Picture Me
Yeah
Uh-huh
Yeah
Something realer this time
Say I been trying to get a dollar out a dime and a nickel
Trying to find a way to make my pockets gon' and triple
Trying to find a way to make my pockets gon' and stack
But the work it got to double only cause I'm born black
What if I told you
That see I barely had a chance on God
I got to live it in advance on God
I'm always claiming what I'm wanting to be
I'm in the booth so I'm finally free
Picture me
You see
Picture me with a million and a baddie
You see the school was celebrating like they had me
Back against the wall, I had turn into a savage
Wake up every day and got to go and make some magic
They always told me I was stupid but it missed me
The only n*gga in my class like the 60s
Mind so sharp
Got it wise like I'm 50
Sick ass flow
You would think a n*gga sip lean
I'm double cupping on the beat
Going nuts on nuts like I'm fucking on the beat
In her guts, in her guts, see they love me in the sheets
Get the pockets on full like I'm chubby in these streets
Woah
Take a ride
We can kill the dash
Fill the tank on full
We can kill the gas
You should come and go with me
I'm Teddy Pendergrass
Like I'm Pendergrass
Say I been trying to get a dollar out a dime and a nickel
Trying to find a way to make my pockets gon' and triple
Trying to find a way to make my pockets gon' and stack
But the work it got to double only cause I'm born black
What if I told you
That see I barely had a chance on God
I got to live it in advance on God
I'm always claiming what I'm wanting to be
I'm in the booth so I'm finally free
Picture me
You see
I found my freedom in the booth
I'm the truth, ay
A bunch of flexing niggas killing for my juice, ay
I never let a n*gga beat me in my youth
But I'm older now
Win the war instead of shootouts
But see I pull it like I'm Steph with the range
Ain't a game
I'm a motherfucking fire to ya' flame
And y'all done sat around and let me find my lane
So the pain is done
Found a part
And now I'm playing one
I'm James Harden with the step back
Watch the footwork
How y'all watched me go and struggle through the woodworks
So you can see me with the lights and the action
The cameras flashing
N*ggas go get to acting
Take a ride
We can kill the dash
Fill the tank on full
We can kill the gas
You should come and go with me
I'm Teddy Pendergrass
Like I'm Pendergrass
Say I been trying to get a dollar out a dime and a nickel
Trying to find a way to make my pockets gon' and triple
Trying to find a way to make my pockets gon' and stack
But the work it got to double only cause I'm born black
What if I told you
That see I barely had a chance on God
I got to live it in advance on God
I'm always claiming what I'm wanting to be
I'm in the booth so I'm finally free
Picture me
You see
Take a ride
We can kill the dash
Fill the tank on full
We can kill the gas
You should come and go with me
I'm Teddy Pendergrass
Like I'm Pendergrass
Picture me with a million and a baddie
You see the school was celebrating like they had me
Back against the wall, I had turn into a savage
Wake up every day and got to go and make some magic
