Rembrandt

I don’t trust no one
You can take my word for it
I been in no rush
Maybe you can work for it
Cos it’s a jungle out side
How quickly can you run with your hands tied?
We always tripping on these land mines, sorry
Didn’t mean to over analyse…
And I know you have your doubts but I’m not bothered
Hope this songs strong enough for an old novice
Who cares more about profits than the song contents
So obsessed about trends not the song substance
I remember when they told me I was rock bottom
Never rocked collars, told I should forget college
So kill me if I stress about stock options
Or exchange my studio for a posh office, promise
‘Cos I feel the pressure around me
Sometimes it feels like I’m drowning
My eyes on those that surround me
Fell once or twice but who’s counting?
‘Cos I ain’t no Rembrandt
I ain’t no Rembrandt
Cos I ain’t no Rembrandt
But I can turn nothing into something now…
I don’t understand what you’re hyped on
Face glued to that thing that you typed on
Wishing that I had the dimes for a time warp
A few things that I wouldn’t roll the dice on
And I hate to have regrets but I got some
Another way of just displaying what your life wants
Look, I just want a view that I can vibe on
Consume all the things I could never put a price on
Took me twenty years just to figure who I truly was
Another 5 just to kick into the music doors
You ever looked into the mirror with the realest talk?
And said things just to see if you still feel at all?
Instead of looking at yourself you want a crystal ball
Still with every single verse I’m trying to kill them all
I’m trying to tell you that I’m hungry so don’t get it twisted
Grateful like I’m Khaled only blessings for my competition
‘Cos I feel the pressure around me
Sometimes it feels like I’m drowning
My eyes on those that surround me
Fell once or twice but who’s counting?
‘Cos I ain’t no Rembrandt
I ain’t no Rembrandt
Cos I ain’t no Rembrandt
But I can turn nothing into something now…
Bridge:
You can build me up, you can tear me down
Guess you never know, what’s around the corner
Rental car that we tearing round
But you know that we be acting like brought it
Look, ‘cos I’m tired of wondering what I could end up being
End up being, yeah
‘Cos I feel the pressure around me
Sometimes it feels like I’m drowning
My eyes on those that surround me
Fell once or twice but who’s counting?
‘Cos I ain’t no Rembrandt
I ain’t no Rembrandt
Cos I ain’t no Rembrandt
But I can turn nothing into something now…
Struggle to find something that is riveting
Guess I’m busy trying to build up all my dividends
Soon as it goes above a certain BPM
Suddenly I’m selling out, suddenly I’m ‘hipstering'
That’s not a real word but you ain’t listening
As long as the beats trap and it’s glistening
And better if it’s EDM with Bieber on it featuring
As soon as it’s world star suddenly you visiting
‘Cos I ain’t no Rembrandt
I ain’t no Rembrandt
Cos I ain’t no Rembrandt
But you can build me up just to tear me down, now
Cos I ain’t no Rembrandt
But I can turn nothing into something now
Cos I ain’t no Rembrandt
But I can turn nothing into something now…
