Pete Wurthy - Artist 1st, Emcee 2nd Lyrics

Y'all rockin' with me right
Uh
Been at it since the turn of the century
But will the historians acknowledge me
If you been down since 01 take a seat
And listen to a man who's clearly chasing destiny
The canvas that I'm painting ons invisible
Moving beyond mediums with messages critical
Hoping my seed transcends beyond presence
Physical, supply miracles with hip hop minerals
If that's abstract let me paint finer
I hope you're wearing glasses cuz here comes the blinders
My manuscript contain luminous info that could
Nourish your kinfolk, generations removed via temples
Wont stop till my work recognized as rare form
My glare scorns like a hailstorm til they mourn
Idiotic comments that I'll fall like a comet
I disinfect these kids like Comet, while they vomit
Wurth been preferred since the rise of palm pilots
I'll calm riots with my thunder tongue and you'll like it
This masterpiece my master thesis, my home base
About face for my lyrically crafted showcase
Spillin' more heat than torched North Face fabrics
I'll stifle all static with dramatic beast automatic
All the skeptics staying silent, they're in tacet
Literally in awe witnessing my verbal magic
My rhyme's the primer, pen stroke the cleanest
The Bob Ross of rap because I'm nice and a genius
Hold up the beat on my easel - with rap I'm ill
Whether deckling edges or going in for the kill
My main mission succinct and I know what I shall do
Music is my gift to y'all no cash value
I rap for art's sake even when it ain't pleasant
Cuz I'm an artist first, emcee second
The Mt. Rushmore of flow, is my goal
I'm gonna take a shot like assault rifles
Damn trolls wanna say the South no good
But I rock with the best and the best understood that
Artistic innovation my aspiration
And one Wurthy verse an aesthetic vacation
Reparations to the rap game, still got the wrench
Life is my lady friend, yeah she my wench
The illest cat to touch the mic mechanism
Rockin' the crowd stronger than a natural cataclysm
I catch the peace whack emcees catch an aneurysm
A glutton for dealing with pain call it masochism
With strong wit, my style impressionistic
My flow texture's lush, ain't I impressive wit it
There's riches in the niches what more can I say
My craft sells so Pete gon’ get mo'nay while he Monet - aye
My rhyme's the primer, pen stroke the cleanest
The Bob Ross of rap because I'm nice and a genius
Hold up the beat on my easel - with rap I'm ill
Whether deckling edges or going in for the kill
My main mission succinct and I know what I shall do
Music is my gift to y'all no cash value
I rap for art's sake even when it ain't pleasant
Cuz I'm an artist first, emcee second
My rhyme's the primer, pen stroke the cleanest
The Bob Ross of rap because I'm nice and a genius
Hold up the beat on my easel - with rap I'm ill
Whether deckling edges or going in for the kill
My main mission succinct and I know what I shall do
Music is my gift to y'all no cash value
I rap for art's sake even when it ain't pleasant
Cuz I'm an artist first, emcee second
