"Walk The Paint"

 “Walk The Paint”

Everybody want to be they something that they ain’t

But everybody something until it’s time to walk the paint

Everybody acting like they good and they saints

But everybody good until it’s time to walk the paint

Everybody playing like they real when they fake

But everybody real until it’s time to walk the paint

Everybody acting like they great when they ain’t

But everybody great until it’s time to walk the paint

Living in a world filled with misconception

Being to get to the truth with all the misdirection

Being able to tell what is that’s just God’s own blessing

Some people get it, some don’t, but it’s like this one big infection

Everybody try to pre-tend perfection

Everybody try to get/ with the flexing

Everybody think they better, better man

Too superhot, they can never fan

So high up/ they can never land

So high up/, they don’t understand

Better sober up, better check again

Life’ll leave you with/out a leg to stand, but

They keep on going, keep on talking out the side of they neck

Loudest mouth, loudest clothes like that’s gon’ make them best

The most girls, most cars, that separates from the rest

But actions matter, they don’t line up, they ain’t passing the test

But, let me take a moment, bring you right back down to Earth

Yo, I’m the Preacher, heed my words ‘cause I’mma take you to church

Slow and steady, easy does it, that’s the way to the strip

Wet floor sign or banana peels, there’s too many ways you can slip

Everybody want to be they something that they ain’t

But everybody something until it’s time to walk the paint

Everybody acting like they good and they saints

But everybody good until it’s time to walk the paint

Everybody playing like they real when they fake

But everybody real until it’s time to walk the paint

Everybody acting like they great when they ain’t

But everybody great until it’s time to walk the paint

Sometimes I sit back like I ain’t got nothing else to say

Sometimes I sit back and see how all the players really play

Hold my word, hold my thoughts, but keep a mind on they ways

Expect the unexpected, people change, but I ain’t never fazed

I see some people win the practice never win the game

Listen, I see some people take the credit, never take the blame

Yo, how you just want to come and take the shot, but you never aim?

Check it, how you just ‘gon shy away from pain, but you want the gain?

Yo, I think people out here mad inconsistent

Everybody want it private, but in somebody else’s business

Always easy being persistent till you run up against resistance

Everybody out here Bennett, but choosing when they come up in it

Yo, you may be a player, but I’m the coach

With what I talk and think, it’s ‘gon really ‘gon help the most

Before you even clown the person hold the towels

Everybody ref until they the ones getting fouls

Everybody want to be they something that they ain’t

But everybody something until it’s time to walk the paint

Everybody acting like they good and they saints

But everybody good until it’s time to walk the paint

Everybody playing like they real when they fake

But everybody real until it’s time to walk the paint

Everybody acting like they great when they ain’t

But everybody great until it’s time to walk the paint
