[Verse 1]
Paint me impatient
I was never released
I escaped incubation
Hopping heaven's fence for a chainlink sensation
Obtaining the greatness
Before the dirty world could ever stain me with hatred
I hold no omen
I know I'm no Moses
But I plan to profit when
I hold hope's ocean open
And hold it from soldiers to soulsters
So seasick souls get to cope with the motion
I sing songs to simulate a sea shore serenity
And wear short sleeves to show my self-inflicted injury
Cut myself deep and won't accept a stitch of sympathy
Let my lips be the wrists that drip, drip the memory
Try to beat the bitterness
Just recieve the stimulus
Ignore the ached appendages
I use to paint the pictures with
I used to take the temperment
Now I save the sentiment
Just because I like to stop my face from making grimaces
Now colour us impatient
We live life like we've been smothered under blankets
And lust for something sacred
Just when we obtain it
Someone comes and takes it
That feeling, there, I call hunger's understatement
Reaching for the future before the presidents unwrapped
Like seeing blood drip ahead of a crips gun clap
For I love life
And its love slap
Instead of a quick love-tap
The party can't start because of potential still untapped
So let's all infiltrate the base of our enemy
Complete mission objective then escape up the chimney
Risking d**h, defamation or plain old injury
Cuz' there ain't no remedy
Like being stained on memories
So paint no polarity
And turn no clarity
That's the way it goes and it sounds so fair to me
Legalize polygamy
Let pain and pleasure marry me
And give all of my excess clarity to charity
[Bridge]
Got my pencils
Got my pens
Got my chalk
Got my streets
Got my love
Got my friends
Got the people on my street
Got my minutes
Got my days
Got my nights
Got my weeks
Got some thoughts
Got a beat and a real reason to speak
[Hook]
I've been colouring for a lifetime
I can't stay between the guidelines
I feel behind
And in the spaces sick of waiting
Never mind the limitations that my eyes find
