[00:00.09]DJ I love this song (my) heart is torn in pieces
[00:04.16](the) future baby that is gone (I) played it all night long
[00:08.90]I know I'm such a fool I gave him all he needed
[00:13.14]Traded my heart and soul for 18 karat gold
[00:17.85]DJ I love this song (my) heart is torn in pieces
[00:21.03](the) future baby that is gone (I) played it all night long
[00:24.58]I know I'm such a fool I gave him all he needed
[00:28.08]Traded my heart and soul for 18 karat gold
[00:31.45]I know it's hard and you feel like everybody shot ya down shot ya down
[00:35.38]I know it's hard and you feel like everybody shot ya down shot ya down

[00:45.92]This goes out to the artists of my time
[00:47.85]Painting Mona Lisa's and such
[00:49.48]But yet when the rent starts to climb
[00:51.60]Can't afford their leases and such
[00:53.35]They work hard for a decent little cut
[00:55.10]Enough to let paint seep from the brush
[00:56.97]When I scribble I think of everybody from the lower to the middle class we might touch
[01:00.40]Can't put a price tag on a real flow
[01:02.27]Can't put a body bag on a real soul
[01:04.08]Can't put a stop sign in front of a rock star when his goal and his dream is to kill shows
[01:07.89]Young artist clever thoughts
[01:08.64]When he follows his dreams he's never lost
[01:10.69]What's worth a lot of money now here in the present
[01:12.75]Is the very same art in the past people never bought
[01:14.69]And damn it's real
[01:16.47]Still paint on the canvas ill
[01:18.21]Cause I've gotta keep it moving forward man no standing still
[01:21.77]Sh*t sh*t damn it's real
[01:23.70]Still paint on the canvas ill
[01:25.33]Cause I've gotta keep it moving forward man no standing still
[01:28.45]

[01:57.02]Van Gogh's Divinci's Basquiat's Warhol's
[02:00.64]Jay-Z's 2Pac's Lupe's Paul Wall's
[02:04.07]Whoever you pin up on your wall
[02:05.83]In your room it's your call
[02:07.58]It's your movie it's your scene
[02:09.45]We just symbolize your dreams
[02:10.82]Please understand what it means to be great
[02:13.38]When your talent becomes your escape
[02:15.13]So much to the point your reality is replaced by the place that you trace
[02:18.86]And that place that you trace and always easy to relate
[02:22.10]If it was then it wouldn't be so safe from the people tryna get up in your space
[02:25.67]But f**k it gold chains gold chains
[02:28.97]One thing that you'll never see is a hood ni**a with no chains
[02:31.71]Hipster kid without a rope chain
[02:34.34]Drug dealers with no shame
[02:36.10]And me without my notepad just analyzing that whole thing
[02:40.76]If life punches you punch back
[02:43.26]Cause if not then your dreams die and trust me you don't want that
[02:46.18]All I need is my one mic my one truth and my one track
[02:50.43]Cause once you lose that one love you'll never get that one back
