Letra de Bigger Pictures
And when I was one, was just the first son To carry the burden, I was barely a person My folks were young but committed To keep up their end of the bargain Protect me from harm and grow a gardenI was loved, I was fed, might sleep through the night I was taught how to talk And how to read you from left to right I learned to argue and fight from a distance Where my vulnerability gets no recognitionAnd by the time I was 11, I was already defensive An extension of the environment and reinforced messages Preemptively believed eventually I'll be a failure To my family and friendships And when you mix it and blend it with contemporary pressures of adolescence Emphasis on the consensus of a book full of portraits, but didn't consider That we've been sketching stick figures underneath bigger picturesAnd on my 21st birthday already had my first-born baby boy And maybe homie saved my life But Papa kept the motor running I'ma come and see ya later Tryna color up some paperTryna to make this right I realize most experiences are coincidental But I'll never let go of these regrets I hold That's why the pieces that were missing always felt more special Better bring some bigger pencils to sketch my soulBut yo, when I was 31, both ends burnin' 'em Thought that I was lost in the jungle But I was in search of somethin' Learnin' how to deconstruct my puzzle Permanently nervous I was in love with the hustleThe devil went to hell just to sell that selfishness They tried to make me feel important, I fell for it Embarrassment, trepidation Plus a healthy dose of self-imposed limitations Over my own illustrationsAnd when I struggled with the number 41 I had a couple more sons And it feel like my real life had just begun It's getting harder to translate It's likely I've already played my part of this landscapeAnd all of this time, I'd been following my design Tryna find a little solace in how the stars align It kind of looks like glitter But every pixelated flicker Gets the proper position in the biggest of picturesAnd when I was 51On and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and onOn and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and onOn and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and onOn and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and onOn and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and onOn and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on
