Pictures

Lyrics

[Verse 1: R-Mean] First time I got my ass beat I was eleven or twelve, you know what that teach? I ain't forget how it felt, I learnt a lot by myself In preparation when life come and attack me I take the pain, accept it as God's will Though I know my parents refugees like Pras Will Deep breath, dive into my dreams 'Cause only dead fish swim with the stream, na'mean? Realest of 'em all Never had a father figure so I figure motherfuck 'em all I ain't changin' my opinion for the masses, shit Only answer to God, so don't ask me shit Ha, it's what you puttin' out too How you make others feel about themselves says a lot about you So I fight for hopelessness, homie, it's hopeless 'cause Fake friends, fake love, fake smiles Real Benz, real Louis V Real stones, real jewellery And real loneliness (talk to 'em) you know how true that be Look in the mirror, I know exactly who that be Me [Chorus: R-Mean] All these pictures people Take of themselves Still they don't know who they are Still they don't know who they are All these pictures people Take of themselves Still they don't know who they are Still they don't know who they are [Post-Chorus: R-Mean & Joe Budden] 'Cause we all got potential What you gon' do with it? 'Cause we all got potential What you gon' do with it? [Verse 2: Joe Budden] I see some of you young niggas wadn't schooled I was being myself even when it wadn't cool (talk to 'em) Which just says throughout my menacin' That if a nigga hate me at least I know it's genuine (talk to 'em) Authentic, why you holdin' a grudge? I caught flack all my life, I'm a golden glove I mean my reality don't change from opinions Nor is my perception ever altered by minions Uh, 'cause we all got potential Some fulfil theirs, some keep a stencil All our paths are different, got different mentals Some keep success, for some it's just a rental (talk to 'em) And me and mines got a chemistry Heed my words like they comin' out the ministry 'Cause I understand how you felt still Don't believe in yourself? Nigga, who else will? Joey [Chorus: R-Mean] All these pictures people Take of themselves Still they don't know who they are Still they don't know who they are All these pictures people Take of themselves Still they don't know who they are Still they don't know who they are [Post-Chorus: R-Mean & Joe Budden] 'Cause we all got potential What you gon' do with it? 'Cause we all got potential What you gon' do with it? [Outro: Joe Budden & DJ Megaman (Scratches)] Don't believe in yourself? Nigga, who else will? Don't believe in yourself? Nigga, who else will? Don't believe in yourself? Nigga, who else will? Don't believe in yourself? Nigga, who else will?
