Art Morera - Paint (feat. Serum) Lyrics

We gon' paint this town read, read em books cause they dumbed down
White and blue for my Sweetwater Nicas who got nuff crowns
Basquiat Picasso when I rock to Arthur's drum sounds
Varnish makes the colors pop like C-walkin in blood town
Look how far we come now, this song is in the Louvre
Paint a perfect picture of imperfection is how I'm moved
Number 2 is number 1 when it comes to Mode and Phase
So much writing on the walls I got frozen in the maze
Damn, stop and watch around you
Life gets deep and its aqua drowns you
Man, sometimes I feel green
Black man stressed out so I release steam
Hip hop is my girlfriend cut my ear off like I'm Van Gogh
Maybe leave her one day, pack the uhual watch the van go
No more happy trees for me so Rest in Peace to Bob Ross
Benetton uniting colors every time the god talks

Life is a canvas, at time it flies
Don't spend too much time tryna watch it dry, it's like paint
Life is graffiti, you know I'm 'bout mine
Make sure you outline when the colors collide, it's like paint

Out the placenta, with a tint of magenta
We enter into the world sent from the inventor
I went to hell and back, I was sellin' bags full of neon green
Don't know why, that was beyond me
Just wanted to be on these rap beats hella bad
Make my mark, like my name is Art, hello
Lines went over their heads, eyes squint so
You can catch a glimpse of the sun's bright yellow
Darkenin' my melanin of my skin
Embellishin' any blemishes
Mental images sketched with a pencil and pen
Staring at my ceiling fan thinking where this will eventually end up
When it's done, we'll begin again
Time flies 'til the wings clipped
Several hues, spray paint residue on my fingertips
Life's one day at a time like a one-liner, not a single skip
Then we get our pink slip, now that I think of it

Life is a canvas, at time it flies
Don't spend too much time tryna watch it dry, it's like paint
Life is graffiti, you know I'm 'bout mine
Make sure you outline when the colors collide, it's like paint
