Odd Thomas - Art Ambidextrous lyrics

[Verse 1] That's the art ambidextrous Switch the left hand on ya Flip the whole steez like only the Son of Man can and uh... Predicaments that land ya in the valley of decision Listen I pray the same thing but not with vain repetition Listen, are you listenin'? It's impossible to master highs How you control a controlling substance with only eyes? Only lies, only seeing one side Correct reception, it turns a blizzard to a breeze Righteous on the other hand, I write for left-handers Oversight stories, unknown types The ether or lander, this or that fame the Lion Lamb violent, peace Humble Beast And when a man change his ways, story becomes 3-D Words deserve pictures, livin' and breathin' [?] Words to miracles you only can hope in See the best we all doin' is structure and smoke [Hook] But on the other hand, I bring art from the other hand Powerful brush strokes of the Son of Man You better train your other hand to see what I see It makes a blizzard to a breeze But on the other hand, I bring art from the other hand I bring art from the other hand But on the other hand, we rep art from the other hand Powerful brush strokes of the Son of Man [Verse 2] This is Citizen Aim inspired Proclaiming the Lord's sire 'til his lungs retired literally That's what you get when your own organs yell "Mutiny!" For every person who was forced to pick whether they were visual or auditory learners Mic or black book burners Broad-brush victims with a vicious vendetta to prove they are not them I got you, every road less traveler This is what love tastes like If you could only hear my sketchbook Them drums front and center like they're starving for attention So tempted to wax cold and grow calluses God grant us a blessing in honor of Oscar Grant My people's hearts have gone granite Granted, I expected them to I apologize, unsung ones Your stories ain't told much They don't make for good headlines No one cares about the lefties But on the other hand, we rep art from the other hand But on the other hand [Hook] [Verse 3] I'm so done wasting words A not-so-vivid imagery Enemy wages war and silly me still scrimmaging Radio prisoners still rape for ratings I'm sorry, I don't get it. Like the whole world is listening and that's the best you can come up with? An artistic obligation to defend beauty and truth Rap repeating its dumb behavior -- that's a symptom of autism A "micro" of the "macro" Welcome to the great cultural dumb down I'm so done wasting words now But ya'll already know this side I'm finna command-Z ya Un-bite the apple, no "control C-V" ya Take these new raps from handclaps to finger snaps to grid De-saturate how I live Multiply the layers, drop the opacity, make it transparent I call it God's Photoshop This here is a collection of the boldest stock images When the part of you that expects failure speaks too loud, download these images Fake left and go right, tell the road less traveled buckle up and hold tight This is rap and poetry, emceeing and imagery Mic and the canvas, art ambidextrous I'm so through wasting words
