Or you just need to paint a picture or just [Am] sketch a draft?
Cause how you know you're going down the [D] wrong road
If you're in a dark place, then you don't select [Gm] the path
But picture you talking loads about [F] goals and riches
With a phone full of crow shots, [Eb] hoes and bitches
And a head filled with false dreams
[Dm] I talk to God like it's R.E. about my [Cm] pictures
Cause I can't see, I'm at war with my [Bb] mind

Of the black star on my waist like [F] Kwame
Guys you're on my case, it's like I [Eb] was on dialing banks
With some pay while you were [Cm] busy flicking shanks for a [Dm] name
Busy robbing drugs with a dipper, or you [Cm] can call me Schofield
Why?
Cause I'm a prison in my [Bb] skin
But I won't ever have a prison in my picture
Listen [A] to my [Cm] scripture, like teachers with teardrops
[D] Principles a killer, all for the striller
[Gm] But it's not hard, it comes from within
[Fm] So don't let anybody tell [F] you to put drugs in a cling
[Eb] And don't let anybody tell you you can't run, [F] dance, sing
Be a baller, you can be a [Cm] king

[Cm] Who's the guy inside the hospital, all this brain that he makes?

A memory that fades, a picture you didn't paint
[G] I bet them boys think I'm panicking
Pep Guardiola's GI [Bb] manager
Stop saying that you beef me, it's embarrassing
I never had these pay gaps till my face [Eb] was on this rapping thing
Now every other ute [D] is on a chatting ting
See [Gm] me in a rave, it's Black Blades, lightsabers call me Anakin
Music money, pay gaps, education from my hand in it
I try so hard in my caps to give a message
But it's messed up, I'm still getting shredded by some savages
I swear you don't know pressure
Ask Jack, [Bb] I had labels playing deal or no deal
Like I'm Noel [N] Edmonds, independent, no pressure
My whole team niked out to the socks
You should know better, A-levels, no pressure
And my ex just texted me, she should know better
I can still paint a picture, put a pen into my hand
