(Hook)
|
DJ, I know love song, heart is torn in pieces,
|
Future may be that is gone, play it all night long.
|
I know IĄŻm such a fool, i gave him all he needed
|
Treated my heart and soul for nights in karat gold.
|
I know itĄŻs hard when you feel like everybody
|
(shut you down, shut you down)
|
I know itĄŻs hard when you feel like everybody
|
(shut you down, shut you down)
|
With a bullet through the heart I popped the gun.
|
|
(Verse)
|
This goes out to the artists of my time
|
Painting Mona LisaĄŻs and such
|
But yet when the rent starts to climb
|
CanĄŻt afford their leases and such.
|
They work hard for a decent little cut
|
Enough to let paint seep from the brush
|
When I scribble I think of everybody from the lower to the middle class, we might touch.
|
CanĄŻt put a price tag on a real flow,
|
CanĄŻt put a body bag on a real soul,
|
CanĄŻt put a stop sign in front of a rock star when his goal and his dream is to kill shows.
|
Young artist, clever thoughts
|
When he follows his dreams, heĄŻs never lost.
|
WhatĄŻs worth a lot of money now, here in the present
|
Is the very same art in the past, people never bought.
|
And damn itĄŻs real
|
Still paint on the canvas ill
|
Cause IĄŻve gotta keep it moving forward man no standing still
|
Shit, shit, damn itĄŻs real
|
Still paint on the canvas ill
|
Cause IĄŻve gotta keep it moving forward man no standing still.

(Verse)
|
Van GoghĄŻs, DivinciĄŻs, BasquiatĄŻs, WarholĄŻs
|
Jay-ZĄŻs, 2PacĄŻs, LupeĄŻs, Paul WallĄŻs.
|
Whoever you pin up on your wall
|
In your room, itĄŻs your call,
|
ItĄŻs your movie, itĄŻs your scenes,
|
We just symbolize your dreams.
|
Please understand what it means to be great
|
When your talent becomes your escape
|
So much to the point your reality is replaced by the place that you trace.
|
And that place that you trace ainĄŻt always easy to relate
|
If it was then it wouldnĄŻt be so safe, from the people tryna get up in your space.
|
But fuck it, gold chains, gold chains
|
One thing that youĄŻll never see is a hood nigga with no chains,
|
Hipster kid without a rope chain,
|
Drug dealers with no shame,
|
And me without my notepad just analyzing that whole thing.
|
If life punches, you punch back
|
Cause if not then your dreams die and trust me you donĄŻt want that.
|
All I need is my one mic, my one truth, and my one track.
|
Cause once you lose that one love, youĄŻll never get that one back.
