Текст Joell Ortiz – Mona Lisa
Текст:
The beauty’s in the flaws
I wipe the coal out of my eyes and let the light in
Look to the sky as I’m inviting the sunshine
The lightnin’, the rainfall, the downpour, of snow
My whole day, run away? No way, come right in
I’m one with all the elements, the benefits of writing
Is I can remain here, but go there, I’m flyin’, I’m fallin’
The parachute just opened, look I’m glidin’
Arriving thoughts heighten to the point I feel a slight wind
Goosebumps appear, you see ’em clearly on my light skin
Letters begin swarming words, form and take shape without a warnin’
I can feel my palms warmin’
It’s happenin’ again, all that I’m imaginin’
Is transferrin’ onto this palette as I scratch it with a pen
The first facet of a gem
The corresponding scriptures start matching at the ends
And sound alike my sound bites are at a 10
The tone in my headphones have grown
To a frequency unknown
Some of us call this the zone
Every instrument is on they own but not alone
It’s like we rent a separate apartment in a harmonious home
All I see is sounds, all I hear is colors
All I feel is nothin’, it’s a numbness like no other
Time is nonexistent, like forever in a moment
Wish this moment was forever but it’s forever been just moment
I’m staring at a canvas that was once blank
Contemplate if this was read aloud what would one think?
How would they perceive it?
In the light that intended, comprehending every meaning
Or will the just breeze through it like a gentle summer evenin’
Is this even worth leavin’ my easel I flip the sheet
And there’s a brand new canvas waitin’ for me, how convenient
It’s eyebrow raisin’ how I scrap a Mona Lisa
All I see is sounds, all I hear is colors
All I feel is nothin’, it’s a numbness like no other
(The beauty’s in the flaws)
Time is nonexistent, like forever in a moment
Wish this moment was forever but it’s forever been just moment
