The Bigger Picture |
I learned when I was growin' up |
Sometimes you, sometimes me |
Always love |
Train hard, now my focus up |
Got it all but ain’t had enough |
I’m out the shed and the tools brand new |
Dear mama dropped them jewels that I never ran through |
The most driven never sat up in the back seat |
The most forgiven never flagging down a taxi |
That’s my word if it’s meant to outgrow |
Like I used to run home to catch the last of my show |
Some move to the future other’s living it slow |
Old tunes trying to find where the memories flow |
You know I try to chase ‘em down no dragon |
Shit, they shot a Beatle, do people still imagine? |
I think the world could be a better place |
No fam but I still set a table and I said it’s grace |
I think I’ll let you in my life all access |
Gift and curses, cursive closed captions |
Misinterpreting the passion |
Saving face ain’t a game, ain’t a time for retractions |
I learned one way then front the opposite |
I learned behind the beat, now I learned on top of it |
I do go against the grain |
I do take bigger pictures that don’t fit in the frame |
Dip the scriber in the inkwell |
Thoughts sketch a snapshot |
Vibrant check the detail, now the family eats well |
Used to cut the mold off bricks for grilled cheese melts |
Wandering the crumbling castle wondering how the things fell |
Mansions and lap pools to sleeping on back pews |
Pictures and statues where roaches and rats moved |
Faithfully I’ve seen it all alive, and I’m grateful |
With Curtis Mayfield singing «Just be Thankful» |
Slapping loud out a glasshouse, pearl enamel tooth color |
Seasoned old cats then the ragtop, roof covered |
Nodded and they nodded back, respect acknowledged |
Got a fine arts degree plus the streets are a college |
California campus, I’ve studied abroad |
Bloodied the canvas, pondering atlas, «what if he shrugged?» |
The rich lady asked, «what if we thug?» |
Humanity said «I'm feeling drowsy what is the drug?» |
Wake the team up, never alone but on my own two |
Held the elevator, check the levels that we’ve grown through |
Philanthropic maybe cause I did my dirt |
There, I’m haunted, honestly I never fronted all is all I ever wanted |
Keep an eye on hustlers, watch out for the schemers |
No more kid gloves for the dreamers |
Awake trying to live dreams physically, energy is extreme |
Lessons of infinity are vivid on the big screen |
