xv - if i could draw lyrics
[intro] [xv talking]:
haha. i played this for seven, he was like, “man, that sounds like some sesame street reading hour sh-t.” and i was like, “yeah…it kinda does.”
[verse one]:
if god said this
“i’ma take away your greatest gift.”
what would you ask to exchange it with?
it’s easy for me cause if he took away the rapping
i would like to draw, all that i imagine
i wish that i could just pick up a pencil and draw
but i can’t
f-ck, i can barely stencil at all
i would graffiti x to the vizzy all over walls
put my gamer tag on trains that p-ss by city hall
i would draw the colors i see when i sing my favorite song
by my favorite artist
man, i would be your favorite artist if i drew
if i knew
how to make this green turn to blue
or how to make this scene turn into
the dreams that i see when i think of a view
of a room with a grey gradient hue
or maybe i could do
comic books with heroes that look like you
squares that look like me
d-mn that would be cool
wouldn’t it?
[hook]:
i’d probably put the mic down
if i could draw
this song would have a painting right now
if i could draw
sometimes i wish that i could find out
if i could draw
and then i wouldn’t have to rhyme ’bout
if i could draw
i’d probably put the mic down
if i could draw
this song would have a painting right now
if i could draw
sometimes i wish that i could find out
if i could draw
and then i wouldn’t have to rhyme ’bout
if i could draw
[verse two]:
if i could draw man, i’d probably be romantic
have girls posing while i draw ’em like t-tanic
design my own city at the bottom of thee atlantic
that’s big vizzy
hahaha
i played a lot of simcity
i would draw the next sin city
i would draw fat versions of all my school crushes that just dissed me
i would draw an ugly girl pretty
to show her what i see
inside, she’d find it so witty
hip hop ain’t died, but it’s like it’s so empty
and that’s why i think the sky sent me
i would draw a perfect world and a perfect girl that just digs me
if that was the one gift god gives me
but he didn’t
i was made for spitting these lyrics while i’m still living
i’m xv but donovan is who i’m always given
so i can stay spitting this rhyme and just wishing
or i can fill these lines up in my composition
to show my vision
d-mn

i’d probably put the mic down

and then i wouldn’t have to rhyme ’bout
if i could draw
i’d probably put the mic down
if i could draw
this song would have a painting right now
if i could draw
sometimes i wish that i could find out
if i could draw
and then i wouldn’t have to rhyme ’bout
if i could draw
