Scooby MiKE - Lost Art lyrics
[Produced by Nine-Ease] [Sample: Yoda] 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 [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 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)
