Blank Canvas Lyrics by Marcus D

The Lone Wolf LP

2015

Hook: Substantial
It's like a blank canvas with a beautiful frame
No limit to what I can do with the paint
If the sky is the limit the higher we aim
Every journey to the top requires some pain
And though it hurts just a little
It might help the world just a little
Maybe it hurt a whole lot
Then despite of the world so we're never gonna stop

Verse 1: Substantial
Every man is an artist, hey man what yo art is
Grammar or harpist, expanding the harvest
Chantin the change folks demands folks of Congress
Dancin to always making good on a promise
Romancin on gardens, bands are boxin
Band and profit this man's illin problems
Whatever you do, do it grand and beyondish
You're lost in the world if a man is unconscious
My plan is to rock this, planet we're locked in
Stand at the top Rembrandt of this hip hop ish
Post Renaissance man with his accomplice
Known for chopping up dirty samples till they polished
All with the balance are valid and brolick
With the power to leave a pretty palace demolished
Built from the rubble of expanding knowledge of self
And maybe these collabs with Marcus can help

Hook: Substantial
It's like a blank canvas with a beautiful frame (fresh)
No limit to what I can do with the paint (fresh)
If the sky is the limit the higher we aim (fresh)
Every journey to the top requires some pain (fresh)
And though it hurts just a little (fresh)
It might help the world just a little (fresh)
Maybe it hurt a whole lot
Then despite of the world so we're never gonna stop

Verse 2: Substantial
Yo, so raw God told me take a couple of paces and draw
Sketches of pain I've been faced with before
Many try to squeeze they foot up in my axes and walk
See the world through my eyes couldn't paint what I saw
The palette isn't wild enough, maybe he ain't got enough
Of what it takes inside to stimulate thought
Or make the people smart enough or at least liven up
Maybe he ain't tryin but couldn't stay the course
And that's where we come in, when I spat over drum in it's strap well
Feel like pastels on some venom, vivid use to move texture better tell em
This is used to infect your cerebellum or freedom of expression
Fine art no art find for people to express
The opposite is needed when we blessing it when we rockin it
See us in a session, masterpiece is what we droppin kid

Hook: Substantial
It's like a blank canvas with a beautiful frame (fresh)
No limit to what I can do with the paint (fresh)
If the sky is the limit the higher we aim (fresh)
Every journey to the top requires some pain (fresh)
And though it hurts just a little (fresh)
It might help the world just a little (fresh)
Maybe it hurt a whole lot
Then despite of the world so we're never gonna stop

Bridge: Substantial
Meditate to help focus my mind
So we can change the world one stroke at a time
Expose the wicked who pose as divine
But won't admit it when they're cold to my kind
Hope when blind can't stop, won't stop till they're forced to resign
Even when I'm in my prime
I will rise, I know how to climb
This is the spirit from the beginning of what was broke at the time

Hook: Substantial
It's like a blank canvas with a beautiful frame
No limit to what I can do with the paint
If the sky is the limit the higher we aim
Every journey to the top requires some pain
And though it hurts just a little
It might help the world just a little
Maybe it hurt a whole lot
Then despite of the world so we're never gonna stop
(x2)

Outro: Substantial
Never, ever, never, ever, gonna stop
Bop Alloy yo we never gonna stop
Never, ever, never, ever, gonna stop
Substantial yo we never gonna stop
Never, ever, never, ever, gonna stop
Marcus D yo we never gone
What happened?
