Apollo Brown ft. Joell Ortiz - Mona Lisa Lyrics

Mona Lisa



I wipe the coal out my eyes and let the light in
Look to the sky as I'm inviting, the sunshine, the lightning, the rainfall, down pour of the snow and how it whitens the whole ground and somehow that brightens

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 flying
I'm falling, the parachute just opened, look I'm gliding ...

Arriving Thoughts heighten to the point I feel a slight wind
The goosebumps appear you see em clearly on my light skin
Letters begin sworming words form and take shape without a warning
I can feel my palms warming

It's happening again, all that I'm imagining is transferring onto this palette as I scratch it wit 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 tones in my headphones have grown
To a frequency unknown some of us call this the (ZONE)
Every instrument is on their own but not alone
Its Like we rent separate apartments in a harmonious home


All I see is sounds.... All I hear is colors
All i feel is nothing it's a numbness like no other
Time is non existent.. like forever in a moment
Wish this moment was forever but it's forever been just moments


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? Will everyone receive it in the light that I intended Comprehending every meaning

Or will they just breeze through it like a gentle summer evening
Is this even worth leaving my easel I flip the sheet and
There's a brand new canvas waiting for me how convenient
Sometimes I scrap a Mona Lisa before y'all get to see it


BridgeHook:

All i see is sounds, all I hear is colors
All I feel is nothing, it's a numbness like no other
The beauty's in the flaws

All i see is sounds, all I hear is colors
All I feel is nothing, it's a numbness like no other
The beauty's in the flaws
