Zuby - Paint A Perfect Picture lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm blessed and lyrically divine the truth is hidden by design You only understand the meaning when you read between the lines From beginning to my prime I live to challenge and define I'm trying to etch a vivid scripture give a vision to the blind An album is a glimpse of what I feel between the grind So every night I free my mind and dump my thoughts between the lines You see beyond the image when you look into my eyes I'm trying to paint a picture through the rhythm and the rhyme A child, I looked at everything with rosy tinted gla**es I thought Santa Claus was coming I thought every kid got pa**es Now I see the proof the world ain't really so attractive Like the truth taxed all my youth and made the payments retroactive They say I'm intellectual but never trying to lecture you All I do is talk and treat this booth like a confessional And I ain't perfect but I hope that it's effectual I'm just a mortal man I want the candy not the vegetables [Hook] Picture perfect, I paint a perfect picture Think broke I can't be with ya My intention's to get richer My pa**ion is my work I'm trying to paint a perfect picture A master is at work I'm trying to paint a perfect picture yeah Picture perfect, I paint a perfect picture Think broke I can't be with ya My intention's to get richer My pa**ion is my work I'm trying to paint a perfect picture A master is at work I'm trying to paint a perfect picture yeah [Verse 2] Zuby's never been a puppet to the modern day oppression So expect a stupid answer if you ask a stupid question A threat to the whole system cuz I rap about progression So they try to hold me back to push the ignorance and weapons You fail cuz it's a hobby but I win cuz it's obsession You think rap is just a job don't understand the damn profession Invest in every session spending hours on perfection Trying to paint a perfect picture through my art and my reflection It's more than just expression, but tell me what's important Is it family, intent, or the material on surface? Does it even matter if your life is a disservice? You can never be the man if to humanity you're worthless To every kid that listens, every person who's believing I hope my music helps you every day of every season And falling is essential you can win long as you're breathing Never sit on your potential man get up and keep achieving [Hook] [Verse 3] Time will wait for no one that's a bitter pill to swallow Your future's in your hands and you can shape your own tomorrow Or you can do what others do cuz sheep are made to follow To the shear or to the slaughter either way the wave will follow Time will wait for no one that's a bitter pill to swallow Your future's in your hands and you can shape your own tomorrow Or you can do what others do, sheep are made to follow To the shear or to the slaughter either way the wave will follow
