To Bob Ross with Love |
Now who you know leave the scene |
Messier than canvas’s by Jackson Pollock |
Throwing multicolored thoughts at a rapid pace |
I make a mess you dissect it and make sense of it |
Then get back to me at your earliest convenience |
Check my verbal sequence as I texturize these tracks |
Seven layers to be exact eliminate the whack |
With a firm brush stroke I mc paintily |
Lyricists begin crumbling from my scumbling technique |
As I tweak your audio and visual keep my drips minimal messages subliminal |
Cause me and rap go way back we compliment |
So together we enhance one another that’s common sense |
High intensity catches the eye your jaw drops |
Be a real critic not explicit with false props |
I keep my darks deep my lights bright I’m very thorough |
With my churascurro inspiration spark and a knife |
Now watch me rock the spot like Basquiat minus the heroin |
And make my face popular like Andy did to Marilyn |
Its kinda scary when real art gets left behind |
While they take bullshit and start selling it to blind folks |
But I remain humble as long as Grace continues spinning hot shit |
On his twin twelve-hundred color wheels of steel |
Fuck mass appeal art is art only the real can truly feel it |
So open your eyes and listen |
Combine your ears with vision |
Or do it cause you love it |
Or for cash that’s your decision |
That’s your decision |
That’s your decision |
It’s like I’m torn between two worlds |
A paintbrush and a microphone |
A canvas or a beat |
CD or LP |
Anything goes when my ink pen flows |
And God only knows where its gonna bring me next |
So I’m inclined to like paint rhymes and spit kaleidoscopes with one eye closed |
And I suppose if you chose the path that I chose |
You know the cycle ass ho don’t front |
It goes inspiration and productivity then a sense of self worth and in steps |
depression |
Like back and forth and forth and back |
Should I paint a picture or record a track |
A gift or a curse I don’t know I’m still undecided |
But over the years I’ve found clever ways to hide it |
And those that lack the passion I have may despise it |
But my momma made me this way I thank her everyday |
So tell them kids to keep coloring outside the lines |
Until they lose they limitations and they minds is free |
Tell them teachers that you want your money back this time |
And tell Bob Ross for all the happy little trees |
And tell my momma that her baby boy is doing just fine |
Although hes running out of patience but his mind is free |
And tell my pops that I’ll pay his money back sometime |
And that his son is two steps away from where he needs to be |
