Lyric

Classic Blues

XILA, Benizakura

ふと思い返せば

泣きたなる日もあった

そして月日が経って

過去の傷も今じゃ そう…

想い出にそっと口づけを

ボトムの酒なら渇かない

溢れそうになるほど激しいMemories

Street Dream, The Melody

塀の外に出た2012

久しぶりに吸う娑婆の空気

仲間達からの放免祝い

まだムショボケしてて小便臭い

帰って来た大阪の街

欲望が渦巻いてるクソ大都会

誰が何と言ったって知るか

ナックルズ載ったアメ村の実話

ポストに届くムショからの封筒

汚い字でいついつの出所

帰って来たら速攻飯行こうや

次ちゃんとした金 手にしようや

遊ぼうとしてあいつに電話

電源切れててつかない連絡

乏しい稼ぎ牢屋に寝泊まり

時代の流れと出入りは激しい

とめどない人の移り変わり

まさにこの街映した形

今は遠く離れても

イカれた想い出にグラスを掲げろ

想い出にそっと口づけを

ボトムの酒なら渇かない

溢れそうになるほど激しいMemories

Street Dream, The Melody

ふと思い返せば

泣きたなる日もあった

そして月日が経って

過去の傷も今じゃ 笑える話

上手く行かず怒りの矛先

誰かに向けていた

立ち向かうことでしか

痛みを消せなかった

想い出にそっと口づけを

ボトムの酒なら渇かない

溢れそうになるほど激しいMemories

Artist Profile

  • XILA

    It all began in 2004, in Amerikamura, Osaka. At that time, to rise up, you needed money, power, and reliable comrades in a fierce environment where "you couldn't be a rapper unless you were a delinquent." It was in this environment that XILA began his career as a rapper. XILA's words embodied the street reality, dreams, pain, love, and rebellion itself. His style of raw expression of street truths garnered tremendous support from many fans. In 2009, his burning spirit led him to a place of trial. He was arrested and incarcerated as a member of a large-scale cannabis organization. However, this did not break him. On the contrary, "Deep Green feat. CHEHON," which was born during his incarceration, became a powerful track that vividly conveyed his struggle. This track expresses the hardships and battles he experienced in a raw yet beautiful way, becoming a work that deeply resonates with many listeners. XILA's rap is the authentic voice of the street. Like graffiti, it's boldly painted yet meticulously expresses reality. His flow riding the baseline has the gravity of a hopping lowrider that stirs the soul. XILA is not just a rapper. He is a street poet, a philosopher, and his music reaches many people as the voice of the era. His activities will surely continue. His sound, which conveys the essence of street culture and the purity of delinquent culture, is a unique presence in today's hip-hop scene, and remains one to watch in the future.
