The Bigger Picture (feat. Krondon) [Prod. By 9th Wonder]
[Produced by 9th Wonder]
[Hook] Alone when I was growin’ up Sometimes you, sometimes me Always love Train hard and I’mma focus up Got it all but ain’t have enough
[Verse 1] I’m out the shed and the tools brand new Dear momma droppin’ jewels that I never ran through The most driven never sat up in the back seat The most forgiven never flaggin’ down a taxi That’s my word if it’s meant to outgrow Lake I used to run home to catch the last of my show Some move to the future others livin’ it slow Old tunes tryna find where the memories flow You know I try to chase ‘em down no dragon 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 its grace I think I let you in my life all access Gift or cursed, it’s cursive closed captions Misinterpretin’ the passion Saving face ain’t a game, ain’t a time for retractions I learn one way then front the opposite I learn behind the beat, now I learn on top of it I do go against the grain I do take bigger pictures that don’t fit in the frame
[Hook]
[Verse 2] [?] the ink well Thoughts sketch a snapshot Vibrant check the [?] now the family eats well Used to cut the mould off bricks for grilled cheese melts Wandering the crumbling castle wondering how things fell Mansions and lap pools asleepin’ on back pews [?] roaches and raps move Thankfully I seen it all alive and I’m grateful With Curtis Mayfield singing “Just be Thankful” Slappin’ at a glass house, [?] Couple old cats [?] roof covered Nodded and they nodded back Respect acknowledged Got a fine arts degree plus the streets are our college California campus I studied abroad Bloodied the canvas, pondering atlas, what if he shrugged? The rich lady asked what if we thugged? Humanity said I’m feelin’ drowsy what is the drug? Wake the team up, never alone but on my own two Help the elevators check the levels that we grown through Philanthropic maybe cause I did my dirt There I’m on it, honestly I never fronted all is all I ever wanted Keep an eye on hustlers, watch out for the schemers No more [?] close to the dreamers Awake tryna live dreams physically, energy is extreme Lessons of infinity envisioned on the big screen
