Lapiz

[Decora]
Lapiz

I don’t even know how to write this
It’s 4am my mic is on the night shift
My eyes packing bags like they’re righteous
Self-righteous bout to get me some street
Some shut eye with the woman in the white dress
She nice but my flow is the nicest
I don’t have to think so I just am
I don’t have to try just know I can
I’m just kidding it’s my attempt at being cocky
I’m not flashy no need for paparazzi
Too over-exposed they try to copy
But the pen’s mightier than the sword son
Yeah peep the lapiz
Yeah peep the lapiz
That’s Spanish for pen
Yeah that’s Spanish for pen

But it’s not though it’s Spanish for pencil
It’s Spanish for pencil
Damn I had it written right here I had it written right here Spanish for pencil
And I know that
Spanish why’d I say Spanish for pencil

I’ve got family members that don’t even like my songs
I got other ones they don’t even know that I spit
I got fake fans they fake ‘cause they think I’m legit
Well they think I’m legit so eh
People smell fame then they try to milk you for it
But I’m lactose intolerant I don’t give don’t give don’t give give
I don’t give a damn honestly I ain’t got no plans
I just flow like porter
You can call me the tens
I might even unite a kingdom like puffies for bands
Bands make ‘em dance with cheesecake in her hands
Fresh off the brooklyn bridge with the Sandman
No footsteps behind me ‘cause we’re on concrete
This is modern day America can’t get too deep
Gotta seem surface like emerging islands
Gotta stay sur - faced like bottles smiling
Go from Puerto Rico like US Virgin Islands

Can’t believe I did that
Pencil - it’s supposed to be lapiz is
(Just do the chorus)
Yo it’s the lapiz thing it’s just bothering the hell out of me
Lapiz I said it’s not boligrafo

Album got pushed like five times
Back to the future no Delorean
No release date no Gregorian calendar to change, huh
What was meant to
Car crash now I’m driving up in a rental
Life shaping up yeah grab a stencil
Grab a pencil
Grab a utensil
I eat you eat we all break bread
Break dance homie now we all club net
Separate hotel rooms we all got beds
No sleeping on the tour bus
Window shopping in the mall like we’re tourists
It feels good that we can afford us
Basic necessities like a mortgage
Got a house with a crib
Got my son a dollhouse with a baby crib
(You got your son a dollhouse?)
Chick can I live

I just want I just want to apologize for all my friends
Because see I actually speak Spanish
I went to in Puerto Rico
So I know that lapiz is pencil and boligrafo is pen
But I mean not many people say boligrafo
You know what I mean it’s too many syllables
So that’s why I said lapiz in the beginning
But you know I meant it’s Spanish for pencil
You know my grandmothers last name is - I used to live right in the center of Puerto-
I speak Spanish
I’m bilingual I don’t want you to discredit me
My name is Decora - from the heart
I know that lapiz
I know that lapiz is pencil
Lapiz
