Hypnotize - Baba Brinkman

Baba, Baba, Baba, can’t you see

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me

And I just love your turns of phrase

So even though you’re still broke I love you anyway

Sicker than your average;

picture

Any artistic practice, with musicians or actors

Or visual craftsman;

just pick an example

And imagine the competitive advantages

That would come with recognition if you have the gift

Now picture the artist with unlimited cash, and with

Picturesque women always givin' him glances

Or, if you’re picturing a woman, then picture the advances

Of the handsome prince whose attention she catches

Now, picture them livin' happily ever after

And havin' kids faster than Angie and Brad Pitt

All because they have this gift with craftsmanship

Now take it from the master of the adjectives

I think it’s adaptive;

it has to be instinct

In synch with the rhythm, just listen and sink

Deep into the subconscious of the obnoxious

Sexual selection, I’m just tickin' the boxes

And if you’re feelin' it then mission accomplished

Baba, Baba, Baba, can’t you see

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me

And I just love your turns of phrase

So even though you’re still broke, I love you anyway

Yeah, I could fill you with real scientific

Lyrics, but I confess that my mind is twisted

‘Cause I’ve been listenin' to Kanye, Nas and Jay

While reading Richard Dawkins on the opposite page

So now this whole rap thing seems awfully strange

Talkin' ‘bout, «He got game, and he’s not real

And he’s got chains» but wait, that’s a peacock’s tail!

‘Cause you never hear them say they got it cheap on sale

Which means that bling is meant to represent

How much they really spent, and at the end of the day

That’s the definition of a «fitness display»

Like a bowerbird’s nest, which takes hours of work

And makes the females catch a powerful urge

Just like a style of verse or an amazing flow

But it takes dedication and it takes a toll

‘Cause the best displays are unfakeable

Baba, Baba, Baba, can’t you see

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me

And I just love your turns of phrase

So even though you’re still broke, I love you anyway
