(+) The Bigger Picture
Do or die
Look, all I wanna do
is make the city proud, yeah
Wishing all the OGs
could see me now, no, yeah
And when you feel something
you can't see
But you know it's meant to be
You gonna realize that
this is bigger than me yeah
Bigger than me, bigger than me
When the whole family
depend on you to eat
That night you can't sleep
You gonna realize that
this is bigger than me
Get it, get it, get it
I pray that you get it
even if I can't get it with cha
I pray to God you never
let the little things in life
distract you from
the bigger picture
Everybody in the city to me
like a distant cousin, brother
little sister
I see myself in the young ones
When I look in their eyes it
feel like a mirror
Corleone all on my own Don
Cartier all on my arm
All I hear is sirens
and car alarms
Niggas going to war
with no armor on
First time I seen a dead body
I was 14
And I felt the pressure
Like if I don't get it, might
end up next to him
I'ma take the dice and
I'ma roll a 7
Seven, seven, seven, 7 11
it's 911 getting called around
The hood America's
lost and found
Where niggas get lost
and never found
All I ever wanted was to turn
these Gs into Ms and
Mercedes keys
Got it and still felt
incomplete
That's when I realized
this shit was bigger than me
Bigger than me
When the whole town
on their feet
And they all waiting
on you to speak
That's when you realize that
this is bigger than me
All I wanna do is make
the city proud, yeah
Wishing all the OGs could
see me now, now, now, yeah
Ohhh ya ya yeah
Ohhh ya ya yeah
You gon' realize that
this was bigger than me
Used to want that foreign
Got that foreign
now it's boring
Started touring
Swear to God that's when
I realized this shit was
bigger than me
Flash on niggas with the Rollie
Got that Rollie with the shine
But lost my time
That's when I realized
this shit was bigger than me
I seen people in the same place
10 years later
Man that shit pathetic
God talking to me telepathic
like it only happen
if you let it
I can't spend my whole life
looking at the same ceiling fan
When I feel like
I ain't got no ceilings man
If I ain't special
I'll feel it then
I gotta get on the road
I gotta be the one chose
I gotta come back and tell
the greatest story
they never told
This must be the feeling that
you get when you
know you close
And you know it's a way
in even
when the doors are closed
And realize this shit
is bigger than me yeah
Bigger than me
When the whole town
on their feet
And they all waiting
on you to speak
That's when you realize that
this is bigger than me
All I wanna do is make the city
proud, yeah
Wishing all the OGs
could see me
now, now, now, yeah
Ohhh ya ya yeah
Ohhh ya ya yeah
Ohhh ya ya yeah
Ohhh ya ya ya ya
ya ya ya yeah
Ohhh ya ya ya ya
ya ya ya yeah
Ohhh ya ya ya ya
ya ya ya yeah
Well no matter what
I'm proud of you
Even when you
do stupid things
that I have warned you about
You must get that
from your daddy
I'm just kidding, you know
I love you You listening
Yeah yeah, I'm listening
I love you too
In a way I feel like
I'm living through you
Sometimes it feels like
I got another chance
at everything
That's deep to feel like that
I kinda feel the same way
though sometimes
Yeah
With all the work that's goin' on
I feel like this is like
my second time doin' it
So I know that sound crazy but
you know I just I don't know why
I always imagine myself as
like someone who failed
at everything
he ever did at life you know
and I got to the end of life
and just regretted it
all and somehow
this is my chance to go back
and get it all right
And when I wake up with that
I might say
you know it completely
changes my hunger
how I approach the whole day
I mean you decide to live your life
like that then pshh man
I guarantee we'll live life to
our best potential
It's that simple It's all
about living
in the moment Period
