Christon Gray - The IMAGE lyrics

[Verse 1: Taelor Gray] Went from Elevationist to an up-and-coming Took a couple summers till they caught the undercurrent My heart going till I'm listening to Lovesick The record label crash when you leave without a compa** They run and tell they're famous homies with a box of tissues Cause when you don't make music you can hide from all your issues I'm rapping with my real name, this is not a metaphor I don't make no music that's gon sacrifice my credit score I don't play no pastor just to get someone to trust me I'm laughing when them fake goons try to come and shush me Look I just say my peace and that just sound too personal Staying independent so I can let these verses go Met a couple brothers turn to lifelong family So I don't fight for mentions and don't nobody manage me Keep me in the skyscrapers dapping up the clouds Cause I get the highest highs when no one else around Look these clowns want the real and they can let me go I'm chilling on the pleasantries and we can keep it cold Only time I take the high road is on the way to Shiloh You don't want to see this part then you just keep your eyes closed [Verse 2: Christon Gray] Peace to the genre and peace to Obama I pledge allegiance, comma I love Drake but I'm a better singer and a better rapper Better than Rihanna, Tame Impala said let it happen No shade, I think Drake's LeBron and Jay is Jordan Far as Kanye, let me put it in layman's form Dude's tryna stay important while he's slaying corporate But ya'll ain't praying for him, ya'll aiming for him Now nothing says forever like a diamond ring So true, but I can see the other side of things Some love you until they notice the irony And some think that I'm a Cain, but I'm a king Had a broken heart for breakfast and a dream for dinner There're some moments of reflection I need to consider Game over, the labels froze my cash flow That's for the birds man, we're flying south for the winter Now I'm going west, won't catch Fievel I'm somewhere in LA with a Kodak smile Me and bae in the Bay, I'm like the golden child But I need to go home and see my oldest child Maya Blue My other kids are my brother's kids Shout out to Tae, you know what it is Now I'm back in the Bay, Oakland style Shoes so raw, this is [?] Yeah they be making beauty out of low-res files Squint, shoot photos like a projectile, boom Yo I need this to be beautiful Picture perfect this is beautiful [Verse 3: Jonathon Baker] Before the beauty is gone, you gotta live it Please don't die with your song, it's still in you Don't you know your life is a song, the globe need it […] your life's a record spin worship ya'll [Outro: Christon Gray] And a thousand words later x2 Beauty is me x2 And a thousand words later x2 Beauty is me x2 And a thousand words later And a thousand verses later Beauty is me x2
