From the album 'Museum'.

lyrics

Verse 1:

This reminds me of the time I flew to paris with my chick to peep the galleries
Living this art I make my vision is a masterpiece
I really been the soundtrack to New York fashion week
Cut from a different cloth the drip is in my arteries

They doubted had to shoot my shot and make a point like archery
Keeping my good and evil ways in perfect harmony
I made it look easy it wasn’t I move with nonchalance
By keeping inner ambience as my top response

Making order out of chaos
I’m the ghost breaking down the borders at a séance
I won the playoffs could give a fuck what they on
They drew their plans with crayons and my blueprint’s a renaissance

Put in some years did it with grace
Wise enough to know that slow and steady wins the race
Really allergic to hate it won’t accelerate the pace
The truth stared me in the face I’m one of the few who earned a place, still

Hook:

I’m painting portraits on the canvas
Trying to stay sane through all the madness
Always keeping something in the tank
‘Cause I know that big bank takes little bank

Verse 2:

When it's time for action ain’t no need to question where and when
No matter where I’m at you know it’s there and then
Every time I’m outside I stay ready to get it in
‘Cause I got patience but it’s wearing thin

Always feeling like a boss I’m not trying to find a job
Head chef I’m up in Hell’s Kitchen like the Irish mob
I don’t identify as a child of god
Pull up and do what I came to do and then I’m sliding off

My positive mind set is in full effect
I done the most then done the rest I always come correct
It’s very rare that I ever feel like I’m under threat
Staying on my toes down coz misstepping could lead to sudden death

Dipped for a sec they hit the deck I just hit reload
Never slipping on disrespect I stay in beast mode
I’m gonna ball no matter what don’t wait for free throws
Life ain’t a game don’t play around there ain’t no cheat codes, kid

Hook:

I’m painting portraits on the canvas
Trying to stay sane through all the madness
Always keeping something in the tank
‘Cause I know that big bank takes little bank
