RENAISSANCE LYRICS
[HOOK]
What happens when there's no paintings on the walls
Form over function then everything falls
A Gallery of classics will they even sell at all...
What's its worth? auctioning your soul
[CHORUS]
What's it worth? Auctioning your soul X3
Is the price too high, is the price too low
[NAY]
Ayo I'm just an artist going thru hardships
My paints clear to see upon the wall and you cant miss,
Yeah I've put in pride in my work since I started,
My ink cartridge it stays hitting the target Like a sicker Archer-ist,
My product gets the Loco stamp before it hits the market
A rocky road my seatbelt strapped up just in case that the car flips
I'm not a makeup artist musical my vinyl's shiny sprayed n varnished
Critics wanna talk until my name is tarnished
[TY]
Like a defaced Mona Lisa in a broken frame
The red velvet rope gets singed in the open flames
[LOUIS]
I blackout like Caravaggio on his darkest days
Golden bars while I'm sat smoking the purple haze
Were the renaissance in response to the loss of faith
The price of pigment…. or the cost of paint
[TY]
I'm dark, I'm tar, nah fuck it I'm noir
Je ne sais quoi the value is then its au revoir
[NAY]
Hasta la vista see u later amigo
I'm painting pictures like I'm Marcus Rodrigo, they ain't appreciating,
the price of livings high, but this arts depreciating,
Local Healers, we got fans ima keep em waiting
[TY]
With the cypher to decipher the deceiving the ways
Like DaSafo I'm just watching how the truth sways
Parliament, cant par with dem
Little Britain trippin' hows little Derek doing Ok
[LOUIS]
We’re the usual suspects like Keyser Söze
Drinking the Smirnoff mixed up with the OJ
Murder without a trace no DNA on the gloves
Shouts out to 4i2i and Stowaway
[NAY]
If you ain't messing with the real you can go away
Nowadays its strange antiques getting thrown away
[LOUIS]
I’ll dash Claris Cliff off a cliff
I’m not old I’m Vintage but life’s still a shower of shit
[TY]
Watch it rain, down the drain, like an itsy-bitsy spider
I’m just caught up in a web of lies, my internet provider
Got me reading these, conspiracies, sipping on the cider
All these theories, I’m like J…Robert Oppenheimer
And the energy flows through me, I’m the copper wire
Faster than an auctioneer, is there a proper buyer
Going once, going twice, sold from a top supplier
But it's sad, cus it's only worth more once you die, uh
[HOOK]
What happens when there's no paintings on the walls
Form over function then everything falls
A Gallery of classics will they even sell at all...
What's its worth? auctioning your soul
[CHORUS]
What's it worth? Auctioning your soul X3
Is the price too high, is the price too low
