The Bigger Picture (feat. Krondon)

I learned when I was growin' up
 Sometimes you, sometimes me
 Always love
 Train hard, now my focus up
 Got it all but ain't had enough I'm out the shed and the tools brand new
 Dear mama dropped them jewels that I never ran through
 The most driven never sat up in the back seat
 The most forgiven never flagging down a taxi
 That's my word if it's meant to outgrow
 Like I used to run home to catch the last of my show
 Some move to the future other's living it slow
 Old tunes trying to find where the memories flow
 You know I try to chase 'em down no dragon
 Shit, 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 it's grace
 I think I'll let you in my life all access
 Gift and curses, cursive closed captions
 Misinterpreting the passion
 Saving face ain't a game, ain't a time for retractions
 I learned one way then front the opposite
 I learned behind the beat, now I learned on top of it
 I do go against the grain
 I do take bigger pictures that don't fit in the frame
 Dip the scriber in the inkwell
 Thoughts sketch a snapshot
 Vibrant check the detail, now the family eats well
 Used to cut the mold off bricks for grilled cheese melts
 Wandering the crumbling castle wondering how the things fell
 Mansions and lap pools to sleeping on back pews
 Pictures and statues where roaches and rats moved
 Faithfully I've seen it all alive, and I'm grateful
 With Curtis Mayfield singing "Just be Thankful"
 Slapping loud out a glasshouse, pearl enamel tooth color
 Seasoned old cats then the ragtop, roof covered
 Nodded and they nodded back, respect acknowledged
 Got a fine arts degree plus the streets are a college
 California campus, I've studied abroad
 Bloodied the canvas, pondering atlas, "what if he shrugged?"
 The rich lady asked, "what if we thug?"
 Humanity said "I'm feeling drowsy what is the drug?"
 Wake the team up, never alone but on my own two
 Held the elevator, check the levels that we've grown through
 Philanthropic maybe cause I did my dirt
 There, I'm haunted, honestly I never fronted all is all I ever wanted
 Keep an eye on hustlers, watch out for the schemers
 No more kid gloves for the dreamers
 Awake trying to live dreams physically, energy is extreme
 Lessons of infinity are vivid on the big screen
