Qawi Sales - Paint A Picture
Verse 1: Qawi Sales
They brought my ancestors over in slave ships
Now I suffer from modern day enslavement/
Its still the same sh*t, chain/whips, exchange death
They ain't change sh*t except how the change spent/
Or how the range sits
They cash, straight flip
Tryn stack money, how a crane lifts
I'm on the pac I came to bring the pain b*tch/
Waiting for the next fight like a caged pitt
Tell me why do they lie about history
And tell me why do my lyrics sound heavenly/
I can paint a picture
Detective taking pictures
Wait & listen on a real n*gga making figures/
Imagine the first time indians tasted liquor
Leonardo da vinci, I can paint a picture/
The first time a n*gga got killed by a gun
Now a grown ass man getting killed by his son/
I don't lie about sh*t i'm as real as they come
Planes releasing chemicals to fill in our lungs/
What is that about?...
John Gotti was a boss how could Sammy The Bull rat him out?
The streets UFC I ain't tapping out
We on the front line of war no backing out/
Just tryn earn money by the fastest route
... its hard to leave the streets
But the same n*ggas helping you get payed will dig ya grave
Come to your funeral just to get a plate/
n*ggas become snakes just to win a race
I'm serious bro, these hoes is Marion Jones/
Cut you off if she hit the lottery for life
Started in the hood now she Condaleeza Rice/
The people are split about
We get handed bullsh*t and live it out what is this sh*t about?
The Randy Moss's running the sickest routes?
They use us for entertainment how the f*ck we getting out?
I can paint a picture
Just look out the window
And inhale the smoke from the indo
