The Bigger Picture Lyrics

You ain't a boy no more

All these kids been looking up to you

You may not like it

That decision isn't up to you

Watch where you walking you could lead em down the wrong path

One of disaster, one of pain, or one of wrath

You could be a stereotype

You could run the streets and punctuate with ending a life

I heard you talking business tonight

Built a monopoly, they asking what the stereo like

It's lonely, when you trynna get your life straight

Sacrificing, you'll do anything it might take

Doors locked, just to make it through the night safe

Ain't had no heat during the winter so I ice skate

Back to my dreams

For a moment alone inside my head

Life gets worse the minute I'm out the bed

But when I look in your eyes

I see a future where I'm finally ahead

Blessings on blessings I just been stacking for my kinfolk

I needed something I could live for

This ain't Tha Carter

These are raps I need the pen for

I'm giving glory to god for these

Blessings on blessings I just been stacking for my kinfolk

I needed something I could live for

This ain't Tha Carter

These are raps I need the pen for

Ain't no telling what I'm in for

Giving what I never had, the reason I might smile

Some say it's a problem, it's really a lifestyle

Recently I feel like I'm walking the green mile

Shackled to the thought of me raising my own child

Ducking and dodging the profile

Give me your number I won't dial

Unless you trying to go half on legacy

Maybe the trouble is worthwhile

All of my thoughts been piling up

Baby, I got to come clean

We only met a few years ago and I can't get you out of my dreams

But, I ain't no homewrecker

And I ain't too into taking a turn

Wanted it all, it left you with nothing

That's just a lesson that you got to learn

Maybe if I took my own advice

I wouldn't be left to decide

Music or love, Grace or inelegance

Why am I picking a side

Only a Sith deal in absolutes

Freeing the thoughts if they gon pollute

I got a plan we can execute

There ain't no pressure that comes from you

Two paths when we get on the road

Scenic route, so we taking it slow

Life ain't a race, we meant to enjoy it

So can we just go with the flow

Blessings on blessings I just been stacking for my kinfolk

I needed something I could live for

This ain't Tha Carter

These are raps I need the pen for

I'm giving glory to god for these

Blessings on blessings I just been stacking for my kinfolk

I needed something I could live for

This ain't Tha Carter

These are raps I need the pen for

Ain't no telling what I'm in for
