Thousand Words - Cordae

Uh

They say a picture's worth a thousand words

You paint a canvas better let it shine huh

I know I done some things that's dead wrong huh

The flash is on this little light of mine yeah

They say a picture's worth a thousand words

You paint a canvas better let it shine huh

I know I done some things that's dead wrong uh

The flash is on this little light of mine yeah

Uh a picture's worth a thousand words a video worth a million

But no amount of likes can heal up all this pain that I'm feeling

Maybe conceal it and hide in all these problems we deal with

I grew up on the principle to raise a child need a village

I think we all wanna be a little Instagram famous

Deep down inside nobody really wanna be nameless

Afraid of being forgotten so this troll s**t we plottin'

Sittin' on this phone for hours feel my brain getting rotten

But I can give a f**k less dawg a n***a is poppin'

All these b***hes that's flockin' s**t a n***a got options

But what's really important is such a silly distortion

We all stuck in this matrix tryna hide our misfortunes

They say a picture's worth a thousand words

You paint a canvas better let it shine huh

I know I done some things that's dead wrong huh

The flash is on this little light of mine yeah

They say a picture's worth a thousand words

You paint a canvas better let it shine huh

I know I done some things that's dead wrong uh

The flash is on this little light of mine yeah

Uh living in this false reality that's in this picture gallery

Based on a n***a's profile we guessin' salary

The lifestyle you advertise was quite strategized

Make a minimal amount and then we maximize

These n***as cappin' with lies how they capitalize

Creating they own perceptions what a massive facade

Digital marketing schemes even broader regime

Live how you want on the internet who thought of this thing

I mean I guess it ain't the worst s**t if life was picture perfect

Who could paint a picture vivid as media circus

The surface is much deeper than even the Earth is

I searched it lookin' for purpose like my first kiss

At the same time this s**t will have you feeling worthless

Back into reality woke up and just reversed it

Now I'm a new man even got a new 'Gram

But let me take a picture with this money by my new Lam'

They say a picture's worth a thousand words

You paint a canvas better let it shine huh

I know I done some things that's dead wrong huh

The flash is on this little light of mine yeah

They say a picture's worth a thousand words

You paint a canvas better let it shine huh

I know I done some things that's dead wrong uh

The flash is on this little light of mine yeah
