The Picture

[Verse] I was told that I'm the future of the real hip-hop Because the game is getting real flip-flopped They acting funny, getting real Chris Rock You need to work to get your skills this hot, lyrical pistols and you will get shot I made my point, maybe I should aggress it even harder Now I'm 'bout to get it swinging on the web, I'm Peter Parker Taking the game even farther, making my name even larger Cause the time is now, so I'm grinding now And i'm finding out who I am slowly, so I'm climbing out To let you know what I'm about to do to you if you had any kind of doubt Mic smoking, keep you on your toes like you're tightroping My eyes open for the serpents out planning When I started standing out they seen that I was outstanding This fire flow it got my mouth tanning Cause now I'm spitting flames tryna penetrate the game If I don't then the (picture will never change) [Pre-hook] Yeah, I been observing it closely and the picture never changes Lames is perpetrating just cause they want to be famous And kick it with entertainers, the game is tainted, obtain it or the (picture will never change) [Hook] Cause in the end you gotta paint the picture And if you never change yourself the picture will never change I'm tryna change the picture But if I keep doing the same things the picture will never change You gotta paint the picture And if you never change yourself the picture will never change I'm tryna change the picture Or else (the picture will never change) [Verse] I still been searching for change cause I'm tired or being mentally caged Sick and tired of working minimum wage Sick and tired of watching all these idols up in this millennium fade Still these amateurs go and mimic the wave I'm in it for saving the game if anything I just got a lot of heart not plenty change Just got a lot of charm, not plenty chains I'm climbing up to where not many hang I got plenty things weighing on my itty bitty brain It could really get insane if I never see an end to it Crimes from my peers still continuing Fearing for my life and plus the haters in disguise acting genuine Any thought of failure it increases my adrenaline Distant from my dreams, regardless they feel close Though I'm hardly out "the Field" and homie I'm still broke I been talking to myself and I'm saying there's still hope Just still flow or the (picture will never change) [Pre-hook] Yeah, so I'm praying the picture changes My brain is heavy and I don't want to know what insane is But if I don't try to change it, no matter the way I frame it yo (the picture will never change) [Hook] [Verse:] I heard from a wise man you supposed to paint your own future It ain't easy staying focused tryna get what's owed to you When dreams get sold to you, no matter where I am at I'll never give my soul to you These rhymes that I show to you are the reason that I'm maintaining So lately I been bringing my gifts to these tracks like Saint Nicholas at a train station You haven't done a thing if people ain't hating The world's cold but the fire in my soul remains blazing I pay zero attention to what any lame's saying They saying the same statements, but trust that I ain't playing I'm game changing for anyone who has a brain saying that (the picture will never change) [Hook] [Outro] Yeah Sounds so soulful don't you agree? That's Canei Finch on the beat by the way Yeah Uh uh Yeah
