[Hook]
Mind feeling like a canvas, always going blank
Got some color in the world, need a lot of paint
Lord, tell me there is hope after all the pain
I might probably kill my liver in another drink
Mind feeling like a canvas, always going blank
I been working on my flow, tryna make a name
Lord, tell me there is hope; I might go insane...
(When them demons come around, should I run away?)
[Verse 1]
Have you ever held the weight of a loaded gun?
Let me tell bout the time I was facing one
I was only seventeen, I was almost done
Teens dying by the hollows while you running tongue
It was 38, no Cali, but my family West
I got blessings in disguise, I might go invest
I’m just tryna up the credit, cashing in the checks
Every show an exam, I should ace the test
I should call Linda just to say I’m here
Planned to be the best by my Senior year
And Lord I learned a lot, just to feel the fear
Others left the city, saw ‘em disappear
Can’t say I hate it, but the love is tough
I’ll come and visit, tryna wish them luck
Don’t know that feeling, we ain’t ever stuck
But if I stayed, there’s some gold that I might’ve struck
[Hook]
Mind feeling like a canvas, always going blank
Got some color in the world, need a lot of paint
Lord, tell me there is hope after all the pain
I might probably kill my liver in another drink
Mind feeling like a canvas, always going blank
I been working on my flow, tryna make a name
Lord, tell me there is hope; I might go insane...
(When them demons come around, should I run away?)
[Verse 2]
And they talking bout my uncle, but we standing tall
I’m a Giant in my city, I should run the ball
That’s my blood, that’s my fam, who you really call?
Haters praying that I fell, I ain’t ever fall
My suits Taylor made like my cousins too
My hands stay Christian, blessings in the booth
Got God on my side, I can’t ever lose
I been standing by my word, like it was the news
But let me tell you bout the girl that I used to know
I would call her on the phone, sing her what I wrote
She told me "never get high, don’t you ever smoke
You got better things to do, never overdose”
I’m high off myself and never touched the sky
People losing track of time when a homie die
So life and death be the only time, you only cry
Since you’re a man with that phony pride, lonely eyes
[Hook]
Mind feeling like a canvas, always going blank
Got some color in the world, need a lot of paint
Lord, tell me there is hope after all the pain
I might probably kill my liver in another drink
Mind feeling like a canvas, always going blank
I been working on my flow, tryna make a name
Lord, tell me there is hope; I might go insane...
(When them demons come around, should I run away?)
[Verse 3]
How you paint a picture when you left the ease?
Yeah we got a couple wants, maybe several needs
We could build a couple malls, kill a couple trees
Or better yet, come together just to save the leaves
True, the only poles you know are at the club
You ain’t vote like you should, now we stuck with Trump
And them bills adding up, like it’s every month
Claim you wanna make a change, you been slowing up
Kids getting shot in the school that they attend
Them guns full circle, you dying to spare a friend
Teachers crying out, the violence will never end
While the NRA says these rights are their amend
This canvas painted red and green to show the cost
Four canvas in a square, saying that’s a loss
Anyway that you flip it, you could change the odds
You’re Picasso in the making, paint it like a boss
[Hook]
Mind feeling like a canvas, always going blank
Got some color in the world, need a lot of paint
Lord, tell me there is hope after all the pain
I might probably kill my liver in another drink
Mind feeling like a canvas, always going blank
I been working on my flow, tryna make a name
Lord, tell me there is hope; I might go insane...
