Chorus : We paint a different picture everyday

We paint a story , then we paint a frame

Looking like everything has fallen apart

But you gotta stand tall and strong the beating heart (Repeat)

Everyday and every night you keep on talking mad loud

When will it end my friend , or is it time just to contend

To this mastermind of nature

Vapors getting hallow

Shallow is the vain you shall proceed to protrude

You mad rude it's no surprise

In your eyes you cannot hide

All the lies that have complied

In this evidence of time

It's against us , no picture

Digital snapshots

Inkblots worth a lot cause they tell a different story

Of man who had it all , but then he lost all the glory

Innocent victim , vixens and fixings

Drinking, sinking bottom of abyss

Didn't remember this , cause you want to fade away

Into a place where they don't know you , till they see the light of day

Keeping them at bay from the unknown

You say want to die here all alone

But it's not over yet , as the story goes on

Chorus : We paint a different picture everyday

We paint a story , then we paint a frame

Looking like everything has fallen apart

But you gotta stand tall and strong the beating heart (Repeat)

As we get deeper in story , you begin to learn a lot

This kid he had problems , as he's running the block

Handle the Glock , cock ready to squeeze on enemies

That try to take him out in less time than removing the bullets

Ready to pull he's a soldier , all over the beef

War and crime and death , is all too brief

So let's move on

His name is shawn , and he got lost in the street

Feeling the beat from the heat , he retreats to his seat

He's so gone , reality's a thing from the past

So whatever he learned from back then didn't last

He survives on smalls checks , given by government

The settlement , that he won

Has gone to piece , and now he can't find it

Looking for all the right answers in the wrong place

Space what we try to do , locked up in a cave

For political change , tell me what's it gone

We try to be free , but the enemies won't let us leave

Chorus : We paint a different picture everyday

We paint a story , then we paint a frame

Looking like everything has fallen apart

But you gotta stand tall and strong the beating heart (Repeat)

Monkey see , and monkey do is what they want us to do

Never having a clue , of how we can double up on our revenue

Sometimes you gotta think smarter than the average Joe

I don't know , why you think I'm spitting this heavy flow

Because I wanted to blow , this not game to me

You ashamed of me , because I don't rep it the way you do

What I got to do is for me , never nobody else

I had to feed myself , and get the food up off of the shelf

You can be mad all you want , I'm gone be fine today

But shawn , he has a lot problems that's not going away

Like looking for a job , so his kids are straight

Gotta scrape , and get whatever he can snatch from the plate

So be grateful , when somebody offers an opportunity

There's no room to be sad , you better take

Guarantee to make it , put the ego in check

Don't be a wreck , get it set , and make multiple checks

Chorus : We paint a different picture everyday

We paint a story , then we paint a frame

Looking like everything has fallen apart

But you gotta stand tall and strong the beating heart (Repeat)
