Picture

Picture me in the civic, how God living Everything is paid for, my dinner is A-listed All black, windows tinted, decreasing the fake vision Can't see me if I don't want you to, let me tell you what I'ma do Fake simulation, this matrix is what I'm breaking through Take from my nation, they hate what I have become into Proud black American, elevate through another roof Exceed expectations that people really want me to do I'm sick with the pen, epinephrine with the vernacular Change up the script whenever my life start acting up People don't believe in what they bleed, they bandwagon us Every word I say is how I see it and I'll back it up I'm only intimidated if there is a challenger No one ever tries, when I speak they get to packing up No real hitters, I guess these children ain't man enough I feel it in my bones, especially in my scapula Been flipping all this dough with my shoulders, done broke the spatula And wishing what I sold is enough to get through the calendar Stick to what I know, I'm from scavenger to a janitor Then to a bands manager, RebelLion ambassador Sticking to the code, can't break out of any diameter Ripping every flow, I am no longer an amateur Never missed a show, I ain't never break out of character Never had a foe that was really a new competitor I handle every situation that I face the same I learned the game when they forgot about my name They came back from restraints that was locked inside my brain Broke the chains to sustain evolutionary change Ancestors fought for this even though I'm just a grain In a larger pile of brothers, I still feel them in my veins They jumped the ships for me, so I'm respecting every breath I take More for them than even me, but why would I even complain It's okay now, everyone is free but the media got us stuck down Liberate our needs, we can't eat inside of this rough town 312 is needed, there's reasons why it's a dump now Even if it wasn't gentrified, look how we drugged out To numb out the trauma, scared of mama's for their babies Money problems, I can't solve em' don't see commas when they pay me Carry llamas for the drama if they ever try to lay me I ain't safe, but I'm awake They up the stakes for survival do you have what it takes Not just physical, they coming for your mind and mental state Lock you up and have you asking if your life had any gain Did I shoot my shot enough or was I ever close in range I might not have been enough for you, but I am enough for me I was taught to get the blue, but there ain't no money tree I been told my roots were down, so I gotta up the green So it's time I grow up now and see what's out there for me and Yeah, I picture places I can rest Always sunny if the weather change, it's always for the best Not too far from home, I can never leave my nest Change the frame of mind from new protect to money invest For my brothers at the crib scratching jackpot tickets Decreased amount of moms with sons missing Tuskegee written, but I'm thinking about an idea homie, riddle me this I wonder if the slave owner had ever envisioned this That's out the picture Johnny don't wanna go to school no more Johnny don't wanna go to school no more Johnny don't wanna go to school no more
