Portrait Lyrics

In this land of tattered kings, I always knew my silence was temporary

The truth is, it's up to me to paint the picture myself, if I wanna be legendary

They say there's one life, one love, and only one king

But with that said, I gotta tell you one thing

The truth is, I tell you that we all kings

But you don't feel it until you know what love means

Paint me

There's so many blurred lines on my portrait

Paint me

Paint me

There's so many blurred lines on my portrait

Paint me

First things first, we first was born to rise

We emerged from the dirt then worked for all our lives

Seen the worst of the worst, was hurt to our demise

From the birth to the hearse, we cursed and born to die

The church is the earth, the earth is more than wise

But every time I search for purpose, it's hard to find

The truth is in the mirror, they tell me, but still I'm blind

Just a mirror man, closing my eyes to see the shine

They say we lost connection with God, but I'm still trying

To strengthen the reception, this call feels like it's dying

I'm reaching out for a lifeline, the tone's silent

Got the number in my head, for some reason I don't dial it

Got numbers on my head, for some reason I'm still violent

I know the consequence, for some reason I still try it

I know that I exist as a being that codes knowledge

Bloodline is royalty, but no longer the throne's silent

Yes God, I raise my head to the sky

When I'm down, I know that I'm a get mine

In due time, because the truth never lies

This crown is so heavy on me, but kings rise

So divine, my life path's number nine

Thirty-sixth chamber, blessings and hard times

Sharp mind, but I got blood in my eyes

I'm following this path that you laid, but there's blurred lines on my portrait

Paint me

There's so many blurred lines on my portrait

Paint me (Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah)

Paint me

There's so many blurred lines on my portrait

Paint me (Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah)

Nah

I don't want to be sinful, I don't want to feel pain

No, I don't want to resent you, I don't want to feel shame

I don't want to hate you, no longer want us to bang

I no longer want to change you, all I want is some change

I don't want to follow you, I don't want to feel lame

I no longer want to bother you, I don't want to complain

I don't want to be followed, I don't want to explain

I don't want to be strangers, I don't want to feel strange

I don't want the ego and things that come with the name

And I don't want to drain you, I don't want to feel drained

I don't want to sell my own soul for the price of fame

And I don't want to sacrifice goals and go insane

I don't want to lie to you, I don't want us to change

I don't want to be abandoned, I don't want to be afraid

I don't want to scare you, don't want to suffer the blame

I just want to heal you, I just want to remain as a king

Yes God, I raise my head to the sky

When I'm down, I know that I'm a get mine

In due time, because the truth never lies

This crown is so heavy on me, but kings rise

So divine, my life path's number nine

Thirty-sixth chamber, blessings and hard times

Sharp mind, but I got blood in my eyes

I'm following this path that you laid, but there's blurred lines on my portrait

Paint me

There's so many blurred lines on my portrait

Paint me

Paint me

There's so many blurred lines on my portrait

Paint me

They say there's one life, one love, and only one king

But with that said, I gotta tell you one thing

The truth is, I tell you that we all kings

But you don't feel it until you know what love means
