V. Nova, Smif-N-Wessun - Abstract Art Lyrics

Tradition forms of painting and sculpture have no function in our streamlined existence
If they are to find a place
In the civilization of the next half century
The visual arts must effect a compromise with machine
This can be done only within the terms of what we call Abstract Art
I'd like to welcome everyone to the Future
Used to be the educatee now I'm the tutor
Always conjuring a different flow to maneuver
This is not that week bullshit that you used to
It is more like slick rick return of the ruler
The king of the underground return from the sewer
The game need saving should've been a lot sooner
These rappers getting prude
Me I'm much cooler and fresh
Cuz I remain abstract
Let's take em' back
Let's take it back to the block party era
The 1980s summertime nothing better
Hood cookouts water fights and good weather
He had his good clothes on mad he got wet up
Girls practicing tryna get there steps together
Cuz if they lose the dance competition they'll be fed up
These kids nowadays don't know shit about to get up
These rappers getting dumber me I'm more clever and fresh
Cuz I remain abstract
Villa
PNC Boys
Came into the game with a mouthful of gold fronts
Timberland boots
Dress fatigued up
I was fresh off the night shift
357 with the nice grip
Eyes all red from the bloodshots
Fucking with them dreads with the blood clot
From arts and craft to guns and grams from
School to jail a boy to a man
Honored members of the golden era
I remember rocking Timb boots and gooses with the Polo emblems
Straight out the frying pan spit from the diaphragm
Paint a perfect picture
Draw you a lyrical diagram
Corner students study the blueprint
Pioneers of street music inspire the movement
I live it I breath it I give it receive it
360° til the cipher completed I'm Fresh
Irritations of old-fashioned forms of limitation
Have launched the 20th century artist on a restless search for new ways of expression
And for new techniques
Fresh
Buckshot whattup
Cuz I remain abstract

Tradition forms of painting and sculpture have no function in our streamlined existence
If they are to find a place
In the civilization of the next half century
The visual arts must effect a compromise with machine
This can be done only within the terms of what we call Abstract Art
I'd like to welcome everyone to the Future
Used to be the educatee now I'm the tutor
Always conjuring a different flow to maneuver
This is not that week bullshit that you used to
It is more like slick rick return of the ruler
The king of the underground return from the sewer
The game need saving should've been a lot sooner

Let's take it back to the block party era
