Just Doing Art

[Intro]

That's what I wanna do

(Stop the violence!)

Son, ain't no "stop the violence"

(That's what I'm about)

That's what I'm about, so what's up?

We can set it right now, you ain't thug

[Verse 1: The Alchemist]

Roll a minicam, swerve in the middle lane

Direct connection, No Middle Man is my middle name

Fill up the huggies with a lump, you leave a little stain

Speed demon like a Japanese missile train (Pssh)

All in, fallin' in formation (Hut hut)

I hit the floor racing, the 911 Porsche is pacing

Days off are never taken, my spot is never vacant

I'm letting off and dropping metal cases (So what's up?)

Like Special Forces throwing darts

Take a rapper, fold him in parts

I'm short, I got a complex like Napoleon Bonaparte with a frozen heart (Mmm)

I got a freezer box on my chest with the door ajar

Speakin' Portuguese in a foreign car

Pourin' dark, the 9 Taurus spark, give you a beauty mark

I'm mechanical with no moving parts (Nothing at all)

And if I smear your bloody body all on the canvas, I'm just doing art

Swim with open cuts in a pool of sharks

I'm all bite with no bark, pull up the convertible and park

[Segue]

Yeah, yeah, with me you do, today you do

[Verse 2: Boldy James]

Picture Picasso with the spray can

A hint of Ray Charles in some Ray-Bans (Uh-huh)

I'm Bobby Blue Bland mixed with Mayhem (Okay)

I make the bag breakdance (Yeah)

Been stackin' off the top, I turn that grade ten

Roll bounce around my neck, ain't talkin' skater rinks (That's what I'm about)

Leonardo tryna crack the Da Vinci Code (Ayy)

Modern-day Basquiat, in the spot with Givenchy clothes (Blockworks)

I took the time to stand my ground just like a warthog (Standing down)

Kept a big paintbrush on me, Andy Warhol (Step)

Vanguard left them niggas in awe but ain't no Taco Bell (Grrt)

Fighting these demons, I'm the opposite of Raphael

When the color of blood contrast with the street, what a masterpiece

I'm from where the D in Detroit stand for Livin' Dastardly (Real D-Boys)

Youngin' shot up a few clubs on behalf of me (Uh-huh)

Made it do what it does because it is what it had to be (Gang)

I touched a ticket, ran it up off of half a key

Don't bang no sets but you don't wanna color-contrast with me (227)

Blockworks

[Segue: Oh No]

(Stop the violence!)

Damn

Ain't no "stop the violence"

Help me up, help me up

That's what I'm about

[Verse 3: Oh No]

I use digital art, a pivotal part how I cut 'em and crop 'em (Let's go)

Critical start, I brush 'em and chop 'em (Yes), flush 'em and drop 'em

If any problem, they get the comic emoji from Gotham (Blaat)

Inside my zone how I frame 'em and box 'em, got 'em

Y'all ain't solid, just some snakes sittin' low-low

They will find you on the side of the wall like plate sticker logos

Advanced when I draw, that's pixels to polygons

After Effects is realer than what Adobe is probably on (Da-da-da-da-da-da)

Assimilate scenes, they sync up, the job is automation

That means I'm bringing life to the dead like God's occupation

I'ma need more space than a constellation, where the air is thinner

No conversation, just high-quality conservation (Yeah)

The great architect, I devise the diagrams that all connect

While the tech is off the deck, it'll threaten your attire

I'm sky-writing like ain't nobody higher

Using the Krylon and a lighter, I'll show you how I paint the fire

No!
