Are you lost, are all your thoughts On the same train? I been ridin it, doubt Despite the amount I've yet to acquire In my checking account They checkin me out They peepin my game I paid my dues I even kept my receipt and my change My life is like a movie If Siskel hate it then sue me Fuck a Maybach, I'm straight in the back of this hooptie It started out a hobby, became my life Left my emotions, lonesome, hence the pain I write Some call it therapy Some call it rap music I call it hip-hop No, no No trap music You never seen me heat the pot To whip the rock You never seen me creepin down your block With the Glock You never seen no diamonds in my chain Or in my watch You never seen me in a G5 Or on a yacht But picture that [Chorus: Ab-Soul] Picture this Picture being poor Picture being rich Picture having more Picture not having shit Picture that What a sight to see Picture you, picture me, picture us, picture we Together at the top Where we should be [Verse 2: Ab-Soul] Speaking of being at the top (Champagne, bottoms up) I take that back, cause matter of fact This E and J Dollar shot Is hittin the spot Like a rave My real niggas give me props Cause I ain't afraid to say What I am and what I am not You had her not I had like seven dollars knowin I'mma drop five On that session As soon as A-chizzle hit the block Chocolate swisher burn slow Though I hope it never stop So I can get high And accomplish my endeavors Niggas pullin up in benzes, tellin me that I'm the one I'm guessin when my clock climaxes then my time'll come I never shot a gun But I be killin all y'all raps Cause all y'all wack I be joggin on all y'all tracks I mean so many lines that I could call you all back, yeah I could send you all a fax, with all facts Budget tighter than my bitch's all black bra strap Grab a digital camera And Picture that [Chorus: Ab-Soul] Picture this Picture being poor Picture being rich Picture having more Picture not having shit Picture that What a sight to see Picture you, picture me, picture us, picture we Together at the top Where we should be [Interlude] Shoot for the moon Even if you miss You'll be almost a star Shoot for the moon Even if you miss You'll be almost a star Shoot for the moon Even if you miss You'll be [Verse 3: Ab-Soul] In the presence of my gifted ass Incredible gift of gab Don't have a cent to spare But pull up a chair, I'll take you back To where my Christmases was full of gifts I surely had Left Santa milk and cookies (We miss you Bernie Mac) Left him a letter And what do you know, he even wrote my back I don't remember what it said But the point is that Soon as I had to take the role for my own acts It seemed as though, all my presents started gradually turnin into coal I graduated with a car Four years later that motherfucker's stuck in park I missed the days we cut through the alley to the limo park Or further than that Nick at Nite, Are you Afraid of the Dark? I keep these memories on my mind Cause they define me like Dictionary.com Bliss kisses ignorance Pay them unless Your intelligent And her pussy be wet as shit You would come in a flash Please hold the flash But picture that [Chorus: Ab-Soul] Picture this Picture being poor Picture being rich Picture having more Picture not having shit Picture that What a sight to see Picture you, picture me, picture us, picture we Together at the top Where we should be [Javonte] Photogenic I are No need to be camera shy Hand on the bible, I ain't tellin a lie We only got one, so I'm livin my life Photogenic I are No need to be camera shy Remember where I been, where I'm going And I only got one, so I'm livin my life
