Intro: Stroke of Genius
[Verse]
The envy of my biggest haters
It's not the type of situation that a n***a painting
I swear the dirty bitches scheming, they be on them capers
N***as dying from dippers, pistols, and fornication
This is the capital of the universe
Where dreaming of bigger wheels is pursuing a newer hearse
Now how was that for your consolation prize?
Can't address my vision, you caught up with naked eye
It's Basquiat without a brush, Vodka in a toilet cup
Painting dull colors 'cause my marijuana loud enough
Other artist that's working is never working this hard
It's sort of a cross between Nicky and Ernie Barnes
Sugar shacking with shorties wetting up all their pearlies
It's not a sleeve, baby girl, it's an allegory
And in any category, I'm very established
Got women of all colors, my home is a palette
Superior talent, women give me my balance
In Ocho Rios me and shawty, we smoke out a chalice
Rastafar right, n***a about to scar ya
And take a life, I'm painting potassium chloride
Expect the truth when I come through you n***as all slight
And you got no pull like you rolling up your cigars tight
I live by the code "fuck hoes", make it look easy
She said she need me in her walls, I give her graffiti
A jay of that diesel, my portrait been lethal
Straight off the easel, I proceed to do this for the people
Straight off the easel, still undefeated
I'm painting masterpieces
Ralph, A stroke of genius
