Kliff Press - Picture Me Rolling

It's plenty paper in these pages
I don't need it in my pocket
Mama said it's all the same
And that's the reason I be writing
Hand me downs went around
Me and my brothers shared it properly
Well this is something I can call my own
Throughout the poverty
The government the property
Was feeling like a dome to me
Had to watch my city fall
Within these walls was home for me
Don't make my heart your home to be
Consider it stolen
All I got is me
I hope you happy
Picture me rolling

It's on this page what I'm smoking
It feel like murder he wrote it
I know I'm drowning my sorrows
Then I lose breath and can't focus
Within these raps something potent
My mind react the pen floating
A different track the same notion
You let me drown and ain't notice
Not enough bread to keep butter
Just enough bread for my brothers
She cooked food out the cupboard
But wasn't eating at supper
I hope you know that I love you
And this some shit that I feel
Sometimes I get out my body
Like this ain't no way to live
You know that I would give my right eye
Just to live like my left
I been surrounded by some demons
Lions, Tigers and Bears
I'm a child of destiny
Don't know our father that well
Kliff Press should be in the bible
Got some stories to tell

It's plenty paper in these pages
I don't need it in my pocket
Mama said it's all the same
And that's the reason I be writing
Hand me downs went around
Me and my brothers shared it properly
Well this is something I can call my own
Throughout the poverty
The government the property
Was feeling like a dome to me
Had to watch my city fall
Within these walls was home for me
Don't make my heart your home to be
Consider it stolen
All I got is me
I hope you happy
Picture me rolling

Picture me rolling
Picture me smoking my luck
I got a dollar and a dream
The worth of each ain't enough
You let the bridges burn
That led into the city you built
I had strength, I'm Achilles
It felt like you was my heel
I'm on the rapper road to riches
Chasing dreams like this was nascar
Ricky bobby for the profit
Taking off, im shooting stars
People say they proud of me
Ain't figure I'll get that far
Appreciate your part to play
It's curtains like the last call
Coping with anxiety
A shadow of society
Derived from the same side
So why my peers denying me
That line in itself is personal
It keep reminding me
All I really got is myself
That's how it gotta be
Kliff hold the weight
I guess that's only fair
We the same but we not equal
Let me tilt the scale
I never had a lot
But what I got, know I consider rare
I'm from a dollar and a dream
Just know the dollars
They weren't there

It's plenty paper in these pages
I don't need it in my pocket
Mama said it's all the same
And that's the reason I be writing
Hand me downs went around
Me and my brothers shared it properly
Well this is something I can call my own
Throughout the poverty
The government the property
Was feeling like a dome to me
Had to watch my city fall
Within these walls was home for me
Don't make my heart your home to be
Consider it stolen
All I got is me
I hope you happy
Picture me rolling
