Pablo Picasso

[emilbusman]

i recommend going back and reading some of the argument between these two dudes on this videos comment, if you're drunk its some funny whiny ass shit

[Lifeandtimesofstevin]

This song is called Mr. Officer. Not Pablo Picasso

[bouf]

@Lifeandtimesofstevin ummm noo lol, it's called Pablo Picasso

[StefyLeblanc]

looooooooooove this song ♥

[123456cheerio]

people their website says that this song is about heroine... :)

[LASHONER73]

i fucking love this song. doooooope

[Vampiregirl10198]

The song is about a homeless man who is in love with a painting, and the police are taking the painting down, and he is standing up for "his love" who is the painting.

[rideordie40]

You are correct about the bum but if u really fallow the song at the end he says "They say that a wild man defending his lady

But for some odd reason they keep calling you a painting" so im almost garentee hes talking about himself as a bum and hes talking about his art on the wall and about the cops taking it down.

[Kyleboy337]

I heard this is about his love for a girl that is completely out of his league hence the 40 ft tall painting etc... The whole coming to take the painting is refereing to the girl's family, which they decide he's not good enough for her. He protest he will defend his love violently. I've actually heard many thoughts on this song. However, the "delusional bum" seems a bit odd to me. CC always seems to refer to love, getting high or peace..lol no bum..

[Ucfspencer]

"everywhere i go, people hand me quarters. they pat me on the back, they treat me like im famous.... i never leaver her side....." that indicates he is homeless/poor and doesn't realize it, aka "he's off his rocker" lol

[devineso]

This song is about getting high. It's about getting high and loving it, about living with all the crazy sh*t that happens when you are strung out.

[croninlaw]

Exactly....a delusional bum

[comment1301]

fuck you, hes one of the greatest artists of our time, so again fuck u, because i would love to see u find someone who has half as much talent as this "dilusional bum"

[ahry1]

The song is about a bum who is in love with a woman on billboard and wont let them take her down.

[sportpedmikey]

Alright thank god. My friends tried convincing me this song was about my mom because she had an affair with Clarance.

[shaker1994]

The song is called Pablo Picasso, and its about Pablo Picasso.

[YOSOYLIONEL]

¡¡¡That good video, men!!!

[WatashiaiNeji]

this is Mr. Officer

[sportpedmikey]

No its not. That guy that your mom is banging is Mr. Officer

[WatashiaiNeji]

dont need to be rude, i just grew up hearing that this was Mr. Officer, thats all

[borange21]

so um is this called mr. officer or pablo picasso??

[WatashiaiNeji]

Mr. Officer

[LogInAnders]

This song is clearly called Pablo Picasso by Citizen Cope. I don't why Neji wants to tell a lie. I don't undersand why people argue so much below me. I don't belong to this world.

[slicksap]

i thought it was the mona lisa

[commandoism]

its a homeless guy that is in love with a billboard ad

[bigvanillatree]

ur right man...thas exactly what the song is about

[mtb416]

the mural at 1:11 is incredible

[sack1796]

SkillCapeProductions - I'm pretty sure he's talking about The Statue of Liberty. Don't talk our liberty away or someone's leaving in a stretcher. haha love it

[TheBookofD]

i love this song so much! sideways and penitentiary are great too!

[Dystopian25]

I love playing devils advocate. You've spelled the word mural wrong. It's not "murel". Great song. Incorrect spelling mars everything. It looks ugly and uninspired, a disservice to the song and yourself.

Take care.

[milicoha]

Feed the anarchy within you!

Also conform, to be recognised as a rebel.

[uhwot]

i love to argue over youtube videos! i think it really pronounces my character in a way that makes people think i'm a real go-getter.

[SkillCapeProductions]

what painting is this about?

great song

[AmicusClothing]

Check out the Citizen Cope painting on my channel! and please subscribe, comment, rate, all that good stuff. peace!

[skiesphlegmzorz]

@ the comments: Wall of texts are my favorite.

[lchockey396]

This song is just simply the best. Freaking awesome

[AngelaWilkins919]

my guess....He is ana old ,crazy Bum that is Inlove with the woman on the BIG signs...like in N.Y....So,he's causiING Shit and he is willing to defend her by whatever means..."BUT FOR SOME ODD REASON THEY CALL YOU A PAINTING"...

[SnoopALoop]

What does it mean???

[wereallidiots]

how can anyone not love this song? of course, i know it's possible, but, i mean, you're here- listen to it... this has got to be the coolest song off of this album. at least in my humble opinon. not that it beats tracks 7 or 5 for best song. "and i don't know how else to say, in a different way- why don't you- just- fade away?" ah, absolutely beautiful and brilliant. such a rare treat of a combination...

[nixaten]

Getting high to this song must be badass

Show some rastah love, and pass that shit.

[CrimsonXaphan]

is there another title for this song? because i tried to dl this and i got some other gay song

[fallen33]

Try buying the album, or at least buying the song off iTunes or something.

[BanksBitch]

yo mike these people are interntet herbs are we burning tonight?

[sportpedmikey]

LMFAO!!!Fuck yea dude. mad funny

[sportpedmikey]

Everyone is like trying to dig deep into the meaning of this track. I personally find it funny you guys do that haha Just repect the track and leave it at that

[8011051turd]

this song is awesome!!!

[ballers47]

or you guys could stop whining and enjoy the song

[yourmomas93]

my favorite song by citizen cope

[cclojr4567]

same here

[bo77ier]

everyone has their own version of reality... even when we listen to music, with definite lyrics, we still only hear what we want.

[kczartor]

this song is the true story about a bum that was schizo and he fell in love with a woman on a billboard... he's singing like he was the bum talking to the officers

[turkmestic]

me gusto esta cancion...super buena!!!

[OmGiTzNiCk]

can someone suggest me any songs of this kind with the same flow and all please :)

[scu02]

I have to agree with lyrikkz comment but would like to add as well that I believe the song is about a guy who has created a drawing/graffiti on the sidewalk or wall. As people admire his creation, they give him money and pats on the back for the good job he has done. He is stating that he will protect his masterpiece as well and if anyone tries to destroy it (Mr Officer/law), he will fight to keep it safe.

[OmGiTzNiCk]

might be true cuz it connects to a meaning of Pablo Picasso as an artist and also the video shows alot of drawing/graffitis

[lyrikkz]

i should have worded that different,

.. its got two meanings,

weed and a MURAL.

[lyrikkz]

its got two meanings,

a painting,

and weed.

[compassionftb]

not even close to weed, but id like to hear how u came up with that

[lyrikkz]

okay, this is my opinion, so don't argue.-- I'll never leave her side 'Cause due dates can be dangerous ??? what do you think that means?? lol drugs. And everywhere i go People hand me quarters.. Quarters..of? weed? Mr.Officer if you've come to take her Her=mary?? She's a movie star She's all in the papers, Papers, NOT newspapers. ----

[compassionftb]

you tried to say peace is pot but with that logic anything could be anything, he is homeless so he obviously leads a hectic life living on city streets. you say the line about her knowing shes not crazy but that falls in with the woman that is 40 feet tall billboard, which is painfully obvious

[lyrikkz]

AGAIN, this is my opinion, Dont get

on here just to argue.

[wereallidiots]

where did it say he was homeless? people often lead hectic lives without being homeless, and with anger issues, being ready to fight anyone, a man putting his woman up on a pedestal, looking up to her like that- she doesn't have to be a billboard, the song is pretty open to interpretation just from hearing it. that's what's painfully obvious.

[compassionftb]

but for some odd reason THEY'RE CALLING YOU A PAINTING, 40 FEET TALL. gf girlfriend

[wereallidiots]

a painting, huh, i never heard that in it, i thought it was pain and or something, but i can surely see how that could be heard and may indeed be what he says. it definitely doesn't seem that he's talking about weed, of that i'm fairly certain. why would an officer come to take down a billboard though?

[compassionftb]

yah idk,but theres a reference to a crazy many defending his lady so they might just be trying to take him away, idk

[wereallidiots]

it sounded like "today can be dangerous" to me. and where did you get the idea that having an opinion meant that someone else with an opinion couldn't share theirs with you in a friendly argument. i'd much rather someone argue with me than give me an order. you must smoke a lot of weed to be so fixated. except you didn't know that weed wouldn't all be in papers, when so many people smoke it out of bowls, bongs, and blunts as well, shrug.

[lyrikkz]

Okay so just because i made a comment about

weed doesn't mean i smoke it dumbass

[wereallidiots]

"a" comment? maybe you should learn to count before calling anyone else a dumbass. or maybe you just have trouble with the english language, so in case you don't know, the word "a" indicates 1 as does a noun that isn't made plural, and comment is one of those words that isn't both plural and singular, and my comment was indicating that you are fixated on weed, you've made several comments about it, and if you knew how to read, you'd see that i suggested either possibility.

[rusboarder]

Are you serious? Your giving English grammar lessons on youtube? Based off your comment, I can find reasons that you didn't pass high school.

Give me a break dude, get over your small and self-righteous world

[wereallidiots]

um, no. i was defending myself. is that ok with you? do i need your permission in my small world? i think i have the right to defend myself- especially when being accused of something i didn't even do. perhaps not to such an illiterate as lyrikkz, but i clearly indicated both the possibility that this clown either smoked too much weed, or was pontificating about something he knew next to nothing about. and is it suddenly a crime to know how to communicate clearly and be generous enough to share?

[wereallidiots]

i can find reasons in your comment that you make assumptions you can't back up, but i'm humble enough not to presume such a thing- so what are these reasons that i didn't pass high school that you can find in a youtube comment? i mean, especially since this isn't a test, or is this a pop quiz, teach? educate me son on how it's not important to know how to use the language in which you are communicating. even if it's unnecessary to use perfect grammar, it's rather useful to know how to read.

[rusboarder]

Exactly, posting YouTube comments is not a test, so stop bitching about how other people write. You get the general idea of what he is trying to say, and the way you defend yourself is to bitch about the way he writes?

Your self-righteous, which is something both you and I can agree with.

[wereallidiots]

if i shouldn't be bitching about how other people write, then you shouldn't be bitching at me either, so you've obviously more self-righteous than i am. so stfu. & the point was, the general idea of what he had to say was inaccurate about what i had to say. the point was, he doesn't know how to read, because he didn't get the general idea of what i had to say, & apparently you didn't either, because my point is, if you don't know how to read, then don't comment on anything. and no i don't agree

[wereallidiots]

i mean seriously man, you're trying to tell me how to live my life, and then presume to tell me that i'm self-righteous...? have you ever thought about intensive psychotherapy? because that is some serious defensive projection going on there. i doubt you'll learn much about that stuff unless you get some therapy- which wouldn't be a bad idea (see i'm reiterating things since they seem difficult for you to absorb), because it would be a waste of pretty much everyone's time if you went to college.

[wereallidiots]

all i'm saying rusboarder is, that as we could all stand to learn a lot and all seem to have way too much trouble doing so, i am an idiot, but you and your friend lyrikks or whatever it was make me look like a bleeding genius, and it's people like you who make this world a dumber, more agonizingly frustrating world to live in for decent people who actually try to make good sense. is it really such a bad thing to try to make good sense and to wish others would try as well? no don't answer, please

[rusboarder]

Ok chill...you didn't have to write an essay to prove whatever point your trying to make...this world is "agonizingly frustrating"...because people have bad grammar or don't know how to read? Haha, are you really suffering that much?

[wereallidiots]

once again, you're wrong, obviously i did need to "write an essay" because you weren't sharp enough to grasp it without it. and you still didn't get it! once again, no, it isn't agonizingly frustrating because people have bad grammar, it's because you simply don't try, and it isn't about grammar, it's about communication, which is obviously lost on you. it's because too many people are disgusting discompassionate ingrates such as yourself.

[rusboarder]

Are you done bitching?

You can give me the title as being an ingrate, stupid, psychotic, uncompassionate (pretty sure discompassionate isn't a word) and ignorant all you want...but it leads nowhere.

I see why you are so frustrated, because you get all pissy over things that really don't matter.

I "simply don't try", don't try in what circumstances? What the fuck are you talking about?

If I have such a hard time grasping certain concepts, then why argue with me?

Bored?

[wereallidiots]

that's actually a question you should be asking yourself, because you're the one who started bitching at me (haha! ever use a dictionary before?) where is your bitching leading you? things do matter, people not trying makes a huge difference, if it weren't for people like you, the republican party wouldn't even exist. this has been an exercise in futility. even though you don't try, i'm still willing to try to nudge you out of your apathy. you started this bs, so what's your motivation? bored?

[wereallidiots]

and by the way, counting is a completely different subject than grammar, i believe it would fall under math. are you on drugs, or just plain stupid?

[wereallidiots]

i don't need you to tell me what i don't need to do. i mean, you didn't need to be a self-righteous prick, but that didn't stop you... you don't have to be the scum of humanity- taking pleasure in others' pain or misfortune. you don't have to be a moron, but you're satisfied being an ignoramus who does not seek to better himself, so if you're just going to jerk off, please, don't try to bring me into it, ok? that's just gross.

[rusboarder]

You have too much time on your hands to bitch about nonsense. This all started when you bitched at some guy over nonsensical bullshit, I called you out on it, and then you pulled me into it.

I am done, there is no point in having an intelligent argument with you because you can't defend yourself without trying to insult the guy you are arguing with.

Don't waste your time and respond with three full comments in which you, for some reason, need to get your point across.

peace

[wereallidiots]

you think it takes me much time to compose this stuff? and it's been impossible to have an intelligent argument with you. you started by insulting me, i mean, seriously, are you really that delusional? and you insult yourself with your pathetically sad comments that don't even make good sense. don't waste all of our time by thinking that anything you have to say is anything more than worthless. and don't think you can attack someone and then be all like "peace" you're an insult to the genome.

[wereallidiots]

you even referred to yourself as nonsense!!! man! they don't teach you kids anything in highschool these days, do they? i wouldn't have to bitch about you if you weren't such a self-righteous bitch. it really baffles me how you can be so absolutely stupid, but i'm just glad i get to live out the rest of my life not having to be you, but i can understand how you'd be upset being cursed like that. and it wouldn't take three or more comments to dissect your crap if there weren't so many holes in it

[rusboarder]

Feel better about yourself? Alright, good.

later

[wereallidiots]

no, not really, i do however feel a lot worse about you and the education system in this country. and that's pretty sad, because i already knew it was pathetic, but you've opened my eyes to the fact that it's a much bigger problem than i thought. and what ever happened to being done? and btw, if you seriously have such an underdeveloped vocabulary, you shouldn't try to goad people into fights. psychotherapy is for people who have problems, y'know, with a psychologist. not just psychos...

[rusboarder]

You really don't stop, do you? If things are really as bad as they seem, then become a politician and fix all the discrepancies in society that bother you so much. You're influencing no one on here.

One or two weeks of you trying to insult me should be enough.

Seriously dude, I am done here, peace.

[kraig300]

wow 1-2 weeks sorry but thats sad

[rusboarder]

Yeah

[wereallidiots]

why are you agreeing? you're the reason this started and the reason it has continued because you have continued to insult me and not apologize for starting this, and you're a complete moron and you don't realize when you've been outwitted. that's nothing of which to be proud. i wouldn't be back here responding to your nonsense again if you hadn't replied to my comments again. please, see a counselor- do something to help yourself in real life, because this is obviously not helping you mature.

[rusboarder]

Why the fuck should I apologize to you? This argument, or whatever you want to call it has been going on for so long. I don't know where you find the time to write 3000 words to me every single time I respond to you. Get a life. I am not even going to read the rest of the bull shit you wrote. It is a waste of my time, and you are a huge waste of my time.

Later

[wereallidiots]

=) the funny thing is that even though you claim that i'm a waste of your time, you ended that with "later" as though you expect to address me again. to answer your question, an apology is in order because you attacked me first and have been incredibly rude. i don't expect an apology- you don't seem to be an honorable person. and if your time is so important, why were you wasting it reading youtube comments and attacking me for defending myself. if you don't have the time, don't start nonsense.

[wereallidiots]

ah, i can't resist. just because i've written more than you doesn't mean it didn't take me half as long to do so as your comment took you. and if i need to get a life, then why is it you that replies like immediately? and why are you pointing out that a little light reading is too tiring for you and frustrates you so? ah, nevermind, i stand no chance of getting a decent answer from you. and for your sake, don't blame me for wasting your time when you do such a complete job of it yourself.

[wereallidiots]

ah, don't let him fool you, he may have started this a month ago, but really i think this is only the eighth time (and not the entire day of course) now that i've responded to this moron- i just wait several days- yet somehow i'm the one with too much time on my hands, and the really sad thing is that he could have saved himself so much trouble if he'd just have backed off and corrected his mistake when he first found he'd posted a stupid comment, though i'm not sure he's even realized it yet.

[rusboarder]

Blah blah blah. Stop trying to explain yourself, to why it appears you have no life. "I just wait several days, and then I unleash my words", haha fucking dumbass.

Funny thing is, I don't even read the nonsensical bullshit you write, especially when I see I received three comments from you. I just read one of them. Unlike you, I don't put that much time and effort to things that won't matter in a few days.

[wereallidiots]

eureka! you're one of what they call "dumb jocks" or someone else so popular in high school but whose life won't ever go anywhere afterward... that's why you're acting like you're still there, like it's cool to be an apathetic loser, and handing out empty insults that don't mean anything in the real world... "get a life man..." -unlike me, you don't care about anything, even your own life, or else you'd have better things to do than be a prick online, and a pathetically bad one at that.

[rusboarder]

I am a dumb jock and was really popular in high school...but because of that, my life is going nowhere?

Wow, that's a really stupid observation.

I just realized your 28, I seriously thought I was arguing with someone my age or younger.

Educated much?

[wereallidiots]

do you get up every morning and huff gasoline?your life is obviously going nowhere, because you act proud to be an ignorant apathetic loser. that act doesn't work in the real world, but teeny-boppers like it. but since you're apparently incapable of learning, i doubt you'll realize that real life isn't like highschool nor how to shift from that pathetic obnoxious gear, so your life will only get worse and worse... that's what told me you were a dumb jock, not the other way around.

deduce much?

[wereallidiots]

ever hear the expression, "the pot calling the kettle black..."??? you started this mess by insulting me, and for defending myself from insult no less. you are quite the self-righteous egotist. i pray that you don't become a politician and succeed, because you'd be just as bad as bush, since you're so full of yourself and such a moron too. who are you to speak for everyone else? i obviously influenced you to give up, twice now. just because you don't ever learn doesn't mean no one else does.

[manmojo04]

dude get a life get over it stop cryn like a lil bitch of what he said. love this song :)

[wereallidiots]

you must have an anger problem, nd maybe some delusions: i haven't cried over any of this, i said i loved the song, i haven't thought about this in four months, so if i haven't got a life, then by comparison, you must be absolutely pathetic, because i'm not the one going months back to read comments and then responding with some retarded comment that doesn't even have any relevance. don't bitch at me for pointing out that other people are stupid assholes, they obviously finally got the message.

[bman231]

Manmojo I also see he suffers from bipolar cuz he started out saying I hate you suck full of hatred by the end of the sentence hes all happy lol

[wackyfours]

i know i'm a lil late on the fight but DAMN

hahaha u just told her ass! nice *high five*

[wereallidiots]

rusboarder's a she? huh... i really have to worry about her mental state. she seems absolutely unaware that she's been attacking me for things she's done already from the getgo. and i'm just baffled at how she seems so totally oblivious. if i had that much trouble with reading comprehension, i'd hate school too, but i wouldn't try to draw attention to the fact that i was semi-illiterate. shrug. you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. and thanks- good to see someone can read.

[wereallidiots]

looking back, he referred to himself as a guy, though i can see how you'd get that confused since he acted like such a little bitch, but we mustn't forget, not all females are bitches and not all bitches are female. and not all men are chauvinists, but lately i'm forced to wonder why women are worth respecting if they don't respect themselves or their own hearts, but hopefully some fine woman will prove me right sometime soon. i'm so sick of being proven wrong when i try to think nice things.

[wereallidiots]

and since you brought it up, "your" is possessive, i think what you were looking for was "you're" and hopefully anything you'd have to say about me would be based on something i said (since that's all you know of me) rather than off it. give yourself a break (not that you've earned one) and calm down. perhaps you've got some things to get over yourself before you can preach at anyone else about anything, stop defensively projecting, or even trust your presumptuous perceptions for that matter.

[lyrikkz]

Continued from the last reply. -- Down at the Navy So I can get some peace. Peace.. Pot? --- She's the only one alive that knows that I'm not crazy ... Doesn't this explain its self..? again, this is my opinion. so don't tell me i'm wrong, no one knows the truth so don't act like you do.

[compassionftb]

i hate telling people their opinions are wrong but here:

people hand me quarters, unless someone says a quarter of weed(which obviosly doesn;t happen everyone he goes)means quarters. any reference to a female doesn't mean their name is mary, and any reference to a mary doesnt mean drugs. and idk how u got this one, shes a movie star, shes all in the papers. weed isnt a movie star so it wouldnt apply but if u wanna go further you wouldnt say in the papers if u meant rolling paper.

[lyrikkz]

again, this is my opinion,

i won't fight with you over

the meaning of a song i didn't

write. as a lyricist though,

i do write songs that have no

meaning, but i try to make

other people put their own meanings

to it. but i understand where your

coming from .

[wereallidiots]

sure it does, i thought it explained itself quite clearly: she's gonna testify on my behalf down at the navy so i can get some peace and provide for my babies- what has pot got to do with providing for babies? isn't he trying to get into the navy (despite a possibly lengthy assault record) to bring home the bacon and defend his home so he can feel like a fulfilled man?

[ghosthtx]

This song is ACTUALLY about the Painting of Moan Lisa.

-listen 2 tha lyrics-;) I think he loved art so much & felt like no one was worthy enough 2 care 4 the painting,so he protects it with his life.

:)

CITIZEN COPE is DEEP Lyricist,

Check out : w w w . texasstyles2u. c o m

We sell Hottest urban & designer clothes & shoes WHOLESALE!!

[FenderMan88888888]

he is singing like he is the homeless guy who is going crazy and he is in love wth this girl, but the girl is just a movie star on a billboard like 40 feet tall, its obviously a billboard and when someone trys to take it down he trys to protect it

[lofike]

no no it's....well..don't think it's a billboard. why would the song be called pable picasso? and..ppl don't pat u on the back for admiring a billboard. :D just a thought

[thekingsaces]

makes no sense u listen to the lyrics. u cant drive a car by the mona lisa, u cant even take pictures in that mueseum. its not quite 40 feet tall either

[FenderMan88888888]

yay someone understands the song and knows it about a billboard and not the mona lisa

[dirknow]

Just so everyone knows, the Mona Lisa painting was done by DA VINCI, not Picasso.

Anyway the song's awesome and I love Cope!

[LADIABLADC14]

this is the best song ever.

[Oppoda]

This is by far my favorite artist. Another good band is Queens of the Stone Age. its also very good

[ClemensWorldwide]

i think the song is pretty random but the video is great!!

[qlollypop]

well if you listen to it closely youll understand that the song is about a crazy homeless man kind of protecting a billboard of some sort and he thinks she's real..thats why he sais "people hand me quaters and they pat me on the back treat me like im famous"..also "for some odd reason they keep calling her a painting"....or perhaps you meant that the vid didnt really go with the song but theres some info.

[ClemensWorldwide]

thank you for the info!

[qlollypop]

Sure thing!!:)

[LADIABLADC14]

not quite just because yu look @ the world through another set of eyes. something all of us need to do at some points.

[Tivs2907]

omg nub, this song is called " Pablo Picasso" not " Mister officer"

[RonBurgandyistheman]

I hope you were referring to the video when you said that was "Mister Officer." The song is definitely called "Pablo Picasso"

[Nais77176]

i'm sorry but that is not " Pablo Picasso" it's "Mister officer"

Very beautiful song.

[PitchBlack696]

[NiCoLe13CaSsIdY]

[turnbu10]

Not a group - a person

[grayden55]

[duneprincess92399]

this video great it shows that everyone loves SOMETHING lol i really love this song though its one of my favorites

[shamousk]

i was introduced to citizen cope in the worst of possible circumstances.. my roommate woke me up by blaring one of his albums at two in the morning as she proceeded to do lines (and keep me up) all night.

i am to this day thankful for this disturbance. a fantastic blend of genres.

[angelinacortez23]

I was introduced to this artist by Rico Spence, who is an amazing song write out of atlanta with ties to Usher and many more...this guy Citizen Cope is off the proverbial..."HOoK!"

[peacelovesrf]

love this song!!

[skiantozza]

Great song!
