lirik lagu samy sharif - michelangelo

[refrain]
okay, okay
stone
to flesh
it’s like the statue of david just took his first breath

[verse 1]
a brick of marble
five feet wide and ten feet tall
alone in a concrete room, four candles on the wall
there’s no roof so you can contemplate the stars
you got a rock and chisel surgically attached to both of your arms
you’re a sculptor with a lifetime to envision what this life will be
consider your approach and picture what you want to achieve
and time is on your side, there’s no reward for speed
nervous ’cause you’ve seen the michelangelos and da vincis

you start at the head
and the head says that beauty hangs at the border of focus and boredom
and that the mind draws the fine line between how we experience moments and how we record them
and that memory is important
i chisel the cheeks, i smooth the eyes
marble windows that’ll never die
i shape the lips, i take my time
have you ever seen the face of father time?
no, neither have i
but i think i knew a guy that might
[refrain]
stone
to flesh
it’s like the statue of david just took his first breath

[verse 2]
see, you move to the neck
and the neck rests under the head’s stress but supports it nonetheless, because that’s what it does best
got to let pros be pros, lord knows
that’s what my father always said

shape the collar bones like i~beams
and then you move to the chest
and the chest says that what the head says ain’t always the best bet
and i’m a romantic so i tend to agree
etch the ribcage like prison bars, call it the heart’s house of peace
give it sp~ce to think on the crimes it wouldn’t dare to repeat

move to the gut, the only thing you can trust
the only thing that tethers us to who we are, will be, and was
instinct is hard to depict
but if i carve carefully enough i reckon it would look something like this

move to the hips, then shape the d~ck
what a perfect d~ck
my god, would you look at it, have you ever seen a more beautiful d~ck?
it’s like, look at my d~ck!
i mean, i’m so sorry, look at the~ the statue’s d~ck, not mine, not my d~ck~ it’s the statue’s (look at the d~ck, look at the d~ck, look at the d~ck)
i’m so sorry
[refrain]
stone
to flesh
it’s like the statue of david just took his first breath

[verse 3]
see, you move to the thighs, get the muscles just right
all of that horsepower and drive
then you move to the feet pressed against the concrete, catch the details ’cause the miles weren’t cheap

i carve so carefully
i make the stone heart beat, blood pumpin’ through the veins and the marble arteries
then the stone turn to flesh, it’s just kind of hard to see
but the hand of an artist hardly moves harmlessly
i carve and i carve until my arms fall asleep and my fingers bleed

and then the statue breathes and i step back only to see that the statue i’ve been carving looks exactly like me
realized i spent my life carving out who i’ll be instead of just being me, or whatever that means
maybe it’s the journey, maybe that’s the thing
the marble is a vessel that my soul’s inhabiting
maybe we all got a michelangelo buried within

[refrain]
stone
to flesh
it’s like the statue of david just took his first breath
