Portraits Lyrics by Sommy Lovell

Angels & Diamonds

2014

[Verse 1]
Coming off spending my grave shift on that slave shit
At least I'm showing 'em that Naismith
A U-turn they wanted, my adversaries
Every time I be on it, they don't say shit
How they got game on all fours, plotting moves but they off course
And plus of course they want encores but y'all one source of life came off
When I came up, solo shit
Wrote them flows, it's like 50 ways
Mixed the joint for that dolo hit after hitting the keys with my city's weight
Keying in on that mountain top, fit keyholes to Pandora's box
Ancestors learned the key to the whip
And we just worried about the keys to the whip
Just flex for 'em in my best form
Bringing up locals, respect for 'em
And act like I ain't hit em with the stats too
Promise 'em to get them on the map too and fuck rap groups
I rap circles 'round all of you squares with cameras on rec, tangle
With these Gods I push through them odds
I pushed on them cogs in this star spangled
Raised banners, new proclamation, toss conversation
I'm bred for this, it's just effortless
Gon' take y'all niggas whole lifetimes to get next to this
And I'm next out, and old friends mad they left out
And dudes really saying they the best out but they swings miss
And this god damn new school king shit dawg
[Hook]
I just be in my zone, truth is dreams lie in your pockets
Might start believing in prophets
Look in my eyes even though under this, we're really just corpses
Ain't got no goal but she see that gold and she'll drop it
Please Lord forgive me, my people with me
Got all these things on my portraits
Portraits, Portraits
Please Lord forgive me, my people with me
Got all these things on my portraits
Portraits, Portraits
Please Lord forgive me, my people with me
Got all these things on my
[Verse 2]
Past girls became fast girls
I know you bad girl but that's passed right
You said I'm working on a king complex
Maybe something like it in my past life
And all these people got advice
Hanging on like I owe sum' but when this for sale you know the math right
So it's a matter of time before the crows come and they don't know nun'
Ample time, got game together come take mine
It's entertaining what's going through
With this word of mouth from that grapevine
I heard niggas was talking but what else is new
When the same niggas talking don't do what I do
Women that's looking like happy belated
That's great but I'm eating, no dinner for two
I got Debb Roxx on these white walls, really tryna tell my story
House money just might fall right through them cracks if there's light for me
Be that drug stretch margins for
I made a lane what's pardons for, what's pardons for?
Ain't no terms, I fill these urns, what are coffins for?
All I'm seeing is leeches, vultures, tell them niggas there's no discussion
Funny how I'm just schooling the same old classmates still holding grudges
I'm right above it, doing it for my brothers man ain't hear that noise
I'm the best out 'cus they swings miss
And this god damn new school king shit dawg
[Hook]
[Outro]
Been grinding since day one, when my day come
Drown in this vanity know that I plan to be all you see on my
