Abstract Art (Radio Edit) ft. Smif-N-Wessun 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 weak weak 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 Uh

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

_____ 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
