[Verse 1: Crucial]
As I'm looking out the window of this vivid life
Painting a picture of a n***a with a little light
Hoping to k** the mics
Freaking the top hoes and swerving the potholes
I'm fronting, I'm feeling life, I guess I'm feeling like
Michael in his prime, except I'm choosing to rhyme through this little mic
Keep the swagger about as sharp as this little knife
See I don't shine with j**elry for a little hype
Building the muscle of a leader, I do not flex
I'm keeping it simple they don't understand the complex
You kissing these b**hes lips', I'm sticking to Carmex
Whenever the times correct, that's when I count checks
Following all my pa**ion for flashing
And cashing my million dollar check with a bad b**h
Actually, I don't give a damn if she's average
As long as when marriage come, she ain't a savage
Turn vision into being
Because whomever your dreams about is who you should believe in
I feed into the Winter-time cuddling, and Summer-time f**ing
In a bed with bad Spring(s) and Fall(ing) into the evening
I call that a season, and you hate me for believing
If I wasted my time asking why, I guarantee you wouldn't have a reason
[Chorus: Chelsea Tavares]
If I could take you there
I guarantee you wouldn't last a minute
They'd probably try to replace you there
They don't hate you dear, just opening your eyes to a different kind of life
Because this ain't what you call easy
But if you try to deceive me
You know you won't go that far
But maybe if you listen, you'll always know where to go..
[Verse 2: Jon Hope]
See I cringe just a little at the thought of success
Just through me in the base when you're discussing who's the best
Because it isn't really shined upon the glams in the glitter
And that's my word is born, you will never need a sitter
As the sun rotates, and my mind gets bigger
I've seen p**y k** even faster than a trigger
I don't run around town s**ing any Lois Lane
I don't jump out the window without the f**ing cape
I'm just a, young kid who would dream amongst bricks
And I knew I wanted rap, when I seen that Puff, BIG, saying "Take That"
I tell you this an obscence
You can think a sky-scraper in the middle of the projects
Tell me what's your reason, who do you believe in
And if I beat the odds does it mean that I am even
Simple math with a complex answer
Put on your shoes because, rhythm is a dancer
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Crucial]
Portraits
Taking shots at yourself, get in a coffin
Civilized through your wealth, live in accordance
To whom it may concern, excuse the ignorance
Of k**ing child dreams, it's like you're giving abortions
Cautious of creating a circle of solidified thoughts
And minds set on the virtues of intelligent visions, and what they see on commercials
Because advertising is burglary, but won't admit it hurts you
Following what you see is like scrolling all through your Twitter
And re-tweeting everyone without a second to consider
Because, a guilty concious makes the mind feel bitter
So we're trying to shine through the little sides of a glitter
Lies of a winner, rise n***a get up
Tying to feed your mind through the eyes of a dinner
Mind over matter, climb over ladder
Trying to feed your mind through the eyes of a platter and I'm ghost..
