I PAINT WHAT I SEE Lyrics

I can't help it all my homeys grew up sick, but we brothers

Broken homes, had us finding family in each other

Issues over pride how we validated wars

Now we paying for that gangsta shit we gravitated towards

Ain't no mystery, right amount of cache'll clear your history

Shake my hand and you gone get the sense it ain't no bitch in me

We grew up quicker than the average kids

We where the madness is, famished so we had to live like savages

Hella heads was in the house, cousins on the couch

Roaches crawling out the oven, tryna flip the ounce

We had to come up with a plan when shit got out of hand

The lights went out I understand I'm gone become a man

The closest weapon was my mind but I ain't have the time

So I had to peddle work and grind outside my 9 to 5

You better get up off your ass like you know what's good

You ain't afforded no childhood when you from the hood

Im Just Painting What I see

Love Don't Live here

Said Im just painting what I see

Love Don't Live here

Now tell me what your living like

All the hero's out your neighborhood be on that prison hype

Hard to make decisions when your inner vision isn't right

Sticking to the scriptures like the Christians and the Israelites

But in the mix of tryna keep it righteous

Your morals got to bend or else your life is gone be lifeless

So, we got to hustle, sometimes we got to kill

Gods will if we get enough time, we got to heal

So it's trips to Kahuku

Bread spending Buku

Told my knocks I'm gone be off the clock they said I'm cookoo

Every now and then you got to charge it to the game

Recharge the battery and clear the data out your brain

Now it's, the occasional, drugs recreational

Judge me, but I'm buzzed and Cuzz it's sensational

Worry bout ya self before you shit on someone else

Trials and tribulations on the path to gaining wealth, I know

Im Just Painting What I see

Love Don't Live here

Said Im just painting what I see

Love Don't Live here
