[length: 03:32]
[00:10.69]I like drawing pigeons
[00:11.70]People tend to feed ’em or forbid ’em
[00:13.58]Either way it’s rare to see ’em individually considered
[00:16.79]There’s always like a million eating cigarettes and ketchup
[00:19.36]I take a lot pictures, I been cropping out the extras
[00:22.24]I been studying the independent measurements and metrics
[00:25.49]The postures and the body types, the patterns on the feathers
[00:28.05]Like some ritualistic tattoo dating back to their ancestors
[00:31.21]While the bib and neck come dipped in precious amethyst and emeralds
[00:34.99]It’s a pity about the stigmas
[00:37.05]How the cooties overshadow any beauty that enrich us
[00:39.93]A white dove symbolizes peace and pacifism
[00:42.83]A white dove is a pigeon, you muffugas is bigots
[00:46.05]Yo, 3 toes forward, one toe ain’t
[00:48.68]1 AM sketching muscles on a plump little frame
[00:51.54]Plus I love your pretty orange eyes and dumb little brain
[00:54.49]I’ll add a nimbus to atone for how we sullied the name
[01:04.05]Phone, wallet, coffee, keys, lighter
[01:06.45]I’m headed for the beyond, I’m a need a cease fire
[01:15.80]Lighter, keys, coffee, wallet, phone
[01:18.19]The whole street is lava, the beyond is not a go
[01:21.06]I seen this one Da Vinci exhibit
[01:23.94]In which they reconstructed dozens of machines he invented
[01:26.51]From diagrams in his codex, open and beautifully scanned
[01:29.73]Marvels of engineering, broke up by Vitruvian Man
[01:32.47]Margin exploding with the future like it grew from his hand
[01:35.55]Plus every annotation backwards, homie, who is this man?
[01:38.45]I bet his brain projected images of orbiting equations
[01:41.31]That would later become warships, or attempts at aviation
[01:44.36]Or some irrigation system steering water different places
[01:47.50]He could picture and commit to paper from a grip of angles
[01:50.90]Honestly it’s pretty overwhelming
[01:53.27]Contraption after contraption that had us “holy hell”-ing
[01:56.69]Later in the afterglow, grab a tablet, have a go
[01:59.37]I might invent some vehicle, or diving suit, or catapults, or…
[02:02.83]Fast forward to the morning
[02:05.12]I had caught a thousand tags and drew a half a pigeon poorly, oh well
[02:14.47]Phone, wallet, coffee, keys, lighter
[02:16.56]I’m headed for the beyond, I’m a need a cease fire
[02:25.64]Lighter, keys, coffee, wallet, phone
[02:28.17]The whole street is lava, the beyond is not a go
[02:31.37]
[02:43.02]I told my homie I had drew some pigeons
[02:45.97]And was feeling like it could be the root of future submissions
[02:48.78]It’d be cool to draw a thousand and layout a book of sketches
[02:51.77]He said “how many you got?” I said “like 6 or 7″…
[02:55.15]’What?!’ He said “a thousand is a lot”
[02:57.24]I said “that’s why it’s gotta be an actual thousand on the dot
[03:00.44]I hit ’em with that thousand to make up for what they not
[03:03.30]Once you mix that many bodies it becomes about the flock.”
[03:06.29]He told me “if you do it, its a cruise to manufacture”
[03:09.44]I took it as a challenge, but regretted it soon after
[03:12.20]See the point was always celebrate the individual vessel
[03:15.04]That I pitched a package deal at all is pretty disrespectful
[03:19.49]Plus a thousand is a lot
[03:21.11]Sometimes I get excited before really sizing up the job
[03:23.86]I think I drew like one more on a red-eye into Queens
[03:27.05]I ain’t even make a dozen, I been eyeing other things
