Tone Jonez - The Lapidary lyrics

Verse 1: In 2017, we found there was a being Who made a legacy by dropping j**els that gleam But to find his kind we climbed in the underground Mining his shining findings; let me expound His are priceless like diamonds Only caught a glimpse of the lapidary's work since It's a handcrafted rarity; such clarity And design isn't given in charity So it was hidden away and we hear it was buried Among the dirt and remains of all the foes he carried And so we're left with the myth spurned from what we're left with We see them in museums and the art projected But I believe in the myth of his magnum opus His holy grail cause I plan to show this Expedition as the proof that the legend is true So let me introduce you to the crew Verse 2: As we spelunk through cave of the one hit wonders I'm moved to explain his craft Fiyablasta's work is fused with techniques we use Now and some of the past We're surrounded by artifacts but with closer inspection Their value is lessened by all the defects in Their structure made with cheaper and weaker Materials making them more prone to rupture But with more time taken what Fiya was making Is appreciating with age Like a fine wine when you're drinking You savor his thinking even when the topic's not sage You see experience throughout the artistry Telling stories that came from the heart, you see And in his epic, it's foretold that's where he bared most soul A personal collection- THAT DROP IS DEEP! Verse 3: And as it gleams, sparkling we can tell one thing The dazzling artistry are the things of dreams Every measure crafted by this artisan Is a treasure, every work his heart was in To find it here unblemished, in mint condition Is fascinating due to the surroundings that it's hidden in Engulfed in the clutter, what we uncovered is something unlike any other And you see the difference just by his imprint that it dwarfs all of those trinkets (I can't believe) the personal touch he put into the craft (Though I can see) how people could overlook him in the past (He subtly) made genuinely epic monsterpieces one at a time The lapidary knew a GEMs' worth isn't based on its shine
