The Bigger Picture feat. Krondon |
| 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 |
