Текст песни Artist - Jsteezzy

Moment of silence
For all of my homies back home
I heard they keep killing the gang
I heard they keep gunning em down
Them niggas was smart and had hidden they talent and others now all of gone
Immortalized in this song
This one for all the lost dogs

I'm finding yah tag homie
And no lost and found homie
You wanna get out of Chicago you gotta go make that sound homie
We are truly gifted by the angles the spirits who guide us through this universe
They gave gift of music that natural talent and the skills necessary to spit clever verse
I'm never a rat but I need cheddar first
I'm grinding with hunger this sounding of thirst
I'm more than a rapper who rap bout Chicago
And life in the ghetto like it was rehearsed
I don't need no pawner to tell me my worth
Yet my words are healing my peers and others
My spirit guide said imma natural healer
That's one of the reasons on here on this earth
See I

Am an artist
See I am an artist
I'm more than some average rapper
More than the music that's getting me out there
I
Am an artist
And No ones gonna take my art from me
I'm putting in my heart you feel it
I'm putting in my all you see
It's hard for me to keep on going
Doubt if they hear me
I just wanna make music
There's no one else that I can be but

An artist more than a motherfuckin rapper who making good music
And getting more hits than a motherfuckin target
Come on in nigga we gotta lil bargain
We selling out souls pick one that you like
You betta chose wisely aint no picking twice
There ain't no return only an exchange
You want this big life gotta give yours to pay
Nah
I'm done with the hiding
Done with silence and closing my mouth every time I know that sum ain't right
Imma just yell out wit sum power no need to be rude
They teaching us shit that we don't even need
Call that shit education enforcing they school
They teachin bout history they done just made up
You learning bout lies off that pick and choose
Program us the same don't let pick and choose
The land of the freedom you can't pick and choose
They tell us to vote saying that my shit matter
While knowing damn well that shit just pick and choose
Having a dream gotta pick and choose
Wanna live life in debt or just being you
Work 9-5 be miserable or live a short life do want you to
I'd rather be

An artist
An artist

Cause an artist has all the freedom they want
All of the freedom they need
All of the people that crowd planet earth no matter where from can be artist you see
Art is the meaning of hope
Art is the meaning of whatever you need it to be
Art is the vessel of freedom of speech
You can't confine art it has limitless reach
Rather say I am an artist so my heart can go places I hope I can see
My art form is music my genre is rapping
I am a rap artist plus I'm 17
From the south of the city we call it Chicago
A place where an artist can live out they dream
Just pray you can make it with action gon take you
Into a mind state when you finally see
An artist

Am an artist
See I am an artist
I'm more than some average rapper
More than the music that's getting me out there
I
Am an artist
And No ones gonna take my art from me
I'm putting in my heart you feel it
I'm putting in my all you see
It's hard for me to keep on going
Doubt if they hear me
I just wanna make music
There's no one else that I can be but
