Group 1 Crew - Mona Lisa lyrics
[Group 1 Crew - Mona Lisa lyrics]
I wish that I could change your mind, yeah
But there's some things that I can't do, no
Yeah, that's alright with me, that's alright
'Cause, I know you'll never see all
Of the beauty in my flaws
Forgive me for them all
I need the Lord to be my Mona Lisa
They call this emotion rap
What's rap without emotions
Magician wit these flows
What's magic without a potion
Tryin' to start the next commotion
Water for your ocean
Like a door jammed stuck
I'm tryna get ya mind open
Only think positive
My mind be on that proton
Floatin over negativity, these jimmy neutrons
Are cartoon characters
Watchin them get confused on
The fact that I'm successful despite
Their attempts to do wrong
And they can't get that can't
Nobody stop my progress
I love on all my haters
I out maneuver like himelec
And I get happy when these people say my name
In negative or positive
To me it's really all the same
All it does is let me know that
Bein' great comes wit the games
But, I been drafted by my God
And most of y'all still tryna train
One day you'll get to where
I am and slowly graduate
From livin life for silly things to
Livin life just for a king, and that's real
I wish that I could change your mind, yeah
But there's some things that I can't do, no
Yeah, that's alright with me, that's alright
'Cause, I know you'll never see all
Of the beauty in my flaws
Forgive me for them all
I need the Lord to be my Mona Lisa
And people askin' what's Christian
About my raps
They ain't heard the name Jesus
So I'm just another wak
Emcee tryna say that I believe
When I still lack
The right amount of Jesus in my tracks… What?
Please tell me you don't think
That makes a song Christian
Saying just a name and nothin
Else is just religion
Power comes from what you do
Behind the proper diction
So I don't even have to say
The name to bring conviction
People wanna feel love
Not judgement from the righteous
Even sayin half these things I know
That I just might get
Hated on by all the ones offended, oh
So pious but this ain't for the prideful
This is for the ones relying
On a Jesus who ain't come to hate
The gays and be so violent
A savior who can forgive your
Abortion and ya crimes when
He came to save every one
Of us despite our lying
We need you, Lord, there's no
One who'll deny it
And I promise that's real
I wish that I could change your mind, yeah
But there's some things that I can't do, no
Yeah, that's alright with me, that's alright
'Cause, I know you'll never see all
Of the beauty in my flaws
Forgive me for them all
I need the Lord to be my Mona Lisa
And I don't know if this
Will even make my album
'Cause this ain't CCN
This is love witta different outcome
This is too loud
They want me to turn it down some
But, it's the perfect volume for the
Streets to gather round some
And my enemies tellin' me who I am
Like they can write the pages of
My life with their hands
I'm far beyond they reach
Like they 10 tryna slam
And my mind on a level
They can't even comprehend
This my offering, pick it up like a church do
Immigrant flow 'cause I always outwork you
All night grindin while they
Style gotta curfew
Hungry for the truth, take a seat
Let me serve you
But there's some things that I can't do, no
Yeah, that's alright with me, that's alright
'Cause, I know you'll never see all
Of the beauty in my flaws
Forgive me for them all
I need the Lord to be my Mona Lisa
They call this emotion rap
What's rap without emotions

What's magic without a potion
