Verse 1:

I stood on the mountain and sinners bow to God about repent
The Devil's promises are ominous a karma is
Way too constantly my thought process is more complex
The vibe is different there's no denyin' I guess I frontin' to those behind me
Miserable talk indicative my potential exhausted, my ceiling's higher
I'm real a flyer, attire wearin' confidence
Analyze me, far remove from thеir indictments
You gotta question how fulfillin' life is
If you considеr bein' a man at Rikers living we on a different time
Reveals truth will set you free of your confinement more than likely
Pressure will break you or form a diamond
Even if floored you're more enduring than conformants miss their calling
Or surrender their dream to vicious corners misinform us
Visions of baller end in court in the beginning or you
When it was vintage orders in the whip like Richard Porter

Chorus:

Fast livin', intrigued my ambitious dreams to make it out indeed some of my friends didn't
Live to see what we envision while schemin' and get rich
In the streets I'm paintin' a real picture

Verse 2:
A coward dies a thousand times he never lived it
I shot arised I'm the realest that ever did it
That's why the pictures I paint are very vivid
And respect got earned ain't nothing given
I've accepted that usin' better decisions
Separate losin' from winnin'
Keepin' enemies close is senseless
Bad energy needs distance
Negative vibes and resentment
Infect jealous minds like a sickness
I understand livin' and existin'
Ain't the same, one lacks contentment
Like a man with good sight but no vision
Can't see he's blind to ambition
If you can't stand the fire leave the kitchen
These conditions teach a man to be resilient, uh

Chorus x2:

Fast livin', intrigued my ambitious dreams to make it out indeed some of my friends didn't
Live to see what we envision while schemin' and get rich
In the streets I'm paintin' a real picture
