b-baz – canvas of the mind ii lyrics
[verse one: tan turbo]
i never knew better when i was a kid
thought it be cool to buy my own lid
movies and music influenced me lots
i was in queens when infamous dropped
i wrote gang bang lyrics like come and get me
whoever wanna bring it, thought i was 50
he took nine bleeding but kept on breathing
so i was like f-ck it and kept on squeezing
but as i grew up a lesson i learned
don’t stay put while this world gon’ turn
make yourself known and speak your message
you can reach the globe man that’s a blessing
world a canvas my mind thirst
pins on a atlas my time’s cursed
if i could write a rhyme before i die
not gonna lie like my nine burst
[hook: b-baz]
if i could write a rhyme before i die
and make you think about it when you look up in the sky
i know grown men and women ain’t supposed to cry
but let me paint a picture on the canvas of your mind
said if i could write a rhyme before i die
and make you think about it when you look up in the sky
i know grown men and women ain’t supposed to cry
but let me paint a picture on the canvas of your mind
[verse two: b-baz]
when i was just a youngin’ on the come up
infected by the dreams of my peers in the gutter
raised in the ‘burbs, and amazing with words
couldn’t tame the allure, i could feel it every summer
every fantasy i had i began to write
no indication of whether it was right
using the same storytelling just for hype
but to a young n-gga, man, the sh-t was kryptonite
me and the crew script rhymes by the day
delusions of grandeur – we tryna get paid
but ya boy ain’t have the swag, i’m the nerd of cl-ss
even though i could rap, dog, i wasn’t lil wayne
started writing gritty street stories just to sleep
pop dukes told me, “son, you in too deep!”
gifted on the mic, but i knew that he was right
so i blinked, saw the light, knew that sh-t wasn’t me
[hook: b-baz]
if i could write a rhyme before i die
and make you think about it when you look up in the sky
i know grown men and women ain’t supposed to cry
but let me paint a picture on the canvas of your mind
said if i could write a rhyme before i die
and make you think about it when you look up in the sky
i know grown men and women ain’t supposed to cry
but let me paint a picture on the canvas of your mind
[verse three: b-baz]
kanye, lupe, common
gave me the knowledge to rediscover my polish
and i don’t mean the nails of that punk rock logic
but the one to go to college for them punch clock profits
ye made a way for cudi, wale and drake
wasn’t a thug rapper but had money in the bank
p-ssion, fashion, lights, camera, action
anything you asked, man, the boy made it happen
so i kept writing, and after graduation
went to bu and did “fast food nation”
trademark was patient, cause boy i f-cked up
but the l, i had to take it and use it to make me better
college had benefits: linked up with sweeney, hodak and d-payne
and started making genesis
tunji was the last one – wissahickon victories
’cause march 9, 2012 redefined my history
[hook: b-baz]
if i could write a rhyme before i die
and make you think about it when you look up in the sky
i know grown men and women ain’t supposed to cry
but let me paint a picture on the canvas of your mind
said if i could write a rhyme before i die
and make you think about it when you look up in the sky

but let me paint a picture on the canvas of your mind
