Deacon the Villain - Architecture lyrics

[Intro: Natti] Yeah yes yes it is Will you take it all in and look at it? [Verse 1: Natti] The way the bricks are built to move bricks Hustle up a pristine castle of toothpicks Fused with the glue of accruing a few whips Feeling brand new with your crew in some new whips Living room laid at expense of a few flips Alphabet soup landscaping with shoe prints Admiring the spiraling steps and marble floors Feeling triumphant, Victorian doors Snitches sound trumpets, agents coming in yours On behalf of a great nation, donation Got you in a cell pacing, mind racing Praising you while appraising your foundation King for a day in a palace of crown molding Now you get to see the crown, molding Kingdom stolen Give you work let you bubble and make it double with time Step back and admire the design [Hook] Such a fantastic piece of architecture [Verse 2: Sha Stimuli] They said it was Kool Herc that laid a foundation for us to move with But in thirty years Diddy and Jigga altered the blueprint The ancestral feel got modernized in a new sense But newer isn't always better, it's like a nuisance To see something lovely and ugly And simultaneously make you feel like you wanna punch it, love it and lay with it I stand there watching the tourists view it and hate on it And young kids mess up the artifacts and they play in it And really once the structure became something to profit from The Mike Tyson mansion's the prototype when you're pockets done You looking at the Joneses so focused like, “Yo, im coppin' some Cars, cribs, j**elry, a trophy wife and a pile of guns” Wow, sometimes I marvel at the moving ceilings Artists keep on reaching, labels act like marvel super villains Been locked in ten years no shine I just step back and admire the design [Hook] [Verse 3: Substantial] Gaze at a beautiful mess, a broken angel Of sorts good intentions on a foundation With no joists, but the floor plan look promising Focus on profiting rather than keeping seeds blossoming Mind boggling how they remodeling, my God Only wish they made our children as brilliant as this façade Hard not to be amazed by the maze we got here Reach the next level no clue how you got there When the occupiable space is overcrowded You feel somehow detached can't wait to get up out it It all is part of the site plan Some people feel the fault is that of the white man We help build it, ain't teaching sh** at home but never miss a day on the job Build with brittle stone eventually things fall apart The structure we're viewing slowly become ruins in time But for now just admire the design
