Saba & No ID – Every Painting Has a Price Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Uh, uh, uh, uh, look
[Chorus: Saba]
Lovely day to go out my way
To think of you every minute, ayy
Make me question if you appreciate
When it seem you ain’t thinking the same
S*it get ugly, but otherwise I’m fine
Been hiding what others wanna find
‘Cause what if it drove us out our minds?
[Verse: Saba]
I seen all of my heroes become human
I hope that you recognize
Although I live a wild dream, I am not God
Just feel something, anything but indifferent
Some of my clothes designer, some of them b!tches thrifted
My main mission was simple, be listened to
Try to dig deeper like getting an interview
I guess I never took the proper time to introduce
Myself to the many fans and the kindred souls
That resonated with a kid who is
The fly ghetto empath anxious poet
In bright yellow, might bag her without speaking
I’m like anti-social meets outspoken
She said “That’s who helped me more than you know
‘Cause I was on the verge of a manic episode”
I heard her out the best I could, but yo
It’s crazy how many stories people claim that you voicing
I was vocally sober ’til I buried my brothers
They think everything to knock us, God lifted the gutter
When the smoke clear, notice I was still in the buffer
Between being a superstar and being next to the hustle
I made a living off of lessons that I learned from my uncle, yeah
Taught me to see the bigger picture, it come with a price
And I don’t mean trade, like I’m talking ’bout munyuns
But I wouldn’t trade that s*it for nothing
Yeah, ’cause it took some being up late, yeah
What you on, what’s the update?, yeah
Get your fu*king hands up, say it
‘Cause if it’s love here, you must say it
[Bridge: BJ The Chicago Kid]
Like sweet morning dew
Every time I vibe with you
We make it plain to see
This s*it feels like everything
Can I ask more of you?
This is what I’m resorting to
And I ask the same for me
This s*it feel like everything
Like sweet morning dew
Every time I vibe with you
We make it plain to see
This s*it feels like everything
Can I ask more of you?
This is what I’m resorting to
And I ask the same for me
This s*it feel like everything
[Chorus: Saba]
Lovely day to go out my way
To think of you every minute, ayy
Make me question if you appreciate
When it seem you ain’t thinking the same
S*it get ugly, but otherwise I’m fine
Hiding what others wanna find
‘Cause what if it drove us out our minds?
[Outro: Saba & Eryn Allen Kane]
I guess every painting has a price
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
I guess every painting has a price
