be you do what you do
but what you say

(1st verse)

man I seen this sleek graf piece
of Japanese baby shadows
blasted black back
against a foundation of half cracked knees
how could the artist catch the perfect and exact beauty
of their little faces
from 10,000 stacked feet
cynical laugh
musta had mad reach
flash freeze frame
made efforts
remembered to paint the faded jump ropes froze in half leap
man’s canvas masterpiece
banana ants and apathy
hands danced to slash thick apple on this last patch of green
fat squeeze the master painter heard the ground cry out black streaks
deep ash piles of salmon pink and sweet corn yellow
rusty red dragon stabbed across my sky so subtle
greasy cobalt streaks from black squares
puddles of pear bubbles
puncture holes double as burgundy moons
over dim plum meadows
mint stamped oasis
and gray aphids
of charcoal statistics
scraping scarlet
across mustard crust
maroon and hunter critics (maroonin hunter critics)
purple mistress circles of tin
spin under burnt umber crimson
instances of living
under vivid lemon wings
with quick orange flickers
flash
ripped the canvas in his mouth
in his coarse grin full of slivers
to join the outer phoenix
with the inner
seen it
initialed with white warm splinters
scenic

(2nd verse)
he sang so carpenter
how you paint ivory fences
with red hands and hammers
the left stumbles
like the right dances
his full ring of keys answers
be the hardest tinkling c
sharpest stinging b
carpal tunnel vision
listen with heart and soul then soul can pump beat literally
heart can spot mind
mind can rock earth
the stuck prey alarms the spider
in her dark cave soft purr
to faucets spring a leak
on spoon and greasy saucer ring
to father sing this autumn breeze
strangle this queen that knows the thoughts he thinks
constant pacing back and forth
crawling this long hall of keys
his song is out of reach now
down-stretched palms to maul the beast
he calls his sleep out
twisting sheets
spotted monstrous mistress
starving queen darling clouded dream catcher
chattering snarling teeth
right back at him
call it holy matrimony
fire ax in sharp c
laughing foaming at the soul
swollen charred reach
arms locked
arched back
scarred deep
rippling water
tapping feet on beat
rhythm dwindling softer sleep

(out dubs)

be you do what you do
always
here come the locusts
here comes the locust

"A response to the Jam Master Jay Dr Pepper commercial. Wen I saw it I was utterly disgusted by how fucking gay advertisers are. Would Coca Cola have had Vincent Van Gogh's left ear in a Dr Pepper commercial? Not to compaream Master Jay and Vincent Van Gogh artistically, but credibly. The scene is very indicative of hip hop's lack of legitimacy. An artist trades his life for his art so I made a free Coke commercial with two different examples. First example is a painter, painting a picture of man's achievements until now (in reality it's him putting his head to the canvas and blowing his brains our through the canvas). The second example is a pianist fighting with his piano, beating the shit our of it (in reality a man with his hands in the bathtub with a toaster being electrocuted). I wanted to literally paint a picture with words for the first part, and literally play the piano with my words on the second part.

Always,

Coca Cola”
Even after that explanation, I still can't decipher the song line for line. I would really appreciate it if someone explained all the metaphors and wordplay for me. That would be really kind. Thanks.

One thing you should know, also. Is the way he's writing this, you only get one line after reading a few. This is an awesome way of writing.

I love poetry. But damn...at first you almost think he's just rhyming anything together with anything. But, it clicks.

I'd have to read it a few times to get the full meaning out, but that's my take on it after a listen. Good stuff, though

What metaphors did you understand?

I'd love to be able to write like this, but I'm not smart enough...

Hey there! I've moved your thread to Media & Entertainment, as I think it will get a better response there! Best of luck! I hope you find the help you're looking for!
