Little Brother - Picture This lyrics

Uh, uh yeah, yeah
No no, no no no, no no no woo, woo
Picture this
Once in your heart, no one can ever depart
Make sure it's real right from the start
Yeah, picture this

Early Saturdays,  eating Golden Crisp
MC Hammer on the radio, I'm 2 Legit
Hammer dance with the Hammer pants
We movin' it i was young when I fell
In love wit' music quick
Dubbin' tapes, It Takes Two, Rob Base
I was dumb, I took two, rob place
Here they come, but this path
Don't wanna chase
I was more than happy being the customer
Creative writer, I scribe words
Your day brighter
But for now, I'ma push it to the side
Just the tip in
Hearin' Kathy trippin', talkin' 'bout college
Me an Po had a plan, if she did the knowledge
One plus one equal three where I'm from
Marvin youngest son had to become
His own man in decision
God's engineerin', Jesus at the wheel
The seven cities was my choice
But the South appeal
Thought I'd be teaching people's kids
Just to keep it real i had hopes
Never thought I'd sign a record deal
I'm just a kid from VA
Who considers himself blessed
Let the ungrateful fight about the rest, yes

Picture this
Once in your heart, no one can ever depart
Make sure it's real right from the start
(yeah, yeah) picture this, down memory lane
Crazy how far that we came
Some things don't ever have to change
Ayo, picture this

It's Soundbombin' for the downtrodden
Whether the game's elimination or round robin
'Cause God'll laugh at your plans
Took half my advance
Invested in a eight passenger van
And drove off on behalf of the dance
Just me and my mans
Chasin' the dream and pretty girls
With the long hair
But somethin' went wrong there
I tried to be strong
Was on the bottom so long
It felt like I belonged there picture this
Steppin' out on your faith is a heavy path
To make it out wit' your
Dignity and some petty cash
Pimp hand strong
We backhand it like Steffi Graf
The realest to do it, yo
Put it on my epitaph
So fresh, so independent
So free, so me, why you in your feelings?
I needed shelter and I
Couldn't find the antidote
So God gave me the words
To let me Penicillin, yeah

Picture this
Once in your heart, no one can ever depart
Make sure it's real right from the start
Picture this, down memory lane
Crazy how far that we came
Some things don't ever have to change
Picture this

I, I, I can't read the teleprompter can you
Can you do the fucking prompter right?
No one knows how to
Operate a prompter in this building!
Son of a bitch!
May God bless our nation, and this station
Thank you take us out what does that
Mean, take us out? It says here, "play
Us out" What does that mean
Music's gonna play us out?
What the fuck does that mean? I
Don't even like Little Brother and, tell you
The truth Percy Miracles was a son of
A bitch stole money from me
And at the Christmas
Party in 1989, I swear to God
He hit on my wife i'll
Never forgive Percy for
That it's a miracle that he's dead i
Feel bad about saying that i, I
I shouldn't have said that
I sincerely apologize
