Testo The Bigger Picture

Alone when I was growin' up
Sometimes you, sometimes me
Always love
Train hard and I'mma focus up
Got it all but ain't have enough

I'm out the shed and the tools brand new
Dear momma droppin' jewels that I never ran through The most driven never sat up in the back seat
The most forgiven never flaggin' down a taxi
That's my word if it's meant to outgrow
Lake I used to run home to catch the last of my show
Some move to the future others livin' it slow
Old tunes tryna find where the memories flow
You know I try to chase ‘em down no dragon
They shot a Beatle do people still imagine?
I think the world could be a better place
No fam but I still set a table and I said its grace
I think I let you in my life all access
Gift or cursed, it's cursive closed captions
Misinterpretin' the passion
Saving face ain't a game, ain't a time for retractions
I learn one way then front the opposite I learn behind the beat, now I learn on top of it
I do go against the grain
I do take bigger pictures that don't fit in the frame

Alone when I was growin' up
Sometimes you, sometimes me
Always love
Train hard and I'mma focus up
Got it all but ain't have enough

[?] the ink well
Thoughts sketch a snapshot
Vibrant check the [?] now the family eats well
Used to cut the mould off bricks for grilled cheese melts
Wandering the crumbling castle wondering how things fell
Mansions and lap pools asleepin' on back pews
[?] roaches and raps move
Thankfully I seen it all alive and I'm grateful
With Curtis Mayfield singing “Just be Thankful”
Slappin' at a glass house, [?]
Couple old cats [?] roof covered
Nodded and they nodded back
Respect acknowledged
Got a fine arts degree plus the streets are our college
California campus I studied abroad
Bloodied the canvas, pondering atlas, what if he shrugged?
The rich lady asked what if we thugged?
Humanity said I'm feelin' drowsy what is the drug?
Wake the team up, never alone but on my own two
Help the elevators check the levels that we grown through
Philanthropic maybe cause I did my dirt
There I'm on it, honestly I never fronted all is all I ever wanted
Keep an eye on hustlers, watch out for the schemers
No more [?] close to the dreamers
Awake tryna live dreams physically, energy is extreme
Lessons of infinity envisioned on the big screen
