Description: Notes: My most inspired lyric. I get giddy when I imagine the ‘70s style cartoon cagematch tv special of it all. The chorus had lived on a post it note (with a beaver on it) since ‘95 before it finally was sung here. The height of my drawing frenzy.

lyrics

So I checked in
with little haste
Caught my green flowin’ dotin’
Getting’ ya goin’ to waste
Cuz I’m a smooth flowin feline
Cube a block
Slippery weighted line
Like I was painted by Braque

The wherewithal to say the line
To have the gall to make the rhyme

Braques no Picasso
Me and my muchacho
Jackie O
Soppin’ pink pistachio
Don’t you know it’s me
Don’t you know it’s alright
The Kennedys and the Cubists
Are ready to fight.

I’ve been drawin’ and-a drawin’
And a drawin’ all night
I’ll be drawin’ and-a drawin’
‘til my drawin’ looks right.

I’ve been drawin’ and-a drawin’
And a drawin’ all night
The Kennedys and the Cubists
Are ready to fight.
