The 49ers - Picasso lyrics

I'm an artist with the ink
Think of me as Picasso
Painting pictures with these words then
I got to go (got to go)
Because they probably won't respect
It until I exit
It's a damn shame they don't see the
Writing on the wall while it existed
They missed it, critiqued it
Wrote it off like it's toxic
But now they want to box it
And ship it out with great rates
And duplicate
Don't know if it's original or fake
So wake up
Because it's the real deal, surreal like
Salvador Dali my baby and escort
Her to the door elevator to the 4th floor
And welcome to my musical museum
I'm your host for the evening
I'm Jas Mace I surfed the Great Wave
And hi-fived my fans because it's
Cooler in the shade
In this place we mixed rhymes with absinthe
Until we're absent minded
Blinded by the memories

It's a work of art, a masterpiece
Amazing with the techniques just
To say the least
Great use of expression on a Hip-Hop beat
Could you sign your name on it
Just to make it complete
It's a work of art, a masterpiece
Amazing with the technique just
To say the least
So remember me, and those that came before me
Don't wait until it's too late
To recognize the great

Had brushes with death like Edward Monk
Make them scream like the painting
With the extra funk
That I masterpiece because yes I got the hot
Beats, and write words like I'm Basquiat
On my canvas it's analyzed
On every single campus
I'm an artist making pictures
Like Marcel Camus but don't get it twisted
I'm quick to get brolic
And throw some shit together like
The great Jackson Pollock
For more corners than a cubist
Connect the dots like impressionist
Now I'm on some new shit
My new technique is vivid with new hues
But how I put it down left
You thinking with no clues
How I blend up the palette you can
Tell that I ain't new to rhymes
Why you going in circles
Like you're the Guggenheim
They unveil my works and start fainting
And now they hang around my
Crib like a painting

It's a work of art, a masterpiece
Amazing with the techniques just
To say the least
Great use of expression on a Hip-Hop beat
Could you sign your name on it
Just to make it complete
It's a work of art, a masterpiece
Amazing with the technique just
To say the least
So remember me, and those that came before me
Don't wait until it's too late
To recognize the great
