Picture Me
Triumph Amidst Adversity
Lyrics
Don't get it twisted, winners win and losers lose
Emphasizes the dichotomy between winners and losers.
I ride by, slightly faded I cruise
Driving while slightly intoxicated, moving casually.
My windows up, I'm blowing smoke to the blues
Isolating oneself, reflecting on life while smoking.
For all that I see is bullshit on the news
Critical view of media, perceiving negativity in the news.
Yeah, It's the shit that I ponder
Contemplating significant matters or issues.
So where I be at is yonder
Referring to a distant place, possibly mentally or physically.
These calculations that I make
Engaging in thoughtful calculations or decision-making.
For all under the sun, I take
Accepting responsibility for everything under the sun.
My only competition is me
Seeing oneself as the primary competitor.
Call me the answer, call me the key
Claiming to be the solution or the key to challenges.
I'm Not a carbon copy, the OG
Not conforming to others, an original gangster (OG).
On the DL, I'm low key
Keeping a low profile discreetly.
Because these motherfuckers talk, but I don't listen
Ignoring negative talk from others.
Most of them don't even have a pot to piss in
Criticizing others who lack financial stability.
They can fuck around, find out, they go missing
Warning of consequences for those who cross boundaries.
Because they burned me once, but I ain't forgiving
Unforgiving attitude after being betrayed once.
Now they done wrote me off and I ain't write back
Others have dismissed the persona, but no response.
And you can best believe they didn't like that
Anticipating negative reactions to the lack of response.
Cause I came right back, right on the right track
Successfully bouncing back on the right path.
You push me? I'll push you right back
Ready to retaliate if provoked.
(Yeah, you can fall back) (Echo)
Encouraging others to step back.
Y'all need to put respect on my name
Demands respect for the persona's name.
And need to move the fuck out the fast lane
Urges others to move out of the way for success.
It's my mind afflicted, dangerously I'm addicted
Describing a troubled mind, addicted to challenges.
One thousand miles an hour, you can't predict it
Unpredictable, moving at a high speed.
I train hard, go hard when it's game time
Commitment to intense training for crucial moments.
Different and y'all ain't even in the same line
Distinct from others who are not on the same level.
There's levels to this shit
Acknowledging different levels of expertise or success.
But ya'll throw it up and it's a brick
Criticism for poor performance or execution.
It's disrespectful, you're shit, its so forgetful
Disrespectful behavior that is easily forgettable.
I look at you, the shit you put out, its dreadful
Expressing disdain for the quality of others' output.
I'm dedicated to this craft
Committed and devoted to the craft.
And it's easy to see that you won't last
Predicting a short-lived success for others.
I'm ready, that's practiced for every case
Prepared for any situation through consistent practice.
I'll leave you, that's vanished without a trace
Leaving without a trace, indicating dominance.
There ain't no way in hell you can fool me
Confident in not being deceived or manipulated.
So with my John Hancock, I sign that, yours truly
Signing off with confidence and authority.
Now they done wrote me off and I ain't write back
Reiteration of being dismissed with no response.
And you can best believe they didn't like that
Anticipating displeasure at not receiving a reply.
Cause I came right back, right on the right track
Successful comeback on the right path reiterated.
You push me? I'll push you right back
Ready to respond in kind if provoked.
(Yeah, you can fall back) (Echo)
Repeating the advice for others to step back.
