Van Gogh
Dag Savage

(feat. Choosey)




[Intro/Hook]

This is you...

This is real...

Listen...

Listen here

Listen here, my friend

Listen here


[Verse 1 - Johaz]

Yea

The black rose on the concrete

Devil’s ducking and hiding when the god speak

The snub nose hit you from a long reach

Building on lessons that Master Farad teach(Ah!)

And all hail the congregation

And how we change the world off a simple conversation

My mind is like a pyramid that shines through observation

And steady getting higher than the stars’ constellation (Yo)

Mama told me there’d be days like this

So I just sit and reminisce while I blaze my spliff

I feel the joy in my heart, but the pain exists

Bow my head for Huey Newton and just raise my fist

You see - and Power to the People cause we lost

And power to the pussy cause it costs

Yall niggas rather fight and f----n floss

I’d rather bust shots at my father

The thought of making dividends

Robbed you of your innocence

Raised in the ignorance

Diploma or Death Certificate

Yo - are you a soldier or a sambo

You listen, I give my ear like I’m Van Gogh


[Hook]

“Are you listening” (Listen)

“Are you listening now, Are you listening now” (Listen here)


“Are your eardrums open” (Listen here my friend)

“Did I get your attention undivided” (Listen here)




[Verse 2 - Choosey]

Listen here, youngin’

Yell in the ear

Whatever goal you’re trying to reach

I want to interfere

See you ain’t listening

I said I want an end of fear

Just for a moment in time

While my vision is clear

They said that sign of the times

Saying the ending is near

How many times we gon’ believe it

Remember the year

1999, then it was 2012

Yeah they conspiring

But why you let your mind dwell

Staying modern, but we can’t control what time tells

So do your times tables, express yourself

‘Cuz many died trying to get us to this time, well

It ain’t perfect, but - we ain’t in line yellin

We shall overcome, who would’ve knew

The fact I’m saying that today is proof

I feel what they meant

Through the civil rights moves

When I write

Pray I send the right message to the youth

They sayin' do the right thing

I'm sayin' let 'em choose

And tell em stay surrounded by the ones who better you

‘Cuz there’s temptation everyday and they facing it

It ain’t bout the bigger picture

It’s who you paint it with


[Hook]

[Outro]

This is you…

This is real…
