The Artist

What does artistry mean to you?
I draw the line by my feet
Separate my wants and my needs

Bitch I'm a Artist
I'm Meta like Artest
Not Meta like Facebook
This isn't a phase look
Watch out for the flame, Cook
Come take a page up outta my book
Come catch a fade up offa the hook
No you wasn't ready to do what it took
No you wasn't ready to give up a rook
Let alone Queen to become the King
Due to the Law of Averages
You really might make it you know what I mean?
Just don't deviate
From the heart can't recreate
Your art don't compromise
Bet somebody'll appreciate
Alleviate

Like a kegel what's the remedy
I just make music
Get lost in the melody
It's therapy
Hope the OGs get the message
And I'm tryna bring the news to the kids
Linda Ellerbee
Ever the perfectionist
I should see a specialist
Siftin through these samples on Splice
Like a geneticist
Bring my compositions to life
But which is relevant?
LISTEN
When it's in your blood it's ALL relative

Used to have all the patience now I'm
FLOORIN IT
Put 1 up when I'm down 2 my last might
Mike Jordan it
I'm only puttin 3s up now that's why I ain't 4-feit
Might see him in a museum on a 5 x 6 portrait

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT

A fuckin genius
Paintin masterpieces like I'm Rembrandt

This an ovulation no period
