Pictures in Motion

Yeah Now picture me Having so much ability ideas feel so elite But they don't become Enough to get me out of working these 9-5s out the week I been goin dumb on everything but I still feel like a bum I'm hungry but I ain't beggin' for no funds Nah I'm not the one But still dodgin' bullets like Neo this matrix I'm getting thru (He's beginning to believe) Counting on dreams, to keep me alive Picture me having hope for the Eastside Save my people from the struggle I'll be Mr. Clark Invest in the future I'll be about loyalty while living royally like Tony Stark I paint my city purple, young black panther Cuz what kind of nigga is to challenge us when we tryna get out (I am your king now) That's why we apPeele to Jordans how we runnin' shit Might set it off and start dumpin' quick Could picture me gunnin' the whip down the street With my family too fast and furious with it I'll flip the switch on these niggas Ejecto seato (ejecto seato cuz) and then dip I ain't losing no grip When I'm winnin' ain't no time for sittin' around When I'm building a bigger business The grind is automatic but we shiftin' it to manual so we get perfect balance We constantly stay on our toes Cuz shit be like Samuel how we swerve in this altitude Gotta watch out for these snakes in this hoe (I've had it with these muthafuckin' snakes on this muthafuckin' plane) Me and my kinfolk be tapped in like 10-4 And we go way back like lunch tables and pencils You can picture me but can't understand what I been thru I'm just paintin' pictures Don't cut off no stories ain't no need for scissors The crop get bigger with every lesson I learn Picture me worth way more than 1000 words Can you picture all of this in my mental? Can you picture it without all the stress tho? Can you picture me in shows get live as I book 'em (Bucum!) Be all about the Benjamins (15) as I'm selling these (30) tickets like lotto (37) Hand me the mic I make heat (38) that's the motto (Got more than 7 digits from yo b-) Heat used to only come from candle lights We came a long way from them scary nights I was so lowkey like Barry White now the future lookin very bright I'm gone be aight I picture me with my Shea Butter Baby getting ready to fight like Apollo Creed (Nobody showed me how to do this) And you know my steez, I cure the campus with these trees, (Got blunt?) My degree in botany call me (Got weed) Silas I ain't silent about it (Get Em) Could be a menace to society but I highly doubt it (Muthafucka I said with cheese Nigga) It's easy to picture a boy in the hood, and not getting out of it Unless it come with a scholarship or the military payin' for college While we pay with Bodies (Ricky!) I guess it's really only 2 ways Gotta wake up like them school daze (Wake Up!) I'm pledging for brotherhood But we just cannot go back to some used chains we been thru pain So what do you chase? Is it money or women? Maybe you gotta figure out how to split up division Or the only one that think about the children What makes you different? I picture me always focused on the mission I might be trippin' but no I ain't kiddin' I put hustle in flows Don't play with me or I might go head And slap me a skinny man you never know (Did You slap Skinny Black? Uh, did you do it man?) I'm just paintin' pictures Don't cut off no stories ain't no need for scissors The crop get bigger with every lesson I learn Picture me worth way more than 1000 words
