YONAS - The Black Canvas lyrics

(Hook) DJ, I know love song, heart is torn in pieces, Future may be that is gone, play it all night long. I know I’m such a fool, i gave him all he needed Treated my heart and soul for nights in karat gold. I know it’s hard when you feel like everybody (shut you down, shut you down) I know it’s hard when you feel like everybody (shut you down, shut you down) With a bullet through the heart I popped the gun. (Verse) This goes out to the artists of my time Painting Mona Lisa’s and such But yet when the rent starts to climb Can’t afford their leases and such. They work hard for a decent little cut sponsored links Enough to let paint seep from the brush When I scribble I think of everybody from the lower to the middle cla**, we might touch. Can’t put a price tag on a real flow, Can’t put a body bag on a real soul, Can’t put a stop sign in front of a rock star when his goal and his dream is to k** shows. Young artist, clever thoughts When he follows his dreams, he’s never lost. What’s worth a lot of money now, here in the present Is the very same art in the past, people never bought. And damn it’s real Still paint on the canvas ill Cause I’ve gotta keep it moving forward man no standing still sh**, sh**, damn it’s real Still paint on the canvas ill Cause I’ve gotta keep it moving forward man no standing still. (Hook) DJ, I know love song, heart is torn in pieces, Future may be that is gone, play it all night long. I know I’m such a fool, i gave him all he needed Treated my heart and soul for nights in karat gold. I know it’s hard when you feel like everybody (shut you down, shut you down) I know it’s hard when you feel like everybody (shut you down, shut you down) With a bullet through the heart I popped the gun. (Verse) Van Gogh’s, Divinci’s, Basquiat’s, Warhol’s Jay-Z’s, 2Pac’s, Lupe’s, Paul Wall’s. Whoever you pin up on your wall In your room, it’s your call, It’s your movie, it’s your scenes, We just symbolize your dreams. Please understand what it means to be great When your talent becomes your escape So much to the point your reality is replaced by the place that you trace. And that place that you trace ain’t always easy to relate If it was then it wouldn’t be so safe, from the people tryna get up in your space. But f** it, gold chains, gold chains One thing that you’ll never see is a hood n***a with no chains, Hipster kid without a rope chain, Drug dealers with no shame, And me without my notepad just an*lyzing that whole thing. If life punches, you punch back Cause if not then your dreams die and trust me you don’t want that. All I need is my one mic, my one truth, and my one track. Cause once you lose that one love, you’ll never get that one back. (Hook) DJ, I know love song, heart is torn in pieces, Future may be that is gone, play it all night long. I know I’m such a fool, i gave him all he needed Treated my heart and soul for nights in karat gold. I know it’s hard when you feel like everybody (shut you down, shut you down) I know it’s hard when you feel like everybody (shut you down, shut you down) With a bullet through the heart I popped the gun.
