[Chorus]
We’re the artists and martyrs
We’re the honest and martyred artists
[Verse 1]
Hi, I’m Matisse, the rap Jackson Pollock piece, I’ll admit it’s hard to swallow me
When I’m carving a feature out of oddities, but in all honesty, I’ve got a quality
That’s not often seen within these starry G’s, but it’s hard to keep it up and bark on beats
When these gnarly streets keep a darkened sheet right beside all of my rhymes like I’m a martyred freak
All I do is hate on other rappers, sick and pitiful, when am I gna get it through my head I’m invisible?
Shit ain’t even minimal, nobody even listens through, hidden on the internet, I’m getting sick of little dudes
Blowing the fuck up and making me look miniscule, sitting in an inner tube while they all swim in bigger pools
Bitch I’ma forget the rules, fuck a frikkin hit or two, I’ma let it loose with my vision and beget a new
Age of artists, way of the tarnished, faces hardened by their place in the darkness
Make you astonished, take in the starving, and bake ‘em a marvelous cake for their hardship
This Sauce is a patient marksman, waiting to harness the faith of the fallen
I don’t even target before I spit carnage, and this is my morning shit, it’s alarming
[Verse 3]
Never utter my name thinking I’ll ignore you, never utter my name digging for the boy who
Never fucking uttered but a stutter to avoid you, you’re never motherfucking ever fucking with this Tsoy dude
“Tsoy who?” See that’s my point dude, ain’t nobody wanna be my buddy and enjoy tunes
Tsoy loses, America’s point proven, ain’t nobody love the motherfuckers who enjoy music
So we keep it up, writing our verses, writing our trite little lives into hearses
Signing our certificates and micing our murders, like we would like this to lighten our curses
But we’re God damned, fighting this urgent indictment and working to right this internment
Of like wordsmiths, bright but imperfect, that’s what it’s like to live life with these urges
