tone, aint got no home, so I'll still keep pushing for a spot in the better place, i let em hate, erase the pain like tunes to my heart they be leaving the stain, one I can't cover up with a simple touch, id rather be living true than living it up, and yes I still rust with them days and nights, and if I can't find who I am then who is right? What's the real truth when no one can seem to hear? I don't wana live my life if its filled with fear. I just wana find the sounds that be pulling me near, ever opened up just spilling out blood, my purpose is forgotten but it's one I've loved and held so close, in these last days I still find thankfulness though, for that of flow and the days that come, allowing me to be myself and watching over your son

give thanks to my god

give thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks thanks thanks to my god
give thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks to my god
thanks thanks thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks to my god

FULL WINSLOW EDITS 2025 COMING IN DECEMBER ON BANDCAMP

How I made it: https://youtu.be/nQsY5Yhylwk
-
One of my all-time favorites from Nujabes next to "Other Side of Phase". The feel, the lyrics, the sample... The more I dive into his discography the more I'm inspired to write more tunes. With this edit, I tried to capture the original feeling of nostalgia, love, and getting through hard times. I know I'm not alone here in feeling that music has this profound effect on our lives. It's one of a few things that can keep my head up when there's so much to keep it down, you know?

Anyway, hope you enjoy the tune.

just a small rap i wrote to this track for fun. audio may be a bit scuffed. i dont own the beat or intend to profit from it. beat is evensong from the album moment in life by seasons' end . all rights go to the respective owners. this is just for fun.

rough lyrics

you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all the things that would make me move
you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all the things that would make me move

sometimes i really dont wana be alive,
id rather die, when i look into the mirror i dont see no eyes staring back
its like an empty husk, id like to get hit by a bus cuz there aint no one to trust, i glance to my left and to the right at the same time, walking the same line, things dont seem to change just the time of the day,
and this ones the end, i hope i dont go fast id like to relish the feel
never felt much before, do you think ill enjoy the kill? even if its my own pill, one i can see, a person may live long but he dies when the people leave, even if its on the inside the only part that breathes, fresh air to to take to the chest, if life is an essay im known to fail the test, and im not guna lie to you, apparently, i didnt do my best

you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all the things would can make move
you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all the things that would make me move

you told me it was you but it was me, your living in a dream life aint a fantasy, i did the deed, i wana die and maybe not see 30, 28 now and the world just seem dirty, to that of a lone soul, but the sad fact is one of choosing my own road, ill pay for this choice while taking the stroll, it was i who should have died alone laying in the cold

you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all of the things that would make me move

sometimes i really dont wana be alive
id rather die when i look into the mirror i dont see no eyes staring back
its like an empty husk id rather get hit by a bus cuz there aint no one to trust, i glance to my left and to my right at the same time, walking down the same line, things dont change just the time of the day,
and this ones the end, i hope i dont go fast, id like to relish the feel,
never felt much before, do you think ill enjoy the kill? even if its my own pill, one i can see, a person may live long until he dies when the people leave, even if its on the inside, the only part that breathes, fresh air to take to the chest, if life is an essay i was known to fail the test, im not guna lie to you, apparently, i didnt do my best

just a small rap i wrote to this track for fun. audio may be a bit scuffed. i dont own the beat or intend to profit from it. beat is we are from the album many reasons by joseph jacobs. all rights go to the respective owners. this is just for fun.

rough lyrics

all i want to is
be my...
all i want to is
be my...
all i want to do is 
be myself
all i want to is
be my..
all i want to is
be my...
all i want to do is 
be myself

whats with this life am i right or am i wrong yo?
seeming like i been on the right track but wrong road
i fight facts and stay strong all through the songs flow
can i really be myself if its a person i dont know?
what has the world shown when i tried to blend in?
they pushed me aside as if i died, tossed to tha wind
no friends not a single soul to help me fit in
i been home swimmin in a bowl without no fins
and how long can i cruise down a road with no end?
i gotta fill up this hole up before i turn beast from man
had a peaceful plan, things dont always go the way of a god
got lost and trapped down inside the sod, i grip my leg i couldn't jump no matter how hard i tied, i wanted to run and hide but a man aint got no time to cry
you know the people pry they wanna get at your soul, expose your fears that way you cant make it home, alone on the shoal watching the waves as they crash, i had to pick up my boots and stomp through the ash...

all i want to is 
be my...
all i want to is
be my...
all i want to do is 
be myself
all i want to is
be my..
all i want to is
be my...
all i want to do is 
be myself

often wonder why, my god how am i guna survive, i watch others as they thrive, i try to dive deep, but seem my life still aint got the right jive, its in the wrong vibe, im living, i dont know how to listen, but please just one more time could your light glisten? shine bright upon the window pane for one to see, im in the wrong lane again, i beg you set me free, ive lied to you, stolen glory, ive hated others, distorted their story, my life been super stormy, a truth of hate, one not based in your flesh, if given one more chance i promise to do my best, and theres nothing else that i can say, my face is sullen battered with sadness as anger fuels my rage, i swim through blackness trapped in my own cage, ive chosen the wrong place to move, wish that i could change this path, and ill do anything, divert the crash, please lord just give me myself back

  
i dont know how
be my..
i dont know how
be my..
i dont know how to be myself
to be myself

be myself - we are - many reasons - layyzz remix

Nujabes featuring Shing02 - Luv(sic.) Pt3 (Johny Begood Mix)

Faraway

As a longtime fan of both Shing02 and Uyama Hiroto, this release truly moved me. Their music has been a guiding light in my journey — filled with passion, love for the craft, and a deep sense of purpose. They embody everything I aspire to as an artist.

(I don't know how all of you guys write your biography in third-person and still have it come out sounding good.)

Alex Besikian aka is a visual artist, producer and MC, known as the co-founder of Akromégalie Records and 1/3 of seminal French hip-hop group Kalhex.

Producer of critically acclaimed instrumental albums since 2011, Lex has been part of notable compilations such as Toru Hashimoto’s "Urban-Mellow FM 77.4 » (2014) or Radio Juicy’s « The Chronic » (2017).

Close to Nujabes' entourage, he collaborated with worldwide artists such as Grap Luva & Rob-O (from Pete Rock’s INI), Shing02, Uyama Hiroto, Dday One, Substantial & Mathematik (Down Ta Erf).

Represented in Japan by Takumi Koizumi (Hydeout Productions’ ex-manager), Lex performs regularly there and in Europe for over a decade.

Passionate about hip-hop in all its forms, my heart beats for the golden era in the US, the late 90s/early 2000s French scene (with legends like DJ Mehdi), and of course, Japanese hip-hop, which has had a huge artistic influence on me. Hydeout Productions, Takuya Kuroda, DJ Mitsu The Beats, Nomak, Nitsua… and many more shape my musical world.

I started as a deep listener, then moved into DJing and mixing, and now, I’m creating my own beats. No matter the evolution, the passion remains the same.

I also founded Ofa Music Group, a collective/label to honoring a specific era and musical aesthetic—where jazz and hip-hop blend seamlessly, where organic sounds meet lofi textures to create timeless atmospheres.
