The Bigger Picture (feat. Krondon) Lyrics


I learned when I was growin' up
Sometimes you, sometimes me
Always love
Train hard, now my focus up
Got it all but ain't had enoughI learned when I was growin' up
Sometimes you, sometimes me
Always love
Train hard, now my focus up
Got it all but ain't had enoughI'm out the shed and the tools brand new
Dear mama dropped them jewels that I never ran through
The most driven never sat up in the back seat
The most forgiven never flagging down a taxi
That's my word if it's meant to outgrow
Like I used to run home to catch the last of my show
Some move to the future other's living it slow
Old tunes trying to find where the memories flow
You know I try to chase 'em down no dragon
Shit, they shot a Beatle, do people still imagine?

I think the world could be a better place
No fam but I still set a table and I said it's grace
I think I'll let you in my life all access
Gift and curses, cursive closed captions
Misinterpreting the passion
Saving face ain't a game, ain't a time for retractions
I learned one way then front the opposite
I learned behind the beat, now I learned on top of it
I do go against the grain
I do take bigger pictures that don't fit in the frameI learned when I was growin' up
Sometimes you, sometimes me
Always love
Train hard, now my focus up
Got it all but ain't had enoughI learned when I was growin' up
Sometimes you, sometimes me
Always love
Train hard, now my focus up
Got it all but ain't had enoughDip the scriber in the inkwell
Thoughts sketch a snapshot
Vibrant check the detail, now the family eats well
Used to cut the mold off bricks for grilled cheese melts
Wandering the crumbling castle wondering how the things fell
Mansions and lap pools to sleeping on back pews
Pictures and statues where roaches and rats moved
Faithfully I've seen it all alive, and I'm grateful
With Curtis Mayfield singing "Just be Thankful"
Slapping loud out a glasshouse, pearl enamel tooth color
Seasoned old cats then the ragtop, roof covered
Nodded and they nodded back, respect acknowledged
Got a fine arts degree plus the streets are a college
California campus, I've studied abroad
Bloodied the canvas, pondering atlas, "What if he shrugged?"
The rich lady asked, "What if we thug?"
Humanity said "I'm feeling drowsy what is the drug?"
Wake the team up, never alone but on my own two
Held the elevator, check the levels that we've grown through
Philanthropic maybe 'cause I did my dirt
There, I'm haunted, honestly I never fronted all is all I ever wanted
Keep an eye on hustlers, watch out for the schemers
No more kid gloves for the dreamers
Awake trying to live dreams physically, energy is extreme
Lessons of infinity are vivid on the big screenI learned when I was growin' up
Sometimes you, sometimes me
Always love
Train hard, now my focus up
Got it all but ain't had enoughI learned when I was growin' up
Sometimes you, sometimes me
Always love
Train hard, now my focus up
Got it all but ain't had enough

Dilated Peoples is a hip-hop group that has achieved great fame in the underground hip-hop community, although their only real mainstream success was the song This Way, a 2004 collaboration with Kanye West.

DJ Babu (from the DJ crew Beat Junkies), Evidence, and Rakaa joined together in 1992 in Los Angeles, CA and released Third Degree and Work The Angles, which were quickly established as favorites in the underground scene and among rap critics. They eventually signed to Capitol and in 2000 released The Platform, to more critical acclaim. Their sophomore set Expansion Team was released in 2001, led by the Alchemist-produced single Worst Comes To Worst, which sampled from Mobb Deep's Survival Of The Fittest. Their third album, Neighborhood Watch, was released in 2004 and debuted at #55 on USA's Billboard 200 Albums Chart. In addition to the Kanye West-produced single, This Way, it also featured the single Who's Who?, which was also included as a track on the Need for Speed: Underground and SSX 3 soundtracks, and peaked at #35 on the UK Singles Chart.

In 2006, they returned with the single Back Again, produced by The Alchemist. The trio's fourth album, 20/20, debuted on February 21, 2006.

In 2007 they released The Release Party. This package included a feature-length documentary on DVD as well as EP featuring new songs and remixes. The film, released through Decon, is a celebration of the release from their contract with Capital.
