Oddisee - Digging Deep lyrics

[Verse One] I was born with small access, to big dreams And detached homes, and lazy boy couches were fit thrones that Would sit kings Lion statues on the fences larger than the castles they guarded Lawns made the pastures pristine A race with the have nots Broke but the moat's where the Jag's parked Doing dirty work but the whips clean Notice the Jones's All of what they have is for the showing even notices on doors or for closures I'm trying to get income, and then some Ride around in something, the system bumping The disk jumping, I'm rolling A slight high From being able to buy, what you shouldn't but you never knew why Never mind, this the feeling I've been wanting for time Flying blind, into a wall strong drawing to shine [Hook] I just looked at the pictures Didn't have a manual to build this Just a**emble it from feeling By looking at pictures I was given tools meant for building With no instruction for the wielding But look at the picture It ain't even close to the description And yet it's working as I wished it By looking at pictures And even though parts of it are missing It's still complete in the depiction [Verse Two] Started off trying to make a way Then I made a wave that made a wage, that lay to waste the Paper chase that I was into race But how you even stop this thing I never learned so in turn, I'ma burn out breaks Spend it faster than the churn out makes But I'm a Phoenix, I went from ashes to cla**es Shoebox to plastic Credit could buy what ever imagined Developing habits I can't kick Man I was rocking cleats to a match full of baskets, fast break Broke the safe trying to bask in Sums that wasn't real but ones and nils and they asking Debit or credit the ladder please Climbing into debt without a sweat when it's gradually Had to make a couple mistakes that I couldn't erase Overdrawn but I turned out great [Hook] I just looked at the pictures Didn't have a manual to build this Just a**emble it from feeling By looking at pictures I was given tools meant for building With no instruction for the wielding But look at the picture It ain't even close to the description And yet it's working as I wished it By looking at pictures And even though parts of it are missing It's still complete in the depiction [Verse Three] I maneuver by example, good or bad Triumphs and tramples, something I couldn't grasp I wouldn't pa** I would rather struggle a**embling what I can do Look at that Little different but the differences make it what it isn't Is, is whatever I want to witness Behold a vision outside of the city limits Where time is more valued than money for the spending Ascended to deeper things Never knew reasoning Throwing random spices into life for the seasoning Without a silver spoon I couldn't taste what I was prepping My guesses made the wooden whip a problem to a question Why do my people spend more and have less than No seat to eat the meal that I'm responsible for cheffing Imagining the window was just a mirror reflection I turned the sideline into a seat at the concession [Hook] I just looked at the pictures Didn't have a manual to build this Just a**emble it from feeling By looking at pictures I was given tools meant for building With no instruction for the wielding But look at the picture It ain't even close to the description And yet it's working as I wished it By looking at pictures And even though parts of it are missing It's still complete in the depiction
