《Built by Pictures》歌词

[00:00:00] Built By Pictures - Oddisee

[00:00:20] I was born with small access to big dreams

[00:00:24] And detached homes

[00:00:24] And lazy boy couches were fit thrones that

[00:00:27] Would sit kings

[00:00:28] Lion statues on the fences larger than the castles

[00:00:30] They guarded lawns made the pastures pristine

[00:00:34] A race with the have nots

[00:00:35] Broke but the moat's where the jag's parked

[00:00:37] Doing dirty work but the whips clean

[00:00:38] Notice the jones's

[00:00:39] All of what they have is for the showing even notices

[00:00:41] On doors or for closures

[00:00:42] I'm trying to get income and then some

[00:00:45] Ride around in something the system bumping

[00:00:47] The disk jumping I'm rolling

[00:00:49] A slight high

[00:00:50] From being able to buy what you shouldn't

[00:00:51] But you never knew why

[00:00:53] Never mind this the feeling I've been wanting for time

[00:00:55] Flying blind into a wall strong drawing to shine

[00:00:58] I just looked at the pictures

[00:00:59] Didn't have a manual to build this

[00:01:01] Just assemble it from feeling

[00:01:03] By looking at pictures

[00:01:04] I was given tools meant for building

[00:01:06] With no instruction for the wielding

[00:01:08] But look at the picture

[00:01:09] It ain't even close to the description

[00:01:11] And yet it's working as I wished it

[00:01:13] By looking at pictures

[00:01:14] And even though parts of it are missing

[00:01:16] It's still complete in the depiction

[00:01:19] Started off trying to make a way

[00:01:21] Then I made a wave that made a wage

[00:01:23] That lay to waste the paper chase that I was into race

[00:01:26] But how you even stop this thing

[00:01:28] I never learned so in turn I'ma burn out breaks

[00:01:30] Spend it faster than the churn out makes

[00:01:32] But I'm a phoenix I went from ashes to classes

[00:01:34] Shoebox to plastic

[00:01:36] Credit could buy what ever imagined

[00:01:37] Developing habits I can't kick

[00:01:39] Man I was rocking cleats to a match full of baskets

[00:01:42] Fast break broke the safe trying to bask in

[00:01:44] Sums that wasn't real but ones and nils and they asking

[00:01:48] Debit or credit the latter please

[00:01:49] Climbing into debt without a sweat when it's gradually

[00:01:52] Had to make a couple mistakes that I couldn't erase

[00:01:55] Overdrawn but I turned out great

[00:01:56] I just looked at the pictures

[00:01:58] Didn't have a manual to build this

[00:02:00] Just assemble it from feeling

[00:02:02] By looking at pictures

[00:02:03] I was given tools meant for building

[00:02:05] With no instruction for the wielding

[00:02:07] But look at the picture

[00:02:08] It ain't even close to the description

[00:02:10] And yet it's working as I wished it

[00:02:11] By looking at pictures

[00:02:13] And even though parts of it are missing

[00:02:15] It's still complete in the depiction

[00:02:18] I maneuver by example good or bad

[00:02:20] Triumphs and tramples something I couldn't grasp

[00:02:22] I wouldn't pass

[00:02:23] I would rather struggle assembling what I can do

[00:02:25] Look at that

[00:02:27] Little different but the differences

[00:02:28] Make it what it isn't

[00:02:29] Is is whatever I want to witness

[00:02:31] Behold a vision outside of the city limits

[00:02:33] Where time is more valued than money for

[00:02:35] The spending ascended to deeper things

[00:02:37] Never knew reasoning

[00:02:38] Throwing random spices into life for the seasoning

[00:02:41] Without a silver spoon I couldn't taste what I was prepping

[00:02:43] My guesses made the wooden whip a problem to a question

[00:02:45] Why do my people spend more and have less than

[00:02:48] No seat to eat the meal that I'm responsible for

[00:02:50] Cheffing imagining the window was just a mirror reflection

[00:02:53] I turned the sideline into a seat at the concession

[00:02:55] I just looked at the pictures

[00:02:57] Didn't have a manual to build this

[00:02:59] Just assemble it from feeling

[00:03:01] By looking at pictures

[00:03:02] I was given tools meant for building

[00:03:04] With no instruction for the wielding

[00:03:05] But look at the picture

[00:03:07] It ain't even close to the description

[00:03:08] And yet it's working as I wished it

[00:03:10] By looking at pictures

[00:03:11] And even though parts of it are missing

[00:03:13] It's still complete in the depiction
