Built By Pictures - Oddisee[00:00:00]
I was born with small access to big dreams[00:00:20]
And detached homes[00:00:24]
And lazy boy couches were fit thrones that[00:00:24]
Would sit kings[00:00:27]
Lion statues on the fences larger than the castles[00:00:28]
They guarded lawns made the pastures pristine[00:00:30]
A race with the have nots[00:00:34]
Broke but the moat's where the jag's parked[00:00:35]
Doing dirty work but the whips clean[00:00:37]
Notice the jones's[00:00:38]
All of what they have is for the showing even notices[00:00:39]
On doors or for closures[00:00:41]
I'm trying to get income and then some[00:00:42]
Ride around in something the system bumping[00:00:45]
The disk jumping I'm rolling[00:00:47]
A slight high[00:00:49]
From being able to buy what you shouldn't[00:00:50]
But you never knew why[00:00:51]
Never mind this the feeling I've been wanting for time[00:00:53]
Flying blind into a wall strong drawing to shine[00:00:55]
I just looked at the pictures[00:00:58]
Didn't have a manual to build this[00:00:59]
Just assemble it from feeling[00:01:01]
By looking at pictures[00:01:03]
I was given tools meant for building[00:01:04]
With no instruction for the wielding[00:01:06]
But look at the picture[00:01:08]
It ain't even close to the description[00:01:09]
And yet it's working as I wished it[00:01:11]
By looking at pictures[00:01:13]
And even though parts of it are missing[00:01:14]
It's still complete in the depiction[00:01:16]
Started off trying to make a way[00:01:19]
Then I made a wave that made a wage[00:01:21]
That lay to waste the paper chase that I was into race[00:01:23]
But how you even stop this thing[00:01:26]
I never learned so in turn I'ma burn out breaks[00:01:28]
Spend it faster than the churn out makes[00:01:30]
But I'm a phoenix I went from ashes to classes[00:01:32]
Shoebox to plastic[00:01:34]
Credit could buy what ever imagined[00:01:36]
Developing habits I can't kick[00:01:37]
Man I was rocking cleats to a match full of baskets[00:01:39]
Fast break broke the safe trying to bask in[00:01:42]
Sums that wasn't real but ones and nils and they asking[00:01:44]
Debit or credit the latter please[00:01:48]
Climbing into debt without a sweat when it's gradually[00:01:49]
Had to make a couple mistakes that I couldn't erase[00:01:52]
Overdrawn but I turned out great[00:01:55]
I just looked at the pictures[00:01:56]
Didn't have a manual to build this[00:01:58]
Just assemble it from feeling[00:02:00]
By looking at pictures[00:02:02]
I was given tools meant for building[00:02:03]
With no instruction for the wielding[00:02:05]
But look at the picture[00:02:07]
It ain't even close to the description[00:02:08]
And yet it's working as I wished it[00:02:10]
By looking at pictures[00:02:11]
And even though parts of it are missing[00:02:13]
It's still complete in the depiction[00:02:15]
I maneuver by example good or bad[00:02:18]
Triumphs and tramples something I couldn't grasp[00:02:20]
I wouldn't pass[00:02:22]
I would rather struggle assembling what I can do[00:02:23]
Look at that[00:02:25]
Little different but the differences[00:02:27]
Make it what it isn't[00:02:28]
Is is whatever I want to witness[00:02:29]
Behold a vision outside of the city limits[00:02:31]
Where time is more valued than money for[00:02:33]
The spending ascended to deeper things[00:02:35]
Never knew reasoning[00:02:37]
Throwing random spices into life for the seasoning[00:02:38]
Without a silver spoon I couldn't taste what I was prepping[00:02:41]
My guesses made the wooden whip a problem to a question[00:02:43]
Why do my people spend more and have less than[00:02:45]
No seat to eat the meal that I'm responsible for[00:02:48]
Cheffing imagining the window was just a mirror reflection[00:02:50]
I turned the sideline into a seat at the concession[00:02:53]
I just looked at the pictures[00:02:55]
Didn't have a manual to build this[00:02:57]
Just assemble it from feeling[00:02:59]
By looking at pictures[00:03:01]
I was given tools meant for building[00:03:02]
With no instruction for the wielding[00:03:04]
But look at the picture[00:03:05]
It ain't even close to the description[00:03:07]
And yet it's working as I wished it[00:03:08]
By looking at pictures[00:03:10]
And even though parts of it are missing[00:03:11]
It's still complete in the depiction[00:03:13]
