Portrait
In this land of tattered kings, I always knew my silence was temporary
The truth is, it's up to me to paint the picture myself, if I wanna be legendary
They say there's one life, one love, and only one king
But with that said, I gotta tell you one thing
The truth is, I tell you that we all kings
But you don't feel it until you know what love means
Paint me
There's so many blurred lines on my portrait
Paint me
Paint me
There's so many blurred lines on my portrait
Paint me
First things first, we first was born to rise
We emerged from the dirt then worked for all our lives
Seen the worst of the worst, was hurt to our demise
From the birth to the hearse, we cursed and born to die
The church is the earth, the earth is more than wise
But every time I search for purpose, it's hard to find
The truth is in the mirror, they tell me, but still I'm blind
Just a mirror man, closing my eyes to see the shine
They say we lost connection with God, but I'm still trying
To strengthen the reception, this call feels like it's dying
I'm reaching out for a lifeline, the tone's silent
Got the number in my head, for some reason I don't dial it
Got numbers on my head, for some reason I'm still violent
I know the consequence, for some reason I still try it
I know that I exist as a being that codes knowledge
Bloodline is royalty, but no longer the throne's silent
Yes God, I raise my head to the sky
When I'm down, I know that I'm a get mine
In due time, because the truth never lies
This crown is so heavy on me, but kings rise
So divine, my life path's number nine
Thirty-sixth chamber, blessings and hard times
Sharp mind, but I got blood in my eyes
I'm following this path that you laid, but there's blurred lines on my portrait
Paint me
There's so many blurred lines on my portrait
Paint me (Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah)
Paint me
There's so many blurred lines on my portrait
Paint me (Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah)
Nah
I don't want to be sinful, I don't want to feel pain
No, I don't want to resent you, I don't want to feel shame
I don't want to hate you, no longer want us to bang
I no longer want to change you, all I want is some change
I don't want to follow you, I don't want to feel lame
I no longer want to bother you, I don't want to complain
I don't want to be followed, I don't want to explain
I don't want to be strangers, I don't want to feel strange
I don't want the ego and things that come with the name
And I don't want to drain you, I don't want to feel drained
I don't want to sell my own soul for the price of fame
And I don't want to sacrifice goals and go insane
I don't want to lie to you, I don't want us to change
I don't want to be abandoned, I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to scare you, don't want to suffer the blame
I just want to heal you, I just want to remain as a king
Yes God, I raise my head to the sky
When I'm down, I know that I'm a get mine
In due time, because the truth never lies
This crown is so heavy on me, but kings rise
So divine, my life path's number nine
Thirty-sixth chamber, blessings and hard times
Sharp mind, but I got blood in my eyes
I'm following this path that you laid, but there's blurred lines on my portrait
