Picasso Baby
JAY Z Lyrics

I just want a Picasso, in my casa
I want a piece of art by Picasso in my house.

No, my castle
Correction, I meant to say castle not house.

I'm a hassa, no I'm a asshole
I can be difficult to work with, but ultimately, I am in charge.

I'm never satisfied, can't knock my hustle
I am constantly working and striving for more, no one can criticize my work ethic.

I wanna Rothko, no I wanna brothel
Actually, I want a Rothko painting, but then again, I would also like a brothel.

No, I want a wife that fuck me like a prostitute
I want a partner who gives me the same kind of passion and excitement as a prostitute would.

Let's make love on a million, in a dirty hotel
Let's have passionate sex on top of one million dollars, in a seedy hotel room.

With the fan on the ceiling, all for the love of drug dealing
The fan on the ceiling is there to cover up the smell of drugs, but it is all worth it for the love of money and power.

Marble floors, gold ceilings
I want luxurious and expensive materials for the floors and ceilings of my space.

Oh what a feeling, fuck it, I want a billion
The feeling of having money and power is so good, but I want even more - a billion dollars.

Jeff Koons balloons, I just wanna blow up
I want Jeff Koons' balloon art, and I want to be as successful and well-known as he is.

Condos in my condos, I wanna row of Christie's with my missy, live at the MoMA
I want multiple condos inside one larger condo, and I want to have a row of art pieces at Christie's auction house with my partner, while living at the MoMA museum.

Bacons and turkey bacons, smell the aroma
I can smell the delicious aroma of both regular bacon and turkey bacon.

It ain't hard to tell, I'm the new Jean Michel
It's obvious to see that I am the new Jean Michel Basquiat.

Surrounded by Warhols, my whole team ball
I am surrounded by artwork by Andy Warhol, and my entire team is successful and wealthy.

Twin Bugattis outside the Art Basel
I have two Bugatti cars outside the Art Basel event.

I just wanna live life colossal
I want to live a life of grandeur and extravagance.

Leonardo DaVinci flows, Riccardo Tisci Givenchy clothes
My fashion and art sense is elite and inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci and Riccardo Tisci.

See me throning at the Met, vogueing on these niggas
Watch me rule and be idolized at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, while flaunting my fashion sense.

Champagne on my breath, yes
I can smell the alcohol on my own breath.

House like the Louvre or the Tate Modern
I want my house to look like the Louvre or the Tate Modern museum.

Because I be going ape at the auction
I go crazy at art auctions because I have the money to buy whatever I want.

Aw fuck it I want a trillion
Actually, I want one trillion dollars instead of just one billion.

Sleeping every night next to Mona Lisa
I literally sleep next to the famous painting, Mona Lisa.

The modern day version, with better features
I compare myself to the modern day version of Mona Lisa, but with better features.

Yellow Basquiat in my kitchen corner
I have a yellow Basquiat painting in the corner of my kitchen.

Go ahead lean on that shit, Blue, you own it
Feel free to lean on my Basquiat painting, Blue, because you own it and it adds to the atmosphere.

I never stuck my cock in the fox's box but, damned if I ain't open Pandora's box
I've never partaken in that kind of lewd behavior, but I've opened myself up to other controversial things.

They try to slander your man, on CNN and Fox
The media tries to bring me down and give me negative attention on news outlets.

My Mirandas don't stand a chance, with cops
My expensive and high-end shoes won't protect me from cops, even with their connections.

Even my old fans like old man just stop
Even my long-time supporters are tired of my antics and want me to stop.

I could if I would but I can't, I'm hot, and you blow
I have the ability to do many things, but right now, I'm too busy and important to focus on anything other than myself. You, on the other hand, are insignificant in comparison.

I'm still the man to watch, Hublot on my left hand or not
Regardless of whether or not I have a Hublot wristwatch on my left hand, people will still watch and follow me because I am a powerful and influential presence.

Soon I step out the booth, the cameras pops niggas is cool with it, till the canons pop
As soon as I step out of a recording booth, cameras start taking pictures. People are okay with it until they hear gunshots from a shooting.

Now my hand on the Bible, on the stand, got your man in a jam, again
I have my hand on the Bible as I swear to tell the truth during court, and it has caused issues for people in my life once again.

Got my hands in cuff, I'm like goddamn enough
I am arrested and in handcuffs, and I am getting fed up with it.

I put down the cans and they ran amuck
I put down my spray cans, and they caused chaos.

My hairpin pierce skin, ruptures spleens, cracks ribs, go through cribs, and other things
My hairpin is so sharp and strong that it can even pierce skin, break spleens and ribs, and even go through cribs.

No sympathy for the king, huh? Niggas even talk about your baby crazy
I am the king and have no sympathy for me when people talk badly about me or my baby.

Eventually the pendulum swings, don't forget America this how you made me
Eventually the way things work will come full circle, and America should not forget that they are responsible for creating and enabling people like me.

Come through with the 'Ye mask on, spray everything like SAMO
I will come through wearing a mask and spray paint everything like the famous artist, SAMO.

I won't scratch the Lambo, what's it gon take for me to go? For you to see I'm the modern day Pablo
I won't damage my luxury sports car, but what do I have to do for you to recognize me as the modern-day Pablo Picasso?

Picasso baby
Repeat of the hook, I am still in pursuit of the lifestyle and reputation of Picasso.
