Paint a Picture Written by Xception

Over a yellow afternoon
Blue and white lights surround the outline of doom
The latest installment
Of chalk over pavement
Part two in the series of imitations of slaveships
Hard to describe the scene was tied off
Like a Keith Haring painting came alive and laid on the sidewalk
The ground was so hard her blood was so soft
Splattered on the bricks like a bomb had gone off
Yo, you swear to god that Osama showing off, but
Its just the cops and the calm they towing off
We say we used to it, but the truth is
We still feel life long abuse through it
And that’s my perspective from this moment captured in time
Elapsed in a rhyme perhaps in a rhyme
You hear the words spoken but the vision is refined
A collision with wisdom I paint a picture in your mind

A wise man once said a wise man doesn’t say much so
I wonder what I write these rhymes and fill em with love for
It must be the way that Tiffany Upshaw
Left them CDs at the crib I grew up on
Set me up on a path that I never strayed from
My passion for Hip-Hop you where it came from
Then where you came from after fifteen years
You suddenly appeared when my Father’s put to rest
And at the same time you reminded me I’m blessed
As we all are, when we recall the all stars
Cus that’s where it all starts
Every flame burning started out with a spark
You gotta see the light while you darting from dark
Is the art of life the part of life that marks
A place and time with grace and divine energy
I paint a picture in your mind

They say the last days are coming
A storm leaving nothing
But if you look around the world and travel through the slums then
You think it already happened
Civil war, poor water, its like a human disaster
Now action, back to the big screen
Back to the story of the boy having big dreams
Coming up on big scenes
Like star of the Slumdog
A hundred million in billing still live in the slum dog
That’s how it go they make a killing then run off
They take everything except for the sun off
And that’s how we dress now
Let em know you free walk with your chest out
Cus we kings and queens the winter summer fall and the spring
We gotta stand up cus some are gonna fall into things
And lend a hand then man kind will find
That what is written in your heart will paint a picture in your mind
