Pictures of Myself

(Intro)

(Verse 1)

Todays just, not my day
Feeling lonely, & ashamed
All my skies, are filled with grey
Now
Tell me what, you want
I need to hear, you say It
I think, Its time, for change
Well
Gotta keep, my head high
No matter, the strain
Stay strong, no matter, the pain
But these pictures, on the wall
Keep reminding me, of myself
I guess I'm, burning em all
Whoa...
My life consists of drinking, & partying
High energy shows, for a mid level, audience
People talking smack, Like I knew him, when he started
And his music ain't shit, seen the closets, I recorded In
Nah
You ain't never ever know me
& most people don't, made It on my own solely
Except for the real friends, I kept close by
Now they all apart of the crew
We reaping the H.I
But these visions of a wall, still here
Like an image in my mind, not erased, just smeared
I can see all of my faults, I can see all of my fears
I can feel all of the hatred, for haters
Over years, I've been doing this
Years I've been, writing raps
Years had to, cypher tracks
So cheers, If you real, If you not, please don't holla back
Cause I don't need fake niggas, in my circle
All I need is my lord Jesus, & that purple
So when I'm under a bridge, and I feel like I can't move
Take a look at my life, and all the things, I want to do
Yeah I know, I'm going places, yeah I'm, going places
Taking flight
Another new place, another new stage, couple thousand faces
Feeling right
Asking where, I go, when I disappear, & the lights turn off
Asking where, I go, when I reappear, some place they thought was a joke
Let somebody know

(Chorus)
I don't ever want to feel, like I did that day
Chilling in the place I love, the 50th state
Tired of being insecure, from all the pictures, of myself
It's time to move on

(Verse 2)
So I'm living now, In a better way
Eating healthy, & working out
Yo thats everyday
Although these voices in my head, they keep on saying things
I learned to turn, these bitches down
It don't matter, fuck they laughter, I'm underground
Wowing people with sounds, crowds, screaming loud
They know I got It
And now that they want It
I'ma charge, each and everyone of you, mother fuckers
For the fact, that back in the day, most of you didn't love him
But It's cool, I don't hold no grudges
I'm stunting
Remember when I was nothing, I earned respect, like Mc Lovin
No fronting
Had a pessimistic, view of the world
Till I switched, for the sake of beautiful girls, In my life
And I wanna keep em there, buy some square feet
Mileage for my driving, round the island
With my niggas, while we smiling
Steady, drifting, styling
In the clubs, we whiling out
Piling up, pouring shots
Fuck a lifestyle, get your feelings up
Sick of feeling down, get your hands up
Pull your pants up
Anything to get your mind off of the, stress of the day
If only the lord can judge us, why you keep questioning me
It's High life, Its my life
It's my life, reppin the H.I life
It's mine
And I'm a live It, doing it for myself
And doing it for my city
Nothing that you can say, will make me break my commitments
I'll paint a picture, for myself...
Yeah
I'll paint a picture, of myself...

(Outro)
