[Refrain: Georgia Anne Muldrow & (Yasiin Bey)]
When I'm down, I just draw some roses
On a pretty piece of paper
With my red Stabilo Pencil
Halfway through, I feel so much better (Fresh!)
I imagine happiness (Wide awake in my dreams),
And it runs right to me – such amazing beauty (Why!)
[Chorus: Georgia Anne Muldrow & (Yasiin Bey)]
You don't have to (No necessary) cut up no roses (Be easy, chopper)
Please, just leave them living (Just cool, let creation grow)
Got my pencil (Check one), got pretty paper (Check two, check it out)
Please don't worry, we're forgiven (Power and grace, let's move!)
[Verse 1: Georgia Anne Muldrow & (Yasiin Bey)]
I have found–just the perfect feelin' (And it starts the true sensation)
Finally 'cause I'm grateful (Gratitude and my attitude, this morning)
I can feel your spirit (Feel it), coming closer on me (Every way!)
It is grand (Yes), just to be reminded
(Good God – when they reminisce over you, for real!)
Reminded of the good things (Good things, good things, good things)
Living in a new day (New day, bright star)
That no one can tear down (Undeniable!)
[Chorus: Georgia Anne Muldrow & (Yasiin Bey)]
You don't have to (No necessary) cut up no roses (Be easy on the cut!)
Please, just leave them living (Just ease, let creation grow)
Got my pencil (Check one), got pretty paper (Check two, check it out!)
Please don't worry, we're forgiven
[Verse 2: Yasiin Bey]
Power and grace
Yellow for friendship, red for love
Black for the universal stars above
Pink buds that I bought her on Valentine
She said it was forever, then she changed her mind
I said a little prayer, then I cleared my eyes
'Cause I feel the draw on my heartstrings, drawing the line
Started off with a orchid, natural portrait
I ain't Picasso, but that ain't important
Faith, smart dude, never graduated art school
Stay tuned, I'ma show you how my art move
Shape and dimension, flow and extension
Symmetry and shade, blowin' out the frame
Sign off my name Dante when I'm finished
Put it to your memory for permanent exhibit
Love, hard work, and it's worth every minute
Abstract is still life, real life kinetic
[Chorus: Georgia Anne Muldrow & (Yasiin Bey)]
Got my pencil (Check one), got pretty paper (Check two, check it out)
Please don't worry, we're forgiven (Power and grace to creation)
You don't have to (No necessary) cut up no roses (Be easy, chopper!)
Please, just leave them living (Just cool, let creation grow!)
[Refrain: Georgia Anne Muldrow & (Yasiin Bey)]
When I'm down, I just draw some roses (Magnetic art)
On a pretty piece of paper (Fresh!)
With my red Stabilo pencil (Translation, ha!)
Almost through (Next stop), I feel so much better (Destination, joy)
I imagined happiness (Wide awake in my dreams)
And it ran right to me – such amazing beauty (Why!)
[Chorus: Georgia Anne Muldrow & (Yasiin Bey)]
Got my pencil (Check one), got pretty paper (Check two, check it out!)
Please don't worry, we're forgiven (Power and grace the creation)
You don't have to (No necessary) cut up no roses (Be easy)
Please, just leave them living...
