Soniq - Da Vinci Baby lyrics

[Intro: Jay Z] Rap is pretty much thinking out loud. You're talking and you're putting your fears and vulnerabilities and, you know, you're putting your bravado, insecurities all on music. And it's there for the world to see. You're really giving it a glimpse into who you are [Verse: SoniQ] An entertainer like Michael On the mic I'm Michelangelo Paint a picture of a dike who likes to strangle hoes Neither of our wrists clean or pristine And when the ink spills every sixteen's a Sistine Chapel You're a basket with green apples I'm a basket-case going bananas on each sample Keep trampling everything in my way, leading by example Better give me my pay to speak ample f**in' stash, not 'suffering s**ertash' s**er Cash! They're fronting like he's such an upper cla** f**er Pa**ed out after his last supper pa**ed, aha Let's find his muse and put some gla** up her a**! And to think they treated her like Monalisa at start That's why I add animation like Homer, Lisa and Bart Marge, Maggie Got large baggies of weed in the cart Turn that smoke into lyrics and give the people some art Growing up admiring graffiti in the park I'd MC like Leonardo with a beanie and a spark That would shine so bright you would see me in the dark What I liked was PCP and MARZ So from Pablo Pica**o to Diego Fazio I wanna raise a bar like tables at the Bellagio And get into it like Van Gogh painting Mangoes Or a night sky where only a courageous man goes Never took it as an extra-mural But my use of colours gave Johannesburg an extra mural In high school my art teacher was convinced I'm crazy But if she'd only focused on my fingerprints then maybe She'd see a method to the madness like Da Vinci baby
