Baba Brinkman - Hypnotize lyrics

Sicker than your average picture

Any artistic practice
With musicians or actors
Or visual craftsman just pick an example
And imagine the competitive advantages
That would come with recognition if
You have the gift
Now picture the artist with unlimited cash
And with
Picturesque women always givin’ him glances
Or, if you’re picturing a woman
Then picture the advances
Of the handsome prince whose
Attention she catches
Now, picture them livin’ happily ever after
And havin’ kids faster than
Angie and Brad Pitt
All because they have this
Gift with craftsmanship
Now take it from the master of the adjectives
I think it’s adaptive it has to be instinct
In synch with the rhythm
Just listen and sink
Deep into the subconscious of the obnoxious
Sexual selection, I’m just tickin’ the boxes
And if you’re feelin’ it
Then mission accomplished

Baba, Baba, Baba, can’t you see
Sometimes your words just hypnotize me
And I just love your turns of phrase
So even though you’re still broke
I love you anyway

Yeah, I could fill you with real scientific
Lyrics, but I confess that my mind is twisted
‘Cause, I’ve been listenin’ to Kanye
Nas and Jay while reading Richard Dawkins on
The opposite page so now this whole rap
Thing seems awfully strange
Talkin’ ‘bout, "He got game
And he’s not real
And he’s got chains" but wait
That’s a peacock’s tail!
‘Cause you never hear them say they
Got it cheap on sale
Which means that bling is meant to represent
How much they really spent
And at the end of the day

That’s the definition of a "fitness display"
Like a bowerbird’s nest
Which takes hours of work
And makes the females catch a powerful urge
Just like a style of verse or an amazing flow
But it takes dedication and it takes a toll
‘Cause the best displays are unfakeable

Baba, Baba, Baba, can’t you see
Sometimes your words just hypnotize me
And I just love your turns of phrase
So even though you’re still broke
I love you anyway
