Pa** on what you have learned
[Bridge: Scooby MiKE]
I'm starting to feel like the last artist of a lost art
(Lost art, lost art, lost art, lost art)
I'm starting to feel like the last artist of a lost art
(Lost art, lost art, lost art, lost art)
[Verse 1: Scooby MiKE]
Am I the only one who still cares about lyricism?
Painting pictures with my words, I want you to hear my vision
Cannons on the beach ready to sink a lil boat
Melt his ice so he drowns in the diluted and cannot float
In Davy Jones locker as I throw away the key
And pretty soon my waves are gonna dominate the sea
Write divine verses like Caedmon cause that's God's gift to me
But you're gonna be doomed if you don't know your history
Spirits of dead MCs live in me, call 'em ghostwriters
Haha I'm just kidding dawg, I'm not the OVO liar
They're praying to false gods, they must've grown so tired
Stay woke against all odds if you wanna go higher
k** one owl with one pebble as a sacrificial favor
All it did was eat tootsie pops and spit artificial flavors
I'm a lost star and the man on the moon is my savior
Made an impact on the world, now I'm boutta make a crater
[Hook: Scooby MiKE]
Oh, how did this happen?
That I'm the only one who's actually rappin'
None of these people really got heart
I'm the last artist of a lost art
Oh, how did this happen?
That I'm the only one who's actually rappin'
None of these people really got heart
I'm the last artist of a lost art

[Verse 2: Scooby MiKE]
People talking without speaking, hearing without listening
It's just the sound of silence, I miss how Paul Simon sings
Fall for fool's gold and you'll miss the buried treasure
Radio's not very clever, gotta dig for better records
I love my generation, but so many people fakin'
Cause they thirst from dehydration and lack of imagination
Need rain then a rainbow to paint over the nation
On creative explorations, travelling to stranger places
Art of war is never lost, but what about the war of art?
Faded murals, burning books, exploding statues torn apart
For you to view the big picture you have to be pure in heart
Big L ahead of his time, he finished before on your mark
But now rappers taking pride in not taking time on their bars
So all their lyrics fall flat while I'm reaching for the stars
So much of the mainstream force is talentless
I came here to wage a war and balance it
[Hook: Scooby MiKE]
Oh, how did this happen?
That I'm the only one who's actually rappin'
None of these people really got heart
I'm the last artist of a lost art
Oh, how did this happen?
That I'm the only one who's actually rappin'
None of these people really got heart
I'm the last artist of a lost art
[Outro: Scooby MiKE]
My protégé you're the prodigy predicted by the prophecy
I provided the proof, now proceed on your odyssey
And when your purpose is served
Pa** on what you have learned (lost art)
